[Deck] Sneak and Show

[blindspotxxx]

This seems REALLY bad... How are you gonna cast Loam if that's what they give you with Intuition? Why would you play clunky slow spot removal when you have access to Pyroclasm?

Couldn't agree more lol JPA what's your current list I'm curious :)

How do you battle the UWR Infestation?

Punishing SneakShow

Run fewer cantrips but run Intutions main. SB into 1 Burnwillows+1 PFire+1 Loam.
Intuition into that and burn out all their dorks to clear the way, then sculpt the godhand and go off.

why is this even a discussion....loam has no business being in a deck with emrakul unless you enjoy shuffling.

JPA is right, you could use pyroclasm... But Why not just use emrakul....

if you find that you are inconsistent, use some flex spots for intuition. What does pfire do for you in any of your match ups? nothing... it changes you game plan to a more grindy inferior strategy. Pfire loam is a tier 2 deck.... We don't even play green... and we run blood moons....like wtf....

Mods, can we get a username change... FTW ---> FTL

I am still testing for GP Paris. My list will probably look similar to the one I won the GPT with, even though I might cut the Blood Moons to add Sulfur Elemental and an additional Defense Grid.

Defense Grid + Pyroclasm are a pretty good combo against UWR. It's still a close matchup, so try to win game 1 where they have more dead cards.

How much fun is this deck? Is it amusing to see the look on their face when you drop a giant monster and they have no answer?

I'm sorta tired of playing "fair" decks and I don't want to play UW control anymore.

Its not the most fun deck ive ever played but its close to the top. Its definatly top choice out of the decks to beat section and furthermore in the established decks.

As a reference i enjoy playing hermit druid in edh. Tradewind survival when it was legal in legacy. Im brewing dark depths combo cause the current builds are too controlish for me. Ive played white stax and team america for a long time.


Elves is way to much tapping untapping shenanigans.
Ant requires too much math
Tes evern more
High tide is durdle city
Omni fizzle falls short and is completly unrewarding when you do pull it off.

Fair decks are for suckers. If you arnt doing something busted in legacy you might as well play standard.

That's pretty much the mentality I have when looking at this deck.

[Technicolor Mage]

Deck is loads of fun to play as most people like cheating in shit.

As others have said, Legacy is about doing broken shit....this is broken shit to the max

[rockout]

If you enjoy knowing you have complete control over the outcome with tight play and piloting a finely tuned engine, then yes it's fun. Sometimes your hand is force, blue card, lotus petal, show and tell, double mana land, and emrakul with irrelevant back up card on the play game one, there is no greater satisfaction than the god hand. Also, winning games from an almost unwinnable board state is nice.

Yes this is so true. Really frustrating for the opponent.

Just finished a 48 man tournament today got to top 8 but got murdered by a friend playing Elves.

Question, do you guys side out your spell pierces for Swan Songs for he match up or Spell Pierces are fine to stop Natural Order.

Spell Pierce is a good defense against discard early on, but after the Elves player has ramped up a bit
it becomes irrelevant. Problem with Swan Song on the other hand is that it's not good to use early and
is only for emergencies.

How do you guys SB for the Elves matchup?

[JPA]

Congrats on your finish!

Swan Song is definitely better than Spell Pierce against Elves. The additional clock is irrelevant, since our deck is not attrition-based and has access to Pyroclasm, they will never win via Beatdown (without Glimpse).

You can side out Probes, Misdirection, Intuition and Spell Pierce (even though the points you made pro Spell Pierce are very valid, so I won't blame you if you leave them in; Christopher Brunner never boards them out vs Elves, for example) in favor of stuff like Grafdigger's Cage, Swan Song, Pyroclasm and bounce.

Take a look at the bottom of the primer to see my approach vs Elves.

a 5-1 player don't know about karakas trick

the power of this deck alone...

[GoblinZ]

Poor sneakshow player on the scg stream...

he doesn't know he can activate sneak attack eot to play around karakas...It seems he should have won the game if he attacks with eldrazi, he loses to himself...I cannot imagine how he could make 5-1 before...

Holy shit those games were such farces. Leyline of "Let's turn mulligans against a degenerate combo deck into lottery" in action. Holy shit.

I saw it... He even FoW-ed a non-hellbent Infernal Tutor.

With some more Legacy-knowledge, he might be at 7-0 like Dylan Jones, who should be able to double-draw into Top 8.

[deviant]

That guy highlighted wonderfully how SneakShow is "legacy for dummies".
"Not familiar with the format? Not interested in learning it? Dredge too difficult for you? We have great news for you!"

The sneak players that have not gone through with lobotomy really can be scary as fuck :/
(this probably should be in the drunken thread too)

Watching Round 8 game 2 right now makes me think ANT is for dummies, too.

Edit: I also find it highly ignorant to call someone lobotomized based on his knowledge of the Legacy format and MTG-rules.

[Technicolor Mage]

A lot of errors on camera, not just for SnS as we have been highlighting. Not sure how a SnS player doesn't know this trick, it is in our primer after all ;) hahahaha

Yeah, I also saw that, that Ant player sucks...game 2 was a farce...game 3 I really cannot understand why he could have won faster while he chose to give his opponent at least another turn

based on my experience, storm players always sucks at scg...to be honest, I even don't think BBD is an expert at strom...

this guy must be one of those unskilled trust fund babies that everyones complaining about... I always wondered if they actually existed or people were just hating....
