[Deck] Imperial Painter

[Michael Keller]

Game 2, we grind it out, I get stuck on two mountains but am able to cast a bridge and manage to draw one and two drops but no lands, I have the combo in play and he has revoked the grindstone. I get out powder keg and miss the ‘may’ in the wording missing the trigger while the judge is standing over my shoulder, no biggy but he berates me about reading the cards. I am SDTing keeping any three drops out of my hand as best I can and just when the bridge is being raised enough, I get the final land, have a keg party at two killing the revoker and activate grindstone.

Wouldn't the activated ability of Keg at two send your Painter(s) packing along with the Revoker, thus nullifying the Grindstone kill here? Or am I missing something...

You are correct but I have a welder out also and I simply brought my painter back.

There is none but I have had it asked a couple of times if grindstone fails because there is no graveyard.

No, its ability checks the color of the two cards it flips, and then either resolves or continues due to this condition. RiP is brilliant because it allows you to still mill eldrazi with Stone.

Working on a new Painter list; looking forward to slinging 'Blasts again!

I really... REALLY... Encourage anyone who is coming back to, starting anew, or wanting to innovate to play Jack's 60 MD first!!! The deck is fine tuned, tested and proven in the current meta.

I think this forum needs to get back to the "core" deck (i.e. a lot of the main page) and begin discussing flex slots and SB strategies.

Where is that 60 (+15) to be found? I am in a middle of building this deck, just about 10 cards (magus of the moon, ancient tomb, REB's and some random cards) shy.

As an aside: the front page could use some clean up. All the right info is there but requires some scrolling back and forth to find what your looking for. Not sure how to approach it though.


But most common things people are looking for is: overview and deck lists. We should have an R and Rw list right towards the top.

Welcome back Hollywood! I am looking forwards to your new list!

To others, do you guys find surgical extraction or extirpate a problem afterboard?

I have been calling it Enlightened Painter for a bit. It's actually in my deck list on Salvation. I still play it differently though and have my Tutors in the side. I like to Moon game one against my Meta. There are a free decks where I want Tutor over Moon and normally I take out moons and put them in its place for speed.

On RIP. If RIP is in the table all it does is make Grindstone read like this:
Target player exiles the top two cards of his or her library. If both cards share a color, repeat this process.

Explaines it all really.

Lastly, I want am loving Bridge main. Playing against a mate who has borrowed my deck a few times, game one I drop a bridge and he looks me dead in the eye and asks "Did you pre sideboard?" I laugh and tell him no, he swears and I smile as his Progenifish does not a thing.

Gotcha. Didn't see that.

Dipping back into all sorts of fun stuff! I'm working on a few lists that are configured in various ways.

I just miss locking people out with Blood Moons early.

7-2 at SCG Seattle with enlightened painter. Picked up a foil Russian painter and summer mountain.

Lost to dredge nut draws and close RUG game.

Beat RUG, BUG, sneak show, reanimator, turbo lands, punishing jund, and Belcher.

I played the same 75 that's been going around except 3sphere was jitte due to high elves and death and taxs build.

I finished just shy of top 16 on breakers.

Looking really good! Is that primer going to be ported over to these forums when its complete?

Also noticed you live in Utrecht. Wonderful city! I stayed there as an exchange student for one winter.

edit. The Strawberry Shortcake decklist has 4x Island instead of 4x Ancient Tomb
