Lands has always been somewhat fringe due to Tabernacle. Prior to the RG build becoming a thing, you might see it once in a blue moon, you see it more now but it's still a remarkably small % of the meta game at any given point.

He also played savannah and karakas main to support 4 containment priests post board. Really interesting choices for sure.
speaking of white:
Nahiri, the Harbinger might be a good sideboard choice. Deals with all of the troublesome enchantments and +2 is good with Loam and lands to discard.
The card might be too cute.
Read Ground Seal and Life from the Loam. Let me know what you think. :)

Oops, sorry for the silly question. Did not remember the card correctly. Thought it would only count for the opponent...
Plz ignore ;-)

Just wanted to point out that this list was piloted by Eric Yu, not Jarvis Yu. Now, I'm certain Eric is a fine, wonderful fellow, but that does not make him the same person that won a Gran Prix with RG Lands.
Which means his opinion is invalid because he didn't run hot at a GP. Maybe you should know a player before disregarding their changes and ideas as less because they aren't a "internet grinder pro"

I actually looked at Eric's build, because someone wanted to know if I was related to him. (No, I'm not).
There's some very interesting ideas in there.
what is an 'internet grinder pro', and how can i be paid to be one?
I think you're misreading Patrick here. He just pointed out the fact that this isn't Jarvis Yu. Relax, nobody is disregarding anyone. In any case, I welcome people who are willing to think outside the box. Keeps things interesting, if you know what I mean.

Do you stream legacy or post any YouTube videos playing lands?
Are you currently on your lands build from the GP or has your list evolved a lot (Splashing Black or White)?
I'm only asking because I was considering playing lands at the GP and wanted to see what success you've had with the list since your GP win.
I played RG/b for a little, and it was fine, although I didn't love the mana.
I played straight RG in a Super Sunday Series trial on Friday of GP Toronto, and chopped the finals with hyp3rion (who was playing Miracles).
I haven't had time to stream or record any videos, given 40 hour work weeks and only time after work to figure out what i'm doing for certain tournaments.
I do think RG/b is very good if you're willing to risk a shakier manabase, but straight RG runs so smoothly. I've moved off Choke, and moved onto 2 Boil + Boseiju, Who Shelters All.
boseiju... who shelters AAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyways, eric yu is an extremely competent lands player and i would seriously consider any deckbuilding decisions he makes
I haven't had any luck with Boseiju seems very meta specific. I however been getting my butt kicked by several burn decks in my local meta.
It's gotten to the point I'm considering running 4 leyline of sanctity in my sideboard.
How do you feel lands is positioned in the Eldrazi filled meta? I can see how Eldrazi can push out some of our really bad matchups from the meta (ANT) but I find eldrazi to be rather annoying to play against as a lands player, especially if I don't know there on eldrazi game one. They seem to always have chalice on 1 which makes the game miserable but not unwinable.
He's going to have to turn in his Lands cards soon since he's been playing Miracles for months now!

Yes thanks chatto. Not trying to insult anyone. It's just that the original post made it seem like the new list was jarvis yu's, which it isn't.
In either case, i agree with j. Yu that rg feels smoother than rgb, though i'm not totally convinced boseiju plus two boils is better than running three chokes.
You'll have to rip my Tabernacle from my cold dead hands before I ever get my Lands card revoked.
While I'm not the biggest fan of the Boseiju/Boil package you do need to have a Miracles hate strategy in the board. In my opinion, Chokes aren't that effective and wouldn't go in that direction. They're usually very easy to deal with and are a card that is literally on every Miracles players radars. With the amount of Chalices floating about the format right now, I wouldn't want to devote more of a Lands sb to vulnerable permanents like Choke.
All fair points. I've been owned by wear tear once or twice.
I have a heavy burn meta where I am, I'm thinking about playing 2 or 3 Courser of Kruphix out of the side.
Have you ever tested with this card?
