[Deck] 12 Post

[Rock Lee]

There's nothing like playing the mirror match against someone whose Trops are Beta and whose other cards are foil to make you feel inadequate. I don't know if he posts here or not, but my hat is off to that guy.

I know of multiple people with full foil decks, a few with beta trops, and one with summer trops. The enthusiasm is quite exciting.

I am currently working toward foiling this deck. It's actually quite cheap with the exception of Misty Rainforest.

Going to test Kozilek's Predator. Could fit my playstyle, seems to fit the curve and provides chump blockers / ramp... Did anyone do some testing already?

I forgot about Brainstorm, that's a fun one too. I'm going for the Conspiracy ones, since it's my favorite art.

Sauce will like this: I've reluctantly revisited cavern of souls. While I don't believe it's required, there's a growing amount of aggressive FOW decks (food chain, infect, UR, sometimes BUG) and many sticky situations can be saved by cavern when you're down on card advantage. There is a very key moment in those MUs where they are going all in with 1 force of will to hold it together. Having it in a spell slot, that is, NOT replacing a colored source is the real key to me. 3 Basics is SO important today. This also turns your maps, which often fly under the radar, into absolute daggers. When I was playing more dudes like trinket, and oracle it was even more relevant. This also shored up those FOW MUs enough to where I can keep upping the BEB count - which is becoming crucial these days.

(&, I am at 100% shiny too lol)

I really can't imagine playing w/o Cavern anymore, I tried it for a bit while testing latest RockLee build, but I missed it too much. It's too good to ignore. I do only play 1 of each basic because of my last slot being used by Khalni Garden instead. I think it's not incorrect to play a 2nd island or 2nd forest instead but I like the versatility vs BUG, titan into liliana, get khalni garden. If they don't have decay, it's often just GG.

P.S: post your deck photo/scan

BTW : foiled the deck, too :-D Brainstorms from conspiracy, because IA artwork is not avaible in foil ;-( (like it old school). But Trops remain white bordered. Even exchanged the one german bb :-p

This could probably work if you're facing a lot of BUG or something. Otherwise, I think I'd rather have Oracle of Mul Daya in that slot. I used to run Oracle when I was using Tim's list...especially when you have a Top out, she's amazing.

Also, thanks to everyone else for making me feel inadequate. I guess I'll take my alters and cry in the corner :P

It's motivation to step your game up :-)

Don't feel bad zot. I'm currently at 62% of the deck altered. :D

We have our own niche swag.

Don't worry mines not foiled yet. At least it doesn't play Goyfs! I have to full believe/winning with the archetype to start foiling. I've been getting better, but always seem to have trouble closing out game 3 a lot of times.

But that said, I don't have completely foiled RG tron and UG edh. (Most of which cards are the same.) This may be the next foil excursion!

[btm10]

Also Zot, while I don't play Post, your alters are really nice.

No foils for me, but I am working on getting Beta Tropical Islands. Two down, two to go.

I recently won our AZMagicPlayers Legacy Championship series with a UG build. A report with some of my thoughts, match details and sideboarding changes was posted:

BTW sauce, thanks for posting all of the videos, it's good to hear some insight into your decisions and plays. Keep it up, would like to see more!

tony, grats on your win.

I do not play Kozilek because I rarely would want to fetch it up. Usually you need Ulamog to kill a JTMS/Delver/Liliana to stabilize where a draw 4 cards would not do anything.
I cut him because both of the other targets are just superior. Now if you got nothing going on and you just get to cast him and the board is clear otherwise, then yeah, you will draw 4 and win the game. Ulamog would most likely do the same thing (win) in that situation for 1 more mana. The 1 mana difference is important, but I don't find Kozilek's effect necessary in the way most games play out. Maybe it's just based on how I play.

Thanks for watching my vids, I will upload more when I record them :)

Went 3 and 1 last night at a local shop. Beat out janky death and taxes 2 - 0, dredge 2 - 1 (made a HORRIBLE play the first game; tapped a turn 1 trop for a divining top with a crop rotate in hand.) and lastly I beat gobblins 2 - 0.
Then I lost to some dark maverick deck. I don't even know what to call it; it's like aggro loam maverick something. It's bug, runs Knight of the relequary, wasteland, lilly, Jace, goyfs, deathrite shaman, and a bunch of other stuff that was a nightmare. Then he sided in choke against me on game 2 too.
I apologize if it's been discussed before but what do you guys make of this match-up? Any tips? Besides what's in the first post...

Since they can't counter your titan or S&T, that should be your plan (as is vs all other midrange decks.) I would not S&T an Eldrazi vs them since they got Liliana/KoTR (for Karakas most likely.)
You should be easily able to navigate around wastelands w/ pithing needle, crop rotation.

Congrats on the victory. I've seen your lists on MTGGoldfish as well! :)

I'm curious about obstinate baloth. He's obviously good against Lilliana & Burn. Do you think it's really worth it? I was playing it, got it in for free off of a Hymn. It killed a lilliana and then did 12 points of damage before getting outclassed by a tarmogoyf. At that point in that particular match, we were in the topdeck war and Mono-green post failed to close out the game. For that particular event, baloth was a 1 of, so yeah...we were in magical Christmas land!
