[Deck] 12 Post

[TheBoozeCube]

I was about to talk about crucible too: if you plan to remove S&T and Titans in favor of Exploration, you should play a couple of crucibles because you could Intuition for posts and play them from the grave, essentially ramping like titan does.
You lose a big body, a win condition and a repeatable search effect in liu of a lower curve, a more versatile tutor and an insurance against LD decks.

I've been playing a Titan-less Exploration build for years. If you drop Titan and S&T, the real benefit is Ancient Stirrings. You can up your colorless count and play one of the most powerful dig spells ever. The consistency it gives you is incredible and massively improves your mulligans.

This is an interesting thought. I would wonder if you were only trying to ramp up to an eldrazi why bother play post at all? Why not Omni-tell? What specific advantage does post offer? In addition, I wonder at whether removing titans make the deck more vulnerable to removal? Versus miracles it wouldn't surprise me to get both Koz and Ula Swords to Plowshared. After that, councils judgement on your Emrakul and what do you have left?

If i did something like this there would be no doubt id up my vesuva count and include sylvan library. Consider exploration crucible glimerpost glacial chasm sylvan library. Obviously you arnt trying for it but it would naturally happen ocasionally

[winglerw28]

I like Sylvan Library a lot... what would I cut to make room for that though? hmm... Lots of good ideas floating around. Another thing I really like about some of the lists that BoozeCube has posted is that I really like Maze of Ith + Candelabra.

Just 4-0ed tonight's Legacy daily. Same monogreen list I've been on forever. I'm far too tired to repost the list again or write a real tournament report, but here were my matchups:

Round 1 - Miracles (apparently, I was the bad guy on Joe Lossett's stream)
Round 2 - ANT
Round 3 - UW Stoneblade
Round 4 - Dredge

All of my matches were won 2-0 except for ANT, which went to game 3. I didn't sideboard correctly in game 2 because I couldn't tell whether my opponent was on Storm, Reanimator, or something else; he scooped to T4 Kozilek + Ulamog before I could tell what he was doing.

It's theboozecube. When do they get posted? I'm still new to MTGO. I basically just bought my deck online to get more practice in.

Not sure. But from the looks of this weeks Daily results on the mothership (which were posted the 31st), you may not show up until next week. Congrats by the way.

Do they always post them? I couldn't find myself when I went 3-1 a few weeks ago.

Considering the Engrish translation attempt by Google (EDIT: or it could be a typo)... I think Trade Routes is supposed to actually be Trading Post.

It's too late for me to try to clean this up* right now and take a stab at the less obvious cards, so I'm just going to come back in the morning and see if I can fix it if no one else has already.

*Also, I will admit this off beat names do amuse me as well.

No. They only post the results of one daily per day. And they run 3 of them per day. Gotta be in the right one. I have no idea how they choose them.

It's based on attendance. The event with the highest number of players through the day, gets posted. Except when they don't post any because of reasons.

I wonder if Rock Lee tried his new experimental build at the Premier IQ in Syracuse today. It would be interesting to hear his take on its results, because as of right now it looks as if he went 2-3 and then dropped...

My worst SCG showing yet. Not only in record, but also in my play.

I lost round 2 to Miracles in 1 game by not attacking with an emrakul.

I lost round 3 to Junk by "hiding" a primeval titan from an inquisition of kozilek thinking thoughtseize and then surgical shuffling my unnecessarily hidden titan away.

Just shame all around.

Was very off my game.



My list was punishing fire in normal u/g. I think the build is very strong atm, and am still tuning it. The only loss I had that I count is my round 5 loss to a Myth Realized pyromancer patriot delver list. Interesting build, some horrific rng and a truly unpleasant opponent who abused the horrible head judge's (the same head judge who I reported for making incorrect calls at GP NJ and knocking me out of Top 8) calls multiple times.

Sounds like a bad day rather than a bad list. Also, sucks that the Head Judge made bad rulings - what was the situation in question that happened (my curiosity as a judge at work here)?

Punishing Fire seems very well positioned right now. I've played both Lands and Jund at my local tournament recently and the SCG metagame seems to reciprocate my experience - small creature-based or Jace decks everywhere.

whats not right about that list? it shows 61 main and 14 sideboard

p[layed around with the 61 card version. if the deck doesn't mull to oblivion its nice. i forgot how powerful candles are. and kozelik is better as a draw tool to fuel exploration and other things.
