I know, I know. But just hear me out. I know Recruiters are a big part of the deck. All I'm doing is trying dozens iterations of the deck without them to see how it performs before dumping six bills on four 1/1s.
You can grab the promos on eBay for less than $400Originally Posted by Michael Keller

Recruiters are going for $150 on Ebay now.
I think I will be playing this deck exclusively on MTGO. If recruiters drop below $100 again, I would consider picking up a set on paper though.
Weird question: Does anyone here have 1x FTV Ancient Tomb they are looking to sell on MTGO? I have 3 of the FTV versions and it will really bug me if I have mis-matching cards. This is the last thing I need before being able to complete the deck.
Dilemma: Buying the promo recruiter (Black Bordered and cool), only pbrolbem they'll be the only foil in the deck?
White bordered recuiter(wb and expensive as hell).
Could some one enlighten me on the lands match up(DarkDepths).
So, I could only find the promo foil ones. They look cool, but my OCD kicked in and now I'm in the process of foiling out as much as I can, unfortunately with a decent expense.
Some pieces are easy to foil and that should be enough for any tournament. Otherwise try to find the portal ones if your OCD is as bad as mine (see needing the 4th shiny ancient tomb above).
I've played the lands matchup a couple times. Obviously, if you get the moon down fast enough and preferably a revoker on the diamonds, it's lights out. Just be careful as some versions will run 1x graveyard shuffler (ie gaea's blessing) SB against mill strategies. They also usually run punishing fire and will hold them for your painters. Overall I think it's a good matchup.
Quick report: played this in a daily 2 days ago and went 3-1. Beat RUG with a turn 1-2 moon in both games. Beat death & taxes twice with bridge and multiple comboing off through hate, and lost to jund and early Lilianas/hymns. I played a version with 20 land, including 5 fetch and 1 basic plains and 3 etutors. Tried 3 white leyline and 1 Humility SB. Leyline would have got me there against Jund but didn't see them. I'm liking this strategy over trinisphere or thorns, as every time I have dropped a trinisphere it has slowed me down more than opponent. With leyline a, burn becomes a better matchup and storm can't win as long as you hold pyroblasts for their echoing truth or other bounce spell. I'm also playing enough white to hard cast it if I need to. Still play one canonist.

For the Jund/Junk/Pox/heavy discard decks, I'm rolling with Metrognome out of my board. Card is so damn good and swingy.
@ drude1:I know, i f i have 3card of a certain editio i must get the 4th of that same ed.So, I could only find the promo foil ones. They look cool, but my OCD kicked in and now I'm in the process of foiling out as much as I can, unfortunately with a decent expense.

@keller, just outf curiosity, how many gnomes?
Ps:My lgs owner hates me, when i ask do you have "x" card he says : where do you come up with all this old cards XD
It depends on the meta. With blue in check with all of our Blast effects, I'm focusing on punishing those aforementioned archetypes.
I'm also going Mono-Red. Personal preference.
I would do this too, but then I'd have to find fuggin gnome tokens...so I'll pass.
OT: why i think that gnome tokens will be more expensive than metrognome?
Also has anyone tried to stream on twitch his/her/it matches?
Also is anyone here playing mtgo with the nick Utley26?, he's the one havi the most successes with painter on modo.
I'll be happy to stream/record if someone will lend me the deck online :-P
My mtgo account consists of m11 chaff and that's it

I have been looking for someone streaming this deck as well. Joe Lossett played this deck on his stream one time, but I think he gave the deck to someone.
I am putting this together on MTGO (Just need one more FTV ancient tomb). Once I finish it, I will attempt to stream at least a few times a week. However, I will be quite inexperienced.
Utley26 is Kap'n Cook.
Joe was borrowing it from a friend.
@now: Thanks i didn't know that
What are the pros and cons for running monored or whitesplash? Which matcups get better or worse?
No offense man, but the front page covers that. Just like every other front page in this forum.
Hit the previous pages button... Probably looks like "<". All your dreams will come true!

Anyone going to Bazaar of Moxen in Annecy, this May?
Hollywood I love you and your ideas but I find it tough to see how that gnome helps. Aren't there better token generators to use? And doesn't koth win when faceing off against lilianna and discard decks?

…no matter how much you think you love somebody, you’ll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
That coming from a guy testing Imperial Painter "sans Recruiters"? Think about it
