I played burn last night, and Jack did twice. Must be one super lucky burn guy out there who got matched up against all of us. Went 3-1 against pyro stone blade twice and bug delved, lost to burn.
Get some Bottle Gnomes in your board. That way you can sac for 3 life, weld it back in and gain another 3 life. Also can be fetched with Recruiter.Originally Posted by Lysandros
I'm trying out a single Rabblemaster as a recruitable fallback option. I run mono red.
Burn versus mono red version is tough. Best answer lie in other colors, and artifact answers include only dragons claw. Which doesn't help due to their smash to smithereens they bring in. Other option is Leyline of sanctity and possibly mull for it.
I honestly am 50/50 at WORST against burn but I run leyline and still run sphere of law. That combo almost completely shuts that deck down. Sometimes they are just too fast but if I have a leyline in my opener and can land the sphere by turn 3-4 I can usually pull it off. When I had spellskite main it was even better but switched to the canonist.
Speaking of which, Jack I'm surprised you switched out of this. I have been amazed at how well canonist has been working against removal. I am grabbing canonist now as my first line of defense against things like Miracles and have been having great success with it. It seems like a decent catch-all for a lot of MUs.

Hey everybody. I played in an 18 man tourney a little bit ago. It was my very first legacy event. I had a lot of fun but did have a few issues.
Matchups:
Merfolk - won 2/0
Landstill - won 2/1
Sneak 'n' Show - lost 0/2
Elves - lost 0/2
U/G Infect - lost 0/2
My question was with Elves. We played a few games after he beat me and I was just having problem after problem. I play R/W painter and every game it seemed like my hate cards just didn't do enough. I am running pretty close to Jack's 75. Every game I was able to E. tutor into a hate card. I did E. Bridge but that just slowed him down until he got reclamation sage. I tried 3sphere and Cannonist as well. I tried to get 2 hate cards out to get by reclamation sage, but was unable to.
It also seemed like I was drawing pretty poorly. Never saw Painter.
Just wanted to know what everyone else's experience vs. elves was.
Thanks for any advice or ideas.
My history against elves has definitely been in my favor. It's important to keep in mind they can answer all the things that are good against them but if you get 2 e bridges, or e bridge and welder, with a revoker on wirewood, then they lose. I also play a good bit of removal in my board and am still running chandra. How were you boarding?
Played against storm last night in a local event. In G3, turn 1 grindstone, turn 2 trinisphere, turn 3 blood moon, turn 4 revoker on petal to turn off abrupt decay...GG. I love this deck
In more white heavy deck, how much of a plus is Mother of runes? I'm thinking about them to protect the combo and welder. Not saying I will Im just curious as to thoughts of about tinkering with it.
I think Spellskite is almost always better than Mom in painter, because you can use it the turn it comes into play.
Spellskite also has the added bonus of being an artifact that you can tutor for or weld back in.
And can protect grindstone and other artifacts.
How is everyone doing on painter recently?
For some reasons I been doing very poorly. My meta seems to have suddenly switch to pure combo.
Majority are playing S&T, storm, reanimator (many different ones now with the new unbanned dragon even). I am having a lot of issues beating them as they are fast and some like the new reanimator uses gamble and burning wish. The blueer combo decks now almost always play dig which is almost as bad as cruise. Miracles play reb and beb plus dig which seems to speed up their kill time and consistency. It's almost like this change has made me a bad player or I must be making the wrong choices for some reason.
My deck is close to what jack posted earlier this month. I change out Daretti to preist as I find I rarely board him in. And did I mention I am having a poor record with S&T and reanimator? I am having a better time with d&t, elves and delver decks.
Have not seen jack stream lately?
Went 3-1 last night in a 15 person tourney with Shortcake last night.
Round 1: Esper Thopter Foundry - 2-0 Win
Round 2: Artifact Loam Lands - 1-2 Loss
Round 3: Enchantress - 2-1 Win
Round 4: UWR Delver - 2-0 Win
The deck felt strong today. I may have won the whole thing if not for my lands opponent having two mox diamond through my turn 1 moon in game 3. I'll try to write up some additional info later.
Half of Game 2 of Round 1 was featured on WUBRGxyz's stream viewable here.

You know you have played Painter for a long time when.....
That's pretty sweet. Old borders were so nice. I'm working towards foiling out what I can at the moment. Just got my last fetch today and am picking up a miscut foil canonist tomorrow
That Painter looks really awesome!You know you have played Painter for a long time when.....
Was this done personally or was someone hired to produce them?
Lejay has been 4-0'ing dailies with this mono red list for the past few weeks on MTGO.

I really like the 3 Koths in the board, as I am a player that often sides Koth in for some of the fairer matchups and not just miracles. Definitely going to test the one-of Daretti and chrome mox main. I think multiple mox is overextending in a deck that already lacks card advantage, but one is perfectly fine, especially in a list that isn't running enlightened tutor, which is already a lot of card disadvantage.
Are those tourney legal and if so i need a playset like i never needed anything in my life omg.You know you have played Painter for a long time when.....
