A single -12 makes it very hard to win with Ad Nauseam. Meanwhile you barely spent any mana and can threaten interaction all day.

Their only chance is if you have slow clocks that tap you out of...

Zero points seems OK.

It would be hard to come up with a fair solution otherwise. Memnite may work to replace 1 banned card. But what if there are no banned cards and the deck just doesn't beat...

It sounds like you want to play Bg aggro-control (creatures & disruption) and not Loam Pox or Depths/other combo. That is Eva Green then.

The Loam + Raven's Crime + Mox Diamond engine has synergy...

The standalone threats are slow clocks though (gives them time to get a 2nd wind) and you don't care about 2-for-1s vs combo. Sailors Bane can't kill until turn 7ish? Stiflenought kills turn 4. The...

I think this is a mistake.

Dreadnought is a very powerful tool against combo. Cheap efficient clock. They don't have removal or blockers. This is the 12/12's best match!

How did you board against ANT? What went in and what went out? I wonder if that's the problem. Because even if you Force the wrong thing, this matchup seems 98%/2% in your favor.

7 pieces of hate...

Even worse: the mana. 4x Breeding Pool + 0 Prismatic Vista + 0 Forest. Delver and Goblins are both Wasteland decks. His deck runs Uro, which forces blue fetch to get UG dual. 2-4 mana creatures are...

Agree with Fox.

Goblins -> T1 Caverns Lackey on the play
You can't Force, no 1-mana blocker, no 1-mana removal. All you can do is pray they don't have Muxus, Goblin Grandee = game over. Goblin...

Yeah this is Eva Green. An old archetype that's been around for many years.

Eva Green = Black discard aggro-control (usually with Confidant), splash green for a few tools

Originally the green...

Except I never gave a stat A, so I never did anything inconsistent. I only gave data for UR Delver's current metagame dominance. Your patronizing is then irrelevant.

Where does this "before" stat...

Can't shift goalposts when those are the first I've set.

You mean you disagree with mine. But what are YOUR goalposts? And what makes them right?

That looks like a fun concept!

It looks too ambitious on big mana plays though. Probably cut

Bosh N Roll finally runs UWr SagaStill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJCzE4Qjpwo
Very close to what we were discussing, including the red splash for blasts and the Saga -> Map -> Heliod tech.

I watched the video. The deck looks fairly strong (Round 2 Wasteland punt was unfortunate when opponent ended up winning by exactly 1 mana, 1 turn before dead). I think PunishingWaterfalls also...

To reduce workload on the organizer, we should all do the math for our own decks to calculate both the goldfish turn (GT) and how you beat the target deck (if racing, then what turn). There may be...

Daze needs a lot of "Island"-typed lands. Either
a) 14 Island (all-blue deck)
b) 6 Island-typed lands + 8 lands to fetch them (2-color deck)

Your budget Delver deck didn't have enough "Island"...

You're putting in a lot of effort to keep this going, so I'll keep playing.

What an artifact block! Affinity still looks strong.

I second the separate "Slipknot" thread.

I agree with Fox about the spaghetti thing.

The Challenge was won by UB Shadow. Both days. That says a lot. That weekend was full of combo and Delver (good matchups for Stiflenought), lacking fair...

Great result! I like the Vengeful Pharaoh tech with Currency Converter to discard for value. Free 2/2 while you cycle into a relevant draw and kill their attacker. Works well with Lili too.

Congrats dte on a strong season win!
Also congrats to silkster for not punting any rounds, making it hard to close the gap!

Thanks Asthereal for smoothly organizing such a fun game for 12...

Agree. In this format too many defensive cards don't work at all if you don't allow infinite loops sustained by 1 player. Or what about when you draw by "do nothing"? You should not be forced to...

It's just high variance. Sometimes it's great. Other times you get mana-screwed because your Island entered tapped or lost to nonbasic hate and you wish it was a basic Island. Because of that...
