There's no defense against throwing Endurance @ Ocelot & getting Endurance back. Throwing/flinging, not blocking.

See the line I posted for tirrit's match. GSM can play around Karakas to always...

Endurance can also get thrown at Ocelot Pride, either from Vial or by evoking (exile Chancellor). Endurance then shuffles itself & gets drawn again. Ocelot Pride dies. Even if the remaining 1/1s...

Show and Tell & Unburial Rites were on my radar, but most builds lose to Karakas, and the ones that dodge Karakas lose to Force. Show and Tell Progenitus is also surprisingly bad against 8+ 1/1...

FTW: Leyline of Singularity, Karakas, Cenn's Tactician, Force of Will,

We had to lose to Tabernacle + Megaliths, which meant creatures and no LD. That made Leyline+Karakas look very strong....

Fear of Death Speakers was why I switched from Wall of Light to Obsidian Acolyte.

Death Speakers + Reconnaissance + Leyline + City of Brass
Death Speakers + Mortuary Mire + Tarnished Citadel +...

What's the target deck this time? Tirrit's?

@Tirrit: I had Chalice + Copper Tablet with a worse protection card, but feared it would be too bad if people mimiced with 1cmc threat + painland.

Also 3x Mental Mistep + Memnite (maybe what dte...

I originally submitted Wall of Light but changed it to Obsidian Acolyte after the deadline. Wall was better. My deck was supposed to be unable to win vs Leyline, but now it can.

GoblinSmashmaster:...

Didn't see it but I did take the extra time to submit a modified deck.

How long are we pausing?

I like the build because the combo pieces fill diverse roles.

Swift Reconfiguration is a combo piece but also your Swords to Plowshares: 1 cmc removal stopping Psychic Frog, Tamiyo, Eldrazi,...

Either way we have to beat Cabal Therapy + Fume Spitter + 1 land + 1 cmc threat

Not easy to WW vs Cabal Therapy + 2 creatures!

And Leyline of Anticipation + 2 fast mana sources (Petal, Ritual)...

Blazing Rootwalla would, but not Basking Rootwalla

FTW: Island, Oona's Gatewarden, Force of Negation, Drifter il-Dal, comment: Hope nobody Goes for the Throat

Oona's Gatewarden seemed cute but misled me into thinking Drifter was a safe...

Sorry, I should have confirmed earlier. I agree with Wrath's assessment. I missed that I can discard WoP when we're both at 2 life, Loxodon will enter play, but Rack will kill on upkeep before it can...

Ok, RUG does give the best mix of effects.

How has it been playtesting?

The Baubles trigger Prowess for 0 mana and replace themselves, allowing you to get more Prowess triggers per turn. They...

Good point!

Ghazban Ogre won't trigger at 20-20, it won't even be on the stack.
Rack trigger will deal 1 damage. (19-20)
Then dte redraws Legacy Weapon.
Ogre will attack (19-18)
Then dte is...

I could see a straight RG agGRO build


//Creatures: 23
4 Ignoble Hierarch
4 Soul-Scar Mage
4 Slickshot Show-Off
4 Harmonic Prodigy
4 Electrostatic Infantry
3 Questing Druid

Then don't you lose to the ceiling deck? Bandit's Talent will deal 2 damage each turn + Sulfuric Vortex damage, killing you first. Needs to be something like Loxodon Smiter that forces them to never...

This one may be WL 3-3

dte OTP
T1 Ogre / 1/1 haste goblin
T2 Ogre attacks

If Goblin blocks + Gut Shot, you Mutagenic Growth and win combat (D=18, G=18). Then life totals are tied so you keep...

Lotus, Lotus, Sulfuric Vortex, Loxodon Smiter?

I thought about playing cards like Vortex but it was too slow with Lotus Bloom or charge lands.

Fixed. DL 4-1

I think you vs Reeplcheep is DD 2-2. Mutagenic Growth + Ogre vs 2 Rootwalla and +2/+0: 4/4 vs 3/1+1/1

FTW: Swamp, Rhystic Cave, Raven's Crime, The Rack, comment: Flying too close to the sun?

I expected anti-discard tech like Loxodon Smiter, so I wanted to mimic the deck, but was also nervous...

It might be helpful to say who, so they know to check.

Split Second Hexproof.

LQR doesn't need the element of surprise. You can play it first, not only respond to opponent. It doesn't need a tap ability either.

Even without any tap ability it can...

Delver isn't good anymore. The "Delver shell" now plays 0 Delver. They've pivoted to Nethergoyf, Tamiyo, and Dragon's Rage Channeler. So if you want to build off the success of that tempo shell,...
