[Primer] R/G Lands

[Chatto]

Sooo, basically straight RG Lands, with a SB to transform your deck into RGb Lands?

[Dice_Box]

Yes. With Bog moved to the main and a 3 Decay, 2 Grip Split.

[Djehuti]

Yeah, I don't think Vortex is a good card. I'll have to watch again, but Punishing Fire seems like it would have been just as good in most of the scenarios BBD encountered.

PF would probably just be better in at least 2 of the games. Needle and Revoker were pretty pesky in the D&T match, while vortex would just eat abrupt decay against shardless. For the stoneblade matchup, i don't think it makes much of a difference main board and post board both rest in peace and pithing needle are likely to come in.

Agreed.

All in all, though, I think the black splash may just be a necessary evolution for the deck. I am a known entity online, but I'm encountering a lot of trouble with the straight RG version. I think I'm going to run Ayers' 75 pretty soon (the one that runs P-Fire and a Bayou main to splash for discard and Abrupt Decays).

Curious on how your manabase looks like, guys. I'm finding it hard to find room for all the cards I want to play. I would like to fit a second Bayou in, perhaps Chasm back to the main.

@ Patrick: interesting thought, black splash getting neccesary. If this is really the case, then it would mean the manabase should get a decent make-over.

List please?

I think Patrick is referring to the list in here (fourth one): http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles...gue-2016-03-18

I'm heading to a largish tournament tomorrow and will be trying out something similar to the Daryl Ayers list linked to above.
The main deck will be a little different as I'm definitely packing four ports into to an unknown meta.
The sideboard I'll probably copy mostly as I like the thoughts behind it and not having to bring chalice is a great upgrade i believe as it's sometimes hampered me against combo. Setting it on one to not lose and then drawing only tutors for a few turns while they go of with zero and two casting cost spells is sickening.
So high hopes for thoughtseize!

Probably going to scrub out, but what the hey. Will post tournament report if it turns out to be interesting for anybody but myself.
Everyone have a great weekend!

Danish guy over and out.

Hello all. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on some (probably) disappointing news. I'm going to retire Building a Fortress indefinitely to work on some academic projects that are pretty important to me (publishing my book and getting a Ph.D.). Hope this doesn't dishearten too many people. Maybe I'll see some of you at a paper tournament sometime down the road. In any case, have a good one and keep Lands strong.

Sad to hear, but completely understandable. Your videos were a huge help as a new Lands player and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thanks so much for all your hard work and best wishes on your academic projects!

Thank you for your video content. I found it very helpful being a new player.

Good luck on your book and ph.D.

Out of curiousity: in which field are you getting a Ph.D.? And don't say indefinitely... You will always need some sort of stress-relief

[Adamovic]

@stefn: yep, eternal clash precisely. i agree that miracles will probably be out in force, so stay out of that draw bracket! I don't like abrupt main myself as I believe I takes to much away from game 1 percentages against other matchups, but I'm probably going to rue my choice tomorrow.

@gigapatrick: good luck with your real world goals. Keep fighting the good fight in paper then! Thanks for content, it's helped me as well.

You will be missed, but then again you'll probably keep posting here even without the leagues, you were one of the first to pick up this deck!

Literature Theory. Not a real lucrative field, but it's what I love.

Don't worry Pat, the back log is more than enough to help new players. I thank you for that.

Very interesting! Let us know when you finish your book, and where we can order it I for one always like to read scientific research, so I would definately like to hear from you. And as a historian and musician I can confirm that having passions don't always mean making money... But doing what you love is priceless, so there! (That's why I have a nice job at an office )

Let's focus in lands please.

Went 7-0 yesterday.
