Thanks!Originally Posted by Noloam_
Have you liked the double urborg/2 cities? Any consideration to karakas or is being able to turn eyes into shops too valuable
yes i think dubbel urborg is perfect. the synergy with Eye is just too good. it also prevents getting to much damage from tomb. i dislike karakas, not only because there are better options, but because it doenst give colorless

I know you've mentioned your version being bad for the mirror - anything youve considered adding in the colorless build? Or if you want an edge in the mirror you have to play white/x?
That new displacer d&t deck also looks particularly threatening
What do you guys consider worse; Blood Moon or Back to Basics?
I have played http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/426187#online lately. It has at least ok mirror as you can remove 4 chalices and 2 thorns. To my limited knowledge wasteland version is still quite even vs W/x builds. Much more consistent mana. Obviously Displacer and World Breaker hurt a lot if it goes there.
Hard to say but in a vacuum I would say Blood Moon. Though I seem to have lost more to Back to Basics.
This is my thoughts as well.... It FEELS like Blood Moon should be worse, however, for some reason I think I've lost more games to Back to Basics.
Could be a ton of reasons for that though and it's all still SSS.
i managed to win against blood moon i think twice...one time by casting wail in response to make 1/1 for colorless --> smasher the turn after...the other simply winning with mimic/endless ones beatdown
i never managed to beat back to basics....
I want to sleeve up a version of Eldrazi for a testing gauntlet tomorrow. Any suggestions on a pretty standard build that most players at a big event might be playing?
i have no room in the sideboard for extra hate + i dont like displacer
btw back to basics is the biggest problem of all

What better options are there compared to Karakas? I assume you mean Endbringer, which is great, but I don't think I could ever consider it better than Karakas at doing the Karakas thing. Karakas can protect you from Reanimator or Marit Lage starting at T1, whereas Endbringer comes online typically T4 at the earliest.
Trying to decide if id rather have the faerie macabre or a second endbringer in noloams list for columbus
Also what land did you cut for a tower of magistrate when testing it
Also post board, how aggressively are you mulling for a hate piece (typically leyline)
karakas will get wastelanded/ported/ghost quarted before they go off. it can only delay at best, because the always make the token EOT. i do really like it against reanimator. but the one off bullet wont make the difference most of the time.
@black yoshi. i tend to always mull for turn 1 chalice/leyline/faerie. or turn 1 discoball into turn 2 thoughtknot

I'm going to play this list http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/426187#online in which I cut Tower for 3rd Wasteland. Still 50:50 if I run 2 AiD or 3. If 2 then I'll add 1 Spatial.
Funny you mention that, I just cut the Spheres for 1 Endbringer and 1 Spatial today XD
Man, Deathblade is a freaking tough matchup. I nut drew the TKS when he fetched for Batterskull, and of course he Brainstorms it back on top when I cast it. Howcome when we get the Chalice draw they never need BS/Ponder/STP/Spell Pierce, they just play SFM TNN Jace instead, yet when we don't they blow us out with 1 drops?
deathblade is the worst match for eldrazi. i lose 8/10 matches. swords/tnn/stoneforge/verdict/snappy/fow is just hidious

Hello!
I'm new to this forum and to the deck. I played my first tournament with noloam's list last weekend and went 3-3 with it. I beat shardless bug, miracles and merfolk. I lost twice to bug delver and once the mirror.
The bug delver seems to be compleately different animal than the other delver decks and I'd love to here some sideboarding tips for the matchup. Chalice seemed bad because they play 4 decays. They can also lock down the ground with tarmogoyfs while shredding your hand with hymn to tourachs.
Against tarmos I felt like I'd love to play blinkmoth nexus instead of mishra's factories. Have anyone else thought about playing the blinkmoths?
Went 2-0-1 at game night with w/g
Round 1: 2-1 vs Blazing Shoal Infect
Deck is very close to the no ban modern list, some tweaks are adding daze, force, and progenitus
Game 1: Figured what he was doing pretty fast, TKS took out shoal and I just out paced him
Game 2: He had a turn 2 kill, not much going on here
Game 3: He fights my TKS with force, I warping wail his dude in response to a summoners pact, he cant get the kill and loses
Round 2: 2-0 vs U/G Infect
Game 1: Displacer was a power house, he fought over warping wails on my turn and it wasn't much of a fight
Game 2: Second verse same as the first, brought in dismember, baited out some spells to kill his guys, displacer locked down his team
Round 3: Draw vs Burn
We drew to split the credit, played a lot of games for fun, this match just seems unwinnable. I have 2 Zuran Orbs in the side, didn't do much. Only time I won was with a Chalice on 1 and 2. He has bridges in the side to keep me at bay if needed.
Feeling pretty good about the weekend. Wondering if its worth bothering with the Orbs for Burn. Is Leyline of Sanctity too greedy to try to run 4? Im not running Void, using Macabre for Graveyard hate. I just feel like burn is unwinnable.
yes i whould understand when people whould cut chalice. i dont cute it, it still is a tempo deck with infinite 1 drops. decay hits most of your good cards, so you cant play arround that one. if he has to decay the chalice and let the 6/6 endless one life, thats fine with me
i board -2 thorn + 2 needle. as in every tempo match
