no love for raven's crime? I don't play intuition (went with malacoda's old style) but I figure you could try 1 copy, I believe it could be part of an intuition pile.
I've considered it, but you'd have to include urborg or up the number of black sources to make it work to its maximum potential, neither of which I've tried to do within my list or have any idea how to include. I think it's a fine card, it just probably can't work in a build trying to support white.Originally Posted by movingtonewao
oblivion stone sideboard, and cursed totem maindeck? I think id swap the two?
either way, looking forward to seeing some video.
I also agree with you, that the heavier white list will have a hard time supporting Crime.
That may well be right, I like having the mainboard insurance against Scavenging Ooze decks but the Maverick matchup is good enough anyway and elves has viridian shaman for totem so it's sort of irrelevant.
seconded. cursed totem is win-more for most g1s. videos soon please :)
Quick question: How much does the land deck costs to build on mtgo ?
Its around 800 tix, depending on where you look for prices.
On a sidenote, youtube isn't letting me upload any of the videos, does anybody know a better video hosting site for this sort of thing?
Here's the first video I've made, I made it pretty late/early so I was a bit tired and played a little sloppily as a result and trailed off when I was talking more than usual.

Also, I've played two dailies that I didn't think to record, I could record replays if anybody is interested, although I personally hate watching videos of replays.
Went 2-2 in the first one, losing to timing out against countertop miracles and to food chain, beat burn twice. Went 3-1 in the second one, losing to land tax counterthopters because of a series of mulligans, beating burn twice and maverick.

was just watching game 2.
you had a very good hand, including 2x chalice and 2/then3/ exploration. But you played thalia?
id rather play exploration, chalice 1, and then at a later time play crucible. the chalice blocks surgical which is your greatest enemy there. it also stops the spellpierce you talk about.
nice vids !! Can't wait to see more
watched your video. the 2 chalices were awesome lol I wish I could draw hands like you.
<=== Shamelessly selfpromoting part 2 of Ghent Report being up
Lands placed 2nd at SCG Kansas City today. Final was pretty sad. Game 1 is a game loss to lands as he forgot to sideboard? Game 3 a jace lands and he is fatesealed out of the game.
So, Jace: if it is such a problem, Im thinking of dropping black for red. While I would lose tar pit from the main, (and bob from the SB), I would gain punishing fire (MD or SB, not sure at this point), and grove of the burnwillows.
Hell, with all of the tutors, I could potentially cut a Tropical Island for a single grove, and between that and the Diamonds, we could have a reasonable answer to Jace.
Again, just brainstorming here. I would love to hear your thoughts.
I'd just like to point out that tar pit is a more than capable jacekiller. Unblockable land that can redirect damage to jace.
Or just run pithing needle out the board.
Cuthberthecat got 2nd in KC.

I'd rather play another Jace killer in the person of Oblivion Stone / Worm Harvest / Pithing needle instead of that Cursed Totem. Cursed Totem is only really usefull against Maverick, sometimes Elves and others fringe matchups.
As for dropping black, it is like unimaginable for me. You need those Bobs in order to fight grave hate. Punishing fire doesn't help us against hate, and only improves an already very good matchup (creatures.deck).
Well done cuthbertthecat, I'd love to read a report when you have time and any potential deck changes you may have in mind.
Also, I enjoyed the video, please keep it up.
Report is up, hope you enjoy it. I should be making a few more videos in the next several days, I'll post them when they're done.
