This is exactly how I feel!

There really should be separate threads for transmute builds and straight up UR painter. Especially now that the TA version actually has made some great results!

Again, we are not looking for a creature that wins the game when we have food chian + griffin(s) going.

Emrakul does that, so in that case you'd go get him.

We are looking for a card that...

The reqasoning behind sphinx is based on the following observations made when testing with this deck:

A. I observed that I wanted a hardcastable card that could be fetched with empaths in...

Daaaaiiiimmn that desperate research card is pretty cool.

If it get you what you want and exiles a griffin it's nuts. Depends on how often it will miss though. Will have to test that!

Wrote a long report from the danish legacy masters tourney for a swedish website but I lost it due to a misclick in posting.

Short version follows:

List was:
4 food chain
3 misthollow...

Has anyone been trying glimpse of nature as a wincon, instead of empaths and 6-15 drops that do nthing pre-food chain.

It should draw at least one card early game, sometimes two. It works fine...

Ok, so I'm rocking this on MTGO right now. I quite desperately need sideboard suggestions though, as I just can't think of what to put in there. It seems to me that we either have answers in the deck...

The list I played (in the report).

4 Food Chain
3 Manipulate Fate
3 Misthollow Griffin
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
3 Fierce Empath
1 Consecrated Sphinx

4 Baleful Strix

Played a tournament with a UBg version of this deck last weekend. 1st prize was a NM Mox sapphire so I was pretty excited to test this deck in a real tournament. fewer people than expected showed up...

Thanks for the comment. I will swap the one coiling oracle I had in my list for either a wall of roots or sylvan library. I considered misdirection previously but with the UBg version you already...

----- Warning, long post ahead ---------

Been tweaking this deck for the last two weeks for a tournament this weekend.
Yesterday I went 3-1 at the weekly tuesday tournament and went well in...

I played him day 2.
I believe the guy is russian, or at least from easteern parts of europe.
He was a very nice guy and we had an awesome match.

He played 4 karn liberated MD

The case you mention is a classic one of do you "trust" your opponent to be good.

If you do, you should let the misstep resolve since your opponent willingly paid the 2 life and thus has a better...

It is usually very obvious when they are going to activate SFM. I find that a lot of times vendilion clique is really good since you just wait for them to activate and clique away their equipment in...

The bye system is bad and it's the only reason these players gerry T refers to as quality players, and also himself, is consistently in the top8 of tournaments this size.

I understand why he...

Sure, but your argument is assuming that everything is kind of going according to plans.

frequently when I lose it's against decks that make many small disruption plays. In these games I think it...

Btw. I think the new peek could be good in here. (gitaxian probe)

pros: thins the deck, improves cabal therapy, improves your game plan.

cons: 2 life can hurt but Im guessing it will be...

What I meant was that if you play a lifegain creature as your "kill" and you motivate that inclusion with the argument that "it's not as bad pre-combo", then you are actually fooling yourself. Both...

On the discussion of having strix vs not having strix. As much as I hate the unintentional mull-to-6 when you get a harpy or a strix on your starting 7 (harpy is good in recruiterless, however), I...

I actually think that everflowing chalice is what truly has potential in this deck. once youve porliferated it twice it already pays for free proliferation rest of the game while adding mana to...

Nice report!

I think seeing your list kind of opened my eyes and I was like "dude, Im not running FoW" So Ive put the forces back in and upped on blue spells. Blue spells are awesome. Still not...

You just ask him, "so your clique survives then ?"

If he anewers yes, he's toast =).

the +1 power (sometimes) of arctic merfolk is not nearly as relevant as being able to play it on t2 as a guy to sac to therapy now or later. the only reason Im not running two is double bolt or...

Hey Cacks!

I also found BoP so good I added one off hierarch and have been happy with it. Seems we reached the same conclusion independently. =)

My list is:

4 aluren
4 imperial recruiter...

@kiblast:

I like your list and it is extremely similar to what I've played and a mix of those cards is probably what's best for recruiterless aluren.
The other way to go is the 4xHarpy 4x...
