Last weekend I won the Oklahoma Land Run Legacy event with Strawberry Shortcake. Before getting into the deck and the games, I want to compliment Game HQ on a weekend of expertly-run events. There...
Three months, two card changes, and one ban announcement later I squeak into 16th place on breakers in yet another large Legacy tournament with Strawberry Shortcake, this time in the 3/19/2023 MTGO...
Perhaps the deck has evolved or its players have figured out how to approach the Painter matchup, and I haven't played any games since EW to know. However current metagame data shows Painter with a...
The threats can become unboltable, but everything except Dungeoneer and large Walking Ballistas starts out boltable. It is important to keep your life total high in case you have to reassemble the...
I made 16th/468 at Eternal Weekend North America with this list. As a general personal preference, and especially in a large event where people will play pet decks or weird decks just for fun, I like...

4 Mountain, Fetches
2 Plateau
1 Great Furnace
4 Urza's Saga
4 Ancient Tomb
2 City of Traitors
2 Lotus Petal
1 SSG, Mox Opal

2 City of Traitors
3 Urza's Saga
5 Fetch, Mountain
2 Plateau
1 Great Furnace
3 Lotus Petal
1 Simian Spirit Guide
The Relic definitely goes out. With Wrenn no longer pressuring decks full of X/1 creatures, I want to play more Wails which probably means cutting some number of TKS. A third Maze might be a good...
I played the following Cg list at Eternal Weekend, going 5-4 in the main event (excluding a bye) and 3-0 in a subsequent side event:
Maindeck:
4 Cloudpost, Glimmerpost
3 Thespian's Stage
2...
Regarding the one-sidedness of Cg matchups, if you look back in this thread at my tournament reports you'll see a lot of 2-0 wins. This is because there are a lot of matchups where the opponent can't...
I played in the main event at GP Atlanta with this Cg Karn/Golos list:
4 Cloudpost, 4 Glimmerpost, 3 Thespian's Stage, 2 Vesuva
7 Forest
2 Maze of Ith
1 Karakas, Eye of Ugin, Bojuka Bog,...
16th at the SCG Classic: http://www.starcitygames.com/decks/132102
Some interesting numbers in the maindeck and card choices in the sideboard. Can we get a tournament report?
Personally I would prefer maindeck Krosan Grip for this purpose since it is better against Sneak Attack and counterspells. With 4 Wails and 3-4 Needles, however, you're already better equipped to...
Be wary of adding green cards. You'll have to also add more green sources to consistently cast them which cuts into the rest of the deck. Chalice on 1 is very bad, but I would play Ratchet...
I played in the large legacy event at SCG Con two weekends ago with the following Cg list:
4 Cloudpost, Glimmerpost, Vesuva
7 Forest
2 Blast Zone
1 Stage, Karakas, Bog, Eye, Chasm, Tabernacle...
The Primeval Titan versions of 12 Post lean much less on Candelabra or Tabernacle than the C/g (i.e. mostly colorless, some green) builds that have been having the most success lately. Basically...
I took the 8-Forest, 3-Wail version to FNM today, also swapping Promised End for Butcher of Truth. I faced Storm twice so it was a bad week to cut a Wail. Not having Promised End to cast for 9 mana...
I'm the same way with Facebook so I'm not in the 12 Post group there. I wonder if there's a way to automatically assemble posts from Discord and FB and put them in a digest here.
I would not...
That was a good podcast. Thanks for the shout-outs.
I got some Mirri's Guile's a few days ago to see if they could be a Top replacement for GW builds. The plan is to swap 4 Tops from an old...
I would have suggested cutting a Warping Wail since TKS is also good against combo, but I knew how much you like 4x Wails. I agree with keeping From Beyond if at all possible.
Games like that are exactly why I put TKS in the sideboard and one of the many reasons I've stayed with Promised End. I view TKS as a tool for specific matchups rather than a general-purpose beater,...
I used to play Butcher of Truth when I started with one of your lists and was skeptical of Great Distortion as well. I'm not going back unless there's a Painter resurgence, which would be the only...
I asked a judge about it last weekend and it does revert to being a Mirror.
From Beyond stays in if you expect there to be long stretches of turns where neither player does much and/or you...
