The Aluren that he never drew!Originally Posted by swoop
I'm guessing give it a week (for SCG Premiums)?
I am convinced that WotC is "dumbing" the game because of all the stupid posts they come across on MTG-related forums
I dislike this damn Hive Mind deck. It's essentially just another S&T with an extra playset of 'S&T'-combo-piece that is 6 to cast. There are 10 win-cons (were those pacts ever played?) that require the HM to work... So, rather than S&T being the engine, HM becomes a middleman to either S&T or Grim Monolith (or being a 6-drop engine itself) to run pacts!?
Funny thing is.. this deck just made more sheeples, following the Energy Field shenanigans.
PS. I hope this is not too soon... What is happening with the playmats? I am still keen to participate in this 'The Source Fundraiser' for 1 and have it shipped down under.
Oh, FFS!
Well, as Barber said post board he brings in a lot, and storm pilots are going to assume you have FoW main. I don't think he would have failed horribly.

We have a Hive Mind player in our meta that actually does pretty well though his list isn't as good as this one, but it shows the power of that little combo well.
Hive Mind can be really dangerous. It just casts that thing and it's pretty much over right there. There's not too many decks that do anything about a Show and Tell other than Emrakul or something else irrelevant. Not to mention playing a Show and Tell against one of these decks is kind of scary.
I can totally understand how it got so far. It dodged some decks with heavy counters obviously, but it's still a scary fast combo.
SCG is doing archtypes for all 1180 lists, but isn't typing any lists.
They have their invitational this week, which means 2+ weeks before you get the archtypes.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Not mention I'm sure they will butcher half the names.

Maybe my words were unclear - my disregard for Show and Tell decks include this one. The Pacts are dead cards yeah.
It would seem that someone is claiming Hive Mind is the new deck to beat, as you all are in such a hurry to bash it. This deck has been around for a while, it comes from another format and some people found the combo cool and tried to brew some Legacy lists. Some friends of mine did, a few months ago.
An then we have one guy who had a Mental Misstep-proof combo and certain amount of luck in a meta packed with Misstep hysteria and aggro decks. Well, good for him, it's clear that this won't be the new deck to beat. Maybe we can all learn a lesson from this. You know, perhaps, not every deck that make it to the top8 at a SCG Open or even at a GP is broken, and maybe not every player that tops is the next Bobby Fischer. Maybe.
We tried to copy the Source, but then we realized we're spanish
If my post results dumb or offensive, it's probably just me miserably failing at being ironic in a foreign language
I just want to point out that this isn't the first time. Patron of the Akki took down the first one.
The Hive Mind is far from a "Deck to Beat". It needs to pull a few more wins than that. Dream Halls was clamored to be put in there just a bit ago and we all see how that went. Once people got used to it, it failed.
