    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I would recommend Sanctum Prelate in the board to help shore up combo matchups.

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I agree with you about Spyglass. The reason it has remained in my board is an irrational fear of wasteland, which was a serious problem six months ago when DnT was everywhere. I have a 1k tomorrow,...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    The major upgrade in mono-white is not just the number of plains (which do shore up wasteland matchups and help with resolving sideboard cards against moon decks) but also the number of sol lands...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    In the interest of discussion, why are you keeping in Petal and cutting threats against control decks? The absolute weakest card against Miracles and Grixis Control, in my experience, is Petal. It...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I ran a two-of in a mono-white list and thought it performed well. It was an annoying card for a lot of decks to deal with, it pumped up Karn tokens, and I found that running Karn as a four-of is...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I highly doubt there will be that many decks that can run this except a U/W build of Bomberman--other than Legacy Humans. It's a human so it is uncounterable in our deck. It stops EE on zero and...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I have an idea for this match-up that I plan to try at at 2-5k this weekend, which is two Grand Abolisher in the board. My thought is that I can effectively play nothing of value except for Chalice,...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    Definitely, but post-board it makes Prelate better. I currently run two and I might go up to three. The decks that will run AT are likely to be Aggro Loam, Maverick, and possibly some type of BUG...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I run two main. I previously only ran one, but I find it to be highly effective at removing hate that might impede us, such as main deck pithing needle or a revoker. It is also a "free" prowess...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    Wonderfully--as a two-of. Flying blockers buy a bunch of time to combo off. It's also a good reminder of how good flying is in general in the format. The fact that it triggers off of casting any...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I agree on the first count (that we lost one of our best matchups) but not on the second (weakness to combo). There is always a trade-off between being "fair" and being a combo deck ourselves. Karn...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I am certainly not advocating turning bomberman into "Karn Stompy." Its another threat, of which there can be many other different threats.

    I don't feel like DnT is especially unfavored, but its...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    Although I never thought Karn was a poor decision, I think its stock has improved greatly with the uptick in DnT. My primary problem with it is that it helps us play a "fair" game, which I didn't...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I don't think it's crazy to enter that into the equation. I was on a fetch build of B/W, U/W and U/B/W, and I really could not discern an advantage over either running gold lands (for the three-color...

    Re: Chalice Bomberman/Bomberman Stompy

    I completely agree on the artifact lands (I run 7 in my B/W build and 8 in my U/W list).

    Here is an opening line that having that many artifact lands really helps achieve:

    I would love to know why you don't think playing a single splash color (not a 3-5c human build) can be accomplished with more artifact lands, thereby actually making it easier to get Opal online. I...

    I think if you run Spyglass and 1-2 Karakas then, yes, this should be pretty easy. Karakas in the MB, though, makes us even weaker to a variety of nonbasic land hate without too much upside, except...
