    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    The guy who played it is often playing a Modern prison deck and is live in that Discord. If you want to ask him questions I can PM you a link.

    Again, to each their own. I have seen builds without it that have worked and with Karn now taking space you will do what you can. Personally I feel that playing with a 4 mana tutor means I want to...

    Sure, but you are always going to hit a wall trying to prove something if all you have is an opinion and no prof.

    No, its not. There are decks where the win condition is looping a card from your grave to the top of your Library and letting them draw out. Hell there is one in Standard right now. The point of...

    But Metalworker is for setting up, getting the ball rolling. The point of the card it not to still be involved in the game at the point where you want to be empty handed. At that point your changing...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    They do, but they are in the deck for different uses. Think of it this way, the point of Stax is not to win. You are not playing to win. You are playing not to lose. In that way I split the game into...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    Factory is really handy, since you can make it infinitely large with the Metalworker combo. Back before Ballista was printed that was my kill in Brown Stax.

    You want GQ not because it helps when you are ahead but it puts the screws on when you are level. Once you can Crucible it you can do more damage than you think with that card.

    Bridge is not a nonbo, because I'm looking at it not as an attacker but as a draw engine. The ablity to make Clues you can sac to Stax or just draw cards, the decks biggest weakness, is itself an...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    If your playing Green, you need Tracker. It's just too strong not to play. Clues, even without buffing Tracker, offer so much.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    I definitely think so. I could cut the Smokestack for 1 extra Garruk (It's a must) and two NO. The issue then is what you put in, you have to shape the deck and your not playing a ton of creatures...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    I agree that Nest is bad overall, I just thought it was cute and was not really sure what else I want there. Maybe something like Devoted Druid.


    Thanks, I will get on that. Should be something I...

    I am surprised to see Buried Ruin totally cut. That card is another form of card selection that is very very handy. Granted I am still playing Metalworker builds so that may lean into my affection...

    I have always found it to be Delver. A deck that can land early pressure and answer things you cast to answer it. Because a lot of our answers take time to set up, a 3/2 with Flying can be a royal...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Stax

    It depends on how you build it. I tun with either a single Ballista or a single Factory. Both offer a way to win much faster. Both are not required.

    So I um... fucked up in the most amusing way. I decided yesterday to play Stax in place of Lands, but didn't have it built. I finished work stupid o'clock in the morning, got home and put the deck...
