How do you address the fact that people packing their sideboard with graveyard hate significantly hurts this deck? Any deck with graveyard hate in addition to storm hate in the 75 seems like an...
wcm8 I'm confused why you would consider Dark Confidant to be part of the "blazingly fast tempo oriented" strategy and Delver to be "middle of the road". That seems quite backwards to me.
Tempo...
That list looks a lot more like a bugstill/bug control deck than a Team America list. Team America is three things: Tempo, Disruption, Beats. Your deck has a lot of control elements (6 walkers, deed)...
This is quickly going to spiral into a topic that's covered by a sticky at the top of the page. So I will attempt to not digress.
I agree with you that she is powerful--this is pretty much...
I'm not convinced she's a four-of in most of the decks she'll weasel her way into. The only reason Jace was a 4 of in a lot of decks was because he's blue and a lot of those decks used him as one of...
I'd probably take out the bounce-lands. Getting one of those wasted is a huge hit to your tempo and this deck is already slow as it is.
Yeah I meant of the veil. Edited, thanks.
Yeah, I dropped Jace and I don't miss him for a second. Liliana has similar flexibility for a lesser cost. In a deck that plays daze and wasteland,...
I won't argue against the fact that tarmogoyf is better against aggro than delver. However, I think the boarded removal suite of 4 dismember, 3 ghastly demise, 3 submerge, and 2 liliana along with...
I edited in my list.
Clique is still good as a 1-2 of. It still has all the same things going for it: it's blue, evasive, high power, and disrupts. I would always include at least one for threat...
2x jace got the boot for 2x liliana in my list. Also dropped green. Best direction this deck's gone in years.
This post is painfully thin. You can do better (especially in the DTB forum). Verbal...
she's absolutely bananas in team america. liliana the game-state preserver.
I agree with you, but use capitalization next time, please. Thanks. -zilla
Why exactly are we condemning a strategy that's functionally similar to plenty of other decks? It may not seem as optimal as painter's servant + grindstone, but it's certainly a 2 card instant win...
Here's where I'm at with this deck:
// MD
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Polluted Delta
3 Tropical Island
3 Underground Sea
1 Volcanic Island
2 Island
You're calling someone ELSE a blockhead? Why do you even post here if the entire MTGS (note: the premiere internet legacy community) is a bunch of whiny idiots that can't hold intelligent...
Just a note, not knowing the name of the store you just won power at makes you look really, REALLY bad.
Yeah it's not online yet.
Julian...PDiddy isn't human. I've played him probably 10+ times and he beats up on me every single time regardless of his deck. Thresh, Goblins, Zoo, doesn't matter. He...
Yeah, I realize I shouldn't have asked it and in hindsight understand how retarded it was. I acknowledged that. His response was unwarranted though.
Yeah, Julian, I meant total cost. I'm having a series of retarded moments today, especially considering I already knew the interaction between SS and 3sphere.. I just failed to remember it before I...
Oh, duh moment. For some reason forgot replicate counted towards total CMC.
How do you figure Shattering Spree costs 3 mana to kill trinsiphere + 2 other artifacts? Would it not be 5? Or am I missing something obvious here..
edit: My bad, this was pretty obvious.
If you play xantid swarm, then you absolutely have a lot more game against LoS than lists that don't (aka mine and most other TES players'), and I wouldn't recommend Silence over Chant. I still...
A turn 1 lackey hand is at best equivalent to an average Dredge or the fastest of zoo wins. And in practice, the vast majority of t1 lackey hands do not kill turn 3.
You could include goblins in that list if you want, however turn 3 goblin wins are a lot less common than zoo's & dredges, and wastelands/ports (not that they're as widely played anymore) are even...
