I saw that and thought you'd be pleased :-P

I like the 21 lands because the mulligans with SitD can be harsh when you get 1-landers, that said I'm bad at deck building so get give us your thoughts when you get some play testing in :-).
...

Also, in my minimal playtesting this week I found Mox Opal can be a pain to get online early without the 4 total artifact lands, just FYI :-)

I really agree with that lol! The way I see it, this version gives up it's very solid combo matchup to strengthen it's Aggro matchup significantly. It's a meta-game version of the U/W we normally...

No lie, whenever I test Shot in the Dark (Can we at least do like a SotD thing for shortness?) the acceleration is bonkers, I absolutely love it. Artifact land, Top, Mox Opal turn 1 is just my...

Piloting this deck is like piloting a semi-truck strapped to a thruster the size of Saturn, except the thruster is really just a celestially sized steel can packed with enough explosive force to test...

If you want discussion about the Tezzeret all-combo list, I'm playtesting it more tonight, but I think it feels strong.

One does not simply put Planeswalkers into play....

:-)

I've been considering the Tez list because all the acceleration looks like a ton of fun, but I don't really want to stray from my U/W basics and Moat....

Jeff could you enlighten me a bit on why...

So, check it out, the Tezzeret version of our list made last night to Top 4!! Go team?

On the topic of carefully using Top with land light hands, sometimes you can also just go balls-to-the-wall with a mulligan to 6 against Reanimator like so:

Top
Flooded Strand
Counterbalance...

What this man says is true, that's why S&T doesn't play Planeswalkers of it's own and why Eureka decks can play a 1-of Nicol Bolas Planeswalker.

I run 22 in 2 colors with only 7 nonbasics not including fetches. I feel if you pump up the basic count running 22 is safe enough when it comes to hitting 4 mana turn 4.

I am totally in agreement with you Teknique, and thanks for the support! I'll just keep playing, and with more experience I'll win more games :-D

Yay Hanni returns!

Sidenote, I'm cutting the Cliques in my side to try something closer to Matt. Is Metamorph actually good enough?

Thanks Mark! I had no experience with the Lands match-up and with this deck I can't really afford to not know what's going on :-)

Humility felt really dead, and the Cliques are certainly great...

@Matt what were you siding out in those match-ups?

Second game I attempted to do that, but I was scared of exploration more than his later plays which was probably incorrect.

Maybe I should just side Ankh of Mishra against Lands.....

To finally get to your questions Matt:

I actually agree with the Relic assessment upon further thought. But you have to remember when you run less than 3 colors, EE + Academy runes is a lot less...

The problem is it's only relevant against Maverick, which it's supposedly insane against. But as you can see I never sided it in because it never hit anything more than Pithing Needle could.

The...

You know how I feel about the 3rd color, I hate playing 4 Tundra's as is. Waste is just so frustrating when you're trying to resolve Moat, more Basics always feels good to me. Also you can run an...

Except for those Brainstorms eh? :-) And not boarding out Force like every match.

Here is the report I promised, took 5 hours to get through all my notes. Let me know what you guys think!



Actually, I played 4 rounds against Stoneblade and did well in those match-ups this...

Just finished my second ever legacy event at SCG Cincinnati playing U/W Thopters. I've been basing my lists off recommendations and ideas from sdematt -tips hat- and the rest of the guys in the...

I was at SCG Open Cincinnati this past weekend playing our deck (The detailed report will be up later) and I didn't find Revival to be super blowout like I'd hoped but I had trouble figuring out how...
