[Primer] R/G Lands

[Arksz]

So, David Long is playing a new kind of build? Bayou, Abrupt Decay's, Thoughtseize, Molten Vortex, and Bobs?

There have been some lists with black that use abrupt decay and bobs. Someone on here from Europe has a super pimped out version. He seems to be running a lot of discard in the sideboard though.

I was talking to at an event earlier this month about his build. From what he told me he completely got rid of punishing fire and is instead playing Molten Vortex and decays main and he was playing the bobs in the board. Seems like his list is probably a lot better against something like miracles than your traditional r/g combo lands lists.

I love how he innovates the deck. The four trini's in the days of Miracles/Omnitell before DTT's banning was his initial idea too.

Saw him beat Miracles (5-0, I think). How'd he finish yesterday?

7th after day one (so in pretty good shape, but still everything can happen), if I read the standings correct. Really like to see a list

I'll try to ask him if he doesn't top 8.

Thanks! Here's hoping it doesn't come to that.

Thanks. I do my best (though that often includes silly things like thinking that Mox Diamond is a good draw when I have Chalice on zero on the battlefield.)

According to twitch chat:

Rogue1987: Noah Walker forces a game 3 against David Long.

It's over for Lands.

Quite a shame, because the most likely final would have been Lands vs Shops, and that would have rocked!

Good show David Long - we all look forward to the list.

I'm thinking the switch away from PFs to MVs is synergistic with the SD Bobs. Bob + Vortex is pretty deadly even without graveyard access.

5 Lands decks in the top 32 from SCG Philly.

There are a few builds with the black splash, as well as versions without Punishing Fire and have Molten Vortex instead. Interested to hear about how Molten Vortex and the black splash fared.

Came in 17th :( Came close to a top 8. Seems I am the only one who showed up with a more traditional R/G lands build. http://sales.starcitygames.com//deck...p?DeckID=99284

27th place is Turbo-Depths, so it looks like there are actually six lists.

The move away from Pubishing Grove is intriguing to be sure!

Yeah, the only match that grove was really good for me was DnT. Every other match I won with Merit Liege or the one of Molten Vortex in the side.

Really great showing by everyone. David mentioned in his Top 8 profile that eldrazi were his only losses. The matchup seems very tough if they get the mimic spew but watching the finals matchup I am slightly excited to see that the deck is so reliant on its lands that even a single wasteland can crumble it. What were your thoughts on the eldrazi matchup. Since lands was so prevelant and had the highest conversion rate it seems are you mentally preparing for the winter orbs and more painter decks to show up?

[chalupa43087]

I'm thinking about what kinds of SB hate that might show up that hurts both us and eldrazi but also what hate that shows up and misses us. Joe Lossett has been playing 2 moats and was successful, blood moon is a lot more a problem than moat which does nothing. The commentators were also talking about Reid duke and his humility blood moon package he played. I'm wondering if that is how miracles will start to move to fight lands and eldrazi since both cards can be potential haymakers
