    Re: [Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    I'm really unsure why you would want or consider K'rrik. Griselbrand is a tool to draw cards/deck before deciding how you intend to win. K'rrik just becomes modestly big for an awful lot of effort,...

    Re: [Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    This is my take on the basic build, but its on the traditional slant. I've not included Collective Brutality as i'm unsure how good it is now, although as an enabler it is still valuable.

    Re: [Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    I’m unsure, part of the reason I’ve been on TinFins is the believe of many that DRS was an effective answer to graveyard strategies. Without several counters, or two active DRS’s, or a fast clock as...

    Re: [Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    I’ve found 4x Careful Study with 4x Reanimate to be the fastest UB build (12 land + 2 Mox, 10 Reanimate, 6 discard). Unfortunately there is a real cost; a less reliable same turn kill when you often...

    Re: [Deck] TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    thanks, good deck choice for the field, but a lot of luck also.

    I can’t find a perfect mix, but was happy with 8 + 4 GP. If I was more familiar with the current meta I’d be on 4 CT and 2 TS. ...

    I’d not played the deck in a while, made misplays, got lucky on occasion, and should have taken different lines at various points. The GP was very diverse (ok, a fair volume of reliable family...

    Re: Sinkhole in legacy

    Stifle
    Sinkhole
    Snapcaster
    Orb

    It’s still not great, ran tombstalker and dreadnought as win-con.

    Re: Bob Depths

    Petal seams ill suited, it would require a further cut but +2 lands and 3 Mox Diamond gives you additional utility lands and reusable ramp. Add a Loam and those additional lands start to really work...

    Pendrill Vale have them, and I assume Tom will be doing a full breakdown. Top 8, NOT in order (as I don't know it)

  13. Re: Wasteland in first turn on the draw, is always a bad move?

    I generally play tempo decks.

    If I don't have a good turn 1 play, eg. DRS or Delver, and my opponent does nothing with his turn one land (ie: no DRS, Ponder, Vial, etc); I'd probably Wasteland. ...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (BUG Delver)

    Very true, but 1-2 Pierce/Flusterstorm + 4 Stifle allows you an Island go Turn 1, into a proactive Goyf / Sinkhole Turn 2 (or the ultimate 12/12 trample). The follow up Snap Stifle / Sinkhole just...

    Re: [Deck] Team America (BUG Delver)

    I've always found this strange. If I'm taking your land, I don't care how many cards you have in hand.

    Have played Stifle + Sinkhole with 2-3 Snapcaster before, lots of fun with a cute...

    Re: No European Legacy GPs in 2017

    I had the exact same thought. Then read the card again. I'm pretty sure you only get to choose each mode once.

    Of that there is no dispute. He does however play very well with Lilly (madness) and is safer when you board 1/2 reanimate 1/2 man-plan keeping the 8/15 drops.
