That's me :DOriginally Posted by spector14
No, on a more serious note... I'd like to hear, what your thoughts are on the G-probe are, since i haven't heard of that many people doing it :D
While playing mono red in my meta main board bridge was the nuts draw many games. that and a revoker to turn off utility creatures. To that merrit I also keep 2 mainboard in enlightened painter.
Gat probe. I like it if i have say 2 SOL Lands, a painter, a grind stone, a reb, and a monkey. Any other time i think i rather have a reb. Knowing its safe isnt as good in my mind as having the ability to stop them from stoping me. if you catch my drift
Well.... Sometimes I'm missing a Lightning Bolt, but since I've changed my playstyle accordingly, the probe - for me at least - feels soooooo much better... It let's you cycle your library (among other things) and letting you know, what the OP has in hand....
Yeah, sometimes it's just completely dead, but that's a rare case for me :P
I dunno, seems to me like a strictly personal card choice. Highly dependent on play style, GProbe has its advantages and disadvantages all around.
For sure it has. No question. But with probe, I'm more focusing on landing a "safe" Blood Moon or going for a quick combo... But I feel that it's the beauty of this deck.... The exact same 75, can be played in such a variety of ways, that I'm not enterily sure I can exploit all of 'em :D
Mcbain nice work. I'll add your result in the shortcake section on the front page later tonight. If you write a report I'll link that as well
Yeah Utrecht is a great town. Moved here over five years ago from stateside and haven't looked backLooking 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
And the website hosting the article has a bug with its deck editor, Ancient Tomb doesn't show up so I replaced it with basics. Just a proxy.
As a side note, Jack's list made it into the French TCG magazine "Lotus noir" (black lotus) issue 156 of Feb/March this year:

[Edit: added translation]
This deck is entirely based on the card Painter's servant. The goal is to have it in play with Grindstone (which you then simply need to activate to win by milling the opponent's deck entirely). The real strength of this deck is to abuse blue hate cards (blue being the dominating color of Legacy) by maindecking cards which are usually played in sideboards... If your adversary does not play blue, you simply need to name "blue" with Painter's servant to fix that problem. The rest of the deck is mainly made of tutors, mana producers, and especially disruptive cards such as Blood moon and Ensnaring bridge.

Probe has promise, but I fear it can bite in longer games. On top of the damage from Tomb, it's going to hurt you if the other guy is on a fast beat down path.
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.
I hope your afterlife is filled with eternal torment.
Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
I'm ready to start painting again!
Glad to hear it man. Are you going to be making it down to the MD/VA area to play?
Congrats Jack!
About Gitaxian Probe, the info it provides is valuable however I am not sure the info it provides is worth the two life and the increased difficulty to properly mulligan bc you are essentially only seeing six of your seven cards. And since proper mulling with the deck is such a huge aspect of success, I'm not sure over a large event with many rounds that you will see the advantage. Just my two sense.

…no matter how much you think you love somebody, you’ll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
Probably not that far down anytime soon, but definitely at the May event in Binghamton. Caffrey's events too, possibly.
Thi is my firts time playing Strawberry Shortcake / Enlightened Painter, i "tested" at one of the local lgs. The tournament vas very small (unsanctioned) 6 people including the owner, the deck were the following.
1) Lands (DD)
2) Shortcake
3) Elves
4) Miracles
5)Goblin
6) UWR delver
My match went like this:
Uwr delver 0 -Painter 2
Game 1: i stabilize at 2 an i combo ftw, he didn't see any lighting bolt
Game 2: Back and forth trade spells, but at the last moment i combo ftw
Lands(DD) 2 - Painter 0
(I never had any experience with this deck)
Game 1: Ensaring bridge 1st turn, he is able in the long term to get a living wish and Destroy it
Game 2: I got stuck to 2 lands.
Goblin 0 - Painter 2
Game 1 : he beat the crap out of me, i cast bridge whic buys enough time to assemble the combo
Game 2: I'm able to get a ratchet bomb to 3 and destroy his lords, the i kill the remaining creature with firebolt and combo ftw
Ps: I used Kap'n Cook List
PPS: i own 995ì% of the deck, i miss only the recruiter T.T
There's no shame in missing the Recruiters. I'm going to get burned at the stake for saying I have no intention on obtaining them or playing them in my new list(s).
How is it Imperial Painter then?
Mono-Red Painter sans the Recruiters.
I know Imperial Recruiter is an iconic card in this archetype. I'm just tinkering around with iterations that don't require it.
In all serialness, is this going to be a sort of aggro/combo deck if IR isn't going to be gluing the deck together?
Hahah Jandax :D
Well, against a fast clock - yeah sure - they may not be that great, but heck... I'm feeling what you're saying...
I card i really miss in the deck though - is Ensnaring Bridge.... Freakin' hell, I missed that card yesterday... 2x SneakyShow :O :O
@ Michael Keller: No recruiters?, That's a bold choice.
Ps: terrible pun i know
You punted pretty hard
