I think Exploration is more necessary when you have to hold back your Sanctums in the face of Wastelands, etc. Its the card I want to see when going off over Wild Growth though. Its so hard to pass...

I think this hits close to home for those who resist a Brainstorm ban. These Delve cards were a mistake for eternal formats.
I may be the only pro-Brainstorm person who considers the cantrip...
Key is AT ONCE. It one-for-one's most everything with no sure lock. No reason to insult me while you're at it either.
EDIT: Would that also mean that Jund is a control deck in Modern?
Modern Grixis Control doesn't have a reliable way to nullify several of your opponents cards at once (e.g. Moat, Counterbalance, Terminus.) The bulk of its cards are one-for-one answers that are...
I wouldn't call myself pro-blue, but I am pro-Brainstorm. I'd rather see Ponder, Preordain, Dig Through Time, heck even Gitaxian Probe receive the hammer before Brainstorm.
I like the direction this list is going, though I still think Suppression Field is a beating. I probably would cut the 3rd wincon (Sigil) or move it into the board over the second Replinish.
I usually keep URx Delver/UGx Delver, Miracles, and Enchantress together.
Demonic Consultation, Black Vise, Earthcraft, Frantic Search, Goblin Recruiter, Mind Twist, Survival of the Fittest. I would have included Windfall too.
I guess I'm missing the why people consider Desolate Lighthouse mediocre. Is this in comparison to Nephalia Drownyard? Considering the deck goes infinite, they both fill the graveyard; is it that you...
I'm a little disappointed. I did have Worldgorger Dragon pegged as a possible unban though. I wanted to see:
Banned:
Ponder
Preordain
Unbanned:
Black Vise
Mind Twist
Worldgorger Dragon
Most all decks can answer a turn one Goblin Lackey. With all the tools to sweep small creatures in Red, White and Black, Goblins needs some serious innovation to come back, not just banning a card....
Why Eidolon of Rhetoric and not just straight Rule of Law? I would think a 1/4 blocker wouldn't be that relevant in the Storm matchup.
I have a couple thought experiments I want to propose:
The first, say instead of banning Brainstorm, they banned Ponder and Preordain instead?
The second, pick 5 cards you would unban and...
Very impressive finish. How did Sigil of the Empty Throne do throughout the day? I do think 3 Mirri's Guile is the way to go, even if it is a 1cc draw 2+ cards later on. How was Dryad Arbor?
As...
Have you considered Replenish over the second Eidolon?
I brought it in when I suspected pinpoint enchantment hate; Patriot Delver often runs Wear//Tear. Even with a couple Suppression Fields, being able to search up an enchantment when you need it was...
Played in a small tournament (9 people) and won. I played against Burn, a DNT splash Black, and Patriot Delver (or UWR if you prefer.) Sneak and Show, Dredge, Elves, another DNTB, and some poor guy...
I found that mixing up my win conditions was actually very helpful, though I think Helm is a lot weaker than I expected. The best win condition has been Emy, followed by Sigil, but RiP is very good...
Played a local event with the following:
//Lands
3 Serra's Sanctum
4 Savannah
10 Forest
1 Karakas
1 Dryad Arbor
1 Plains
Another added bonus of running Helm I see. I'll test it out as well as -1 Sphere of Safety +1 Gaddock Teeg in the board. I have a small Legacy scene growing here so I'm hoping to get more time in.
I know that Suppression Field was brought up and that perked my interest enough to try a build centered around it. In my testing so far I've been impressed enough to share it with everyone to get...
A major reason thievery exists is that it can be profitable. If you are willing to make his acquisition profitable, then you are supporting thievery, and have no ground to stand on if you are...
Wow, this takes me back circa 1996.
//Lands
8x Mountain
11x Forest
4x Strip Mine
//Creatures
4x Orcish Lumberjack
4x Erhnam Djinn
My reply from Star City Games. I think if enough people will write civil letters, I think there will be some changes ahead in the SCG field.
