If the rumours are true and (Magic) Twitter is sinking, then why not rekindle The Source a bit.
My current tweak of UR Delver is built on the experience that people are trying to beat us with...
I like Hymn a lot - it improves Miracles and Eldrazi matchup in particular (beyond obvious qualities against combo). I am also not happy with Bayou, so I only play 1, whereas most other lists contain...
Hello there.
While it seems, that Grixis is the most preferred Delver approach, I think BUG makes better sense in a world of Counterbalances and Chalice of the Voids, amongst other things.
I...
you got mail
@KobeBryan: I agree that Thoughtseize is better than Hymn if Batterskull is in the hand at the right moment and if they don't have Brainstorm in response. However, Grip is an unconditional answer,...
After having negative percentages against Esper Deathblade both in a few tournaments and testing, I have decided to try a setup of 3 Decay, 2 Disfigure, 2 Sylvan Library, 3 Hymn. With 2 Krosan Grips...
I came to this thread to ask for your opinion on a minor idea, it turns out that you were on the subject anyway, so great.
For the record, I have 2 Spell Pierce in the flex slots, and yes, it is...

Hello thread.
I have been playing UWR Standstill more or less since GP Strasbourg, usually with some success. I have tried a number of different tweaks and have so, I think, learned stuff during...
If you find yourself in the facinity of Denmark on this weekend of November (23th 24th) you should drop by Ballerup Super Arena.
For the facebook people:...
@Yawgnor: Yeah Volraths Stronghold resurrect Goyf, so unless the pilot is running Explosives, it should be strictly better considering the mainboard. It changes considering the sideboard however....
I haven't been reading the thread I will admit, and actually find Shardless BUG to be a bit too clunky and unimpressive. Nevertheless, I wanted to try it out for myself - better than to rely on...
@Hex Parasite: Do you think it is competetive to sink 10 mana into the Parasite in order to get a Marit Lage? It's a beater, but...
I like to keep it simple and efficient, and I think the chance of failure is quite big if one tries to be too linear. Below is a suggestion towards an all-round good list, that offers many...

As always, contextuality is important.
What is Elspeth doing in the deck? If it is jumping Geist of St Traft or Mirran Crusader, then it means damage. In other decks it mostly supplies blockers. I...
D&T is definitely a bad matchup, and a really underrated deck with tier 1 potential. Its pretty popular in my meta, but it also takes a lot of skill to play optimally, so its not for everyone. Dread...
Well, it's not an order ;) But I have played without, because it is unnecessary and in tough matchups like Jund, it is a liability by being an almost dead draw. If I am playing Team America, then I...
Don't rule Stifle out too fast. On paper, there is obvious potential problems with the tap-out of Hymn (I don't run Sinkholes), but in play this is a minor problem. I have been running a list, for 12...
Thanks for reminding me of that list Kiblast. It is, among other things, interesting that he gets away with such a large amount of basics.
How do you (everyone) feel about running Inquisition...
I tried cutting Snapcasters and adding Delvers plus making room for 3 Ponders. It felt good! Not having to reach 3 mana is sweet. Besides that, I tried out 2 Pithing Needle main, since Deathrite...
I think your rubrication of Stoneforge Mystic as non-tempo is rather silly. The so-called tempo is delivered by the Stifle, Daze and Wasteland package. Apart from that, a threat is needed to...
Hello old thread. I have been having some recent success with Esper Tempo, and I feel really good about the list. That said, there is always room for improvement.
I am playing Stoneforge Mystic,...
Great article!
I enjoyed Cifkas demolition of the midrange Pro Tour, and you put into words nicely why. Rather than being just a constructed and optimized version of Limited play, the combo decks...
I haven't tried it myself, but one of the local BUG pioneers is trying them out, and seems to be happy. I have some doubts: As graveyard hate it is slow, and against Dredge useless almost.
As...
