[Noloam_]

Todd Stevens tried to created Rudy Brzika on SCG for his "take" on eldrazi. I posted a reply that Rudy took it from Noloam. Busted.

Also, currently 52-14 with the Noloam list.

well done bro. is there an article about this or something?

I chuckled when I read Darkness' comment.

Looking at Rudy Briszka's take on the archetype, I like how he has incorporated three Simian Spirit Guides into the maindeck to ensure a fast start and to help cast the two Oblivion Sowers, which have replaced Endbringer.

This is not Rudy's take he copied it from someone in the Netherlands who has been piloting the deck and refining to this 75 named Noloam. He is an active member on the source and has many 5-0 mtgo results with various changes he has made. Check him out.

Hello again everyone,

I had been playing with Wg version(Barook's list) at Columbus and through the summer. However it seems that since early August people have either stopped playing with the white splash or just at least stopped talking about it.

Loams list with sower does look interesting (and I am willing to try it out), but is anyone having any success with the white splash still? I love displaced and I am finding it hard to come up with a 75-card list that doesn't include it.

Thanks!

Edit: the 2x Karakas in the main always felt good too. Karakas (along with displacer) felt like it gave the deck a fighting chance against both Sneak and Show and Lands.

I am. Im still doing extremely well with it around the bay area won a big 2k and top 8'ed (story there kinda) the most recent CFB 3k wit it. Im just running out of ways to tinker with it and dont have much to add.

Do you mind sharing your list? I am curious to see how the lists have changed.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm 20-6 right now on MTGO. I lost to Elves once, and he topped decked Natural Order when he was dead on board both games. I've been seeing the mirror where I want 2 more Sower and an Ulamog. Also, what do you think about Basilisk Collar?

yes. i thought elves was an ok match. but latetly i am losing big time vs them

i think collar is a good card. Especially vs tempo and its insane with endbriger

[Poron]

the only problem with Collar is Chalice

Both are great against the same decks and you surely prefer Chalice over Collar anytime

I had Collar brought in against me in the mirror. Seems ok, but I can see Jitte being enough. I more am thinking about 4 Sower/Ulamog.

[TLK]

I, too, played a long drawn out game against the mirror, and would've loved to have an Ulamog to fetch for with Eye. Also, the Displacer versions are tough mirrors.

[fireiced]

I have moved from Endbringers totally now. (I play the W splash so I got more outs to Emmy and Griselbees) Going for the full 4 Oblivion Sowers in my 75 with a 2-2 split MB / SB. Sowers are stellar in the slower matchups like Nic Fit, Lands, Miracles and Loam strategies. Exiling their win cons with Sower, no doubt quite RNG here, just flat out obliterates these decks' endgames.

What is your 75 with white?

I think I am going to cut Endbringer for an Ulamog. I've wanted him a lot and not sure what else makes sense to cut.

[Darkness]

Noloam and I have been talking about adding in an Ulamog, we were actually discussing how low impact the ratchet bombs in the board were. We primarily wanted them for the bigger decks (Shardless, Miracles, Mirror, Enchantress among others) and against the Show and tell decks as tech to hit it. Anyone else have these thoughts?

I feel like that would be a very proactive card. Maybe cutting 2 bombs and a Enbringer for 2 more Sower and an Ulamog?

[pateuglow]

I've never had Ratchet Bomb over perform. O Sow on the other hand has proven very good.

Not sure I'm sold on Ulamog - I've had a tough time activating Eye of Ugin at times.

[Poron]

I have tried O Sower lists and I don't understand why you would play it over Endbringer.

Endb. is card advantage vigilance attacker and, in case, hatebear pinger. With Dismember it kills up to 6 thoughtness creatures and with S.Contortion up to 4thoughtness.

On the other hand Sower has that huge thoughtness (but wasn't 6 enough already?) and the ability to steal 1 or 2 fetchlands from the opponent (often impossibile to utillize unless you run the playset of Urborg, ToY.

It's stellar in the mirror though, but the mirror is just a run to get Ulamog and to get there Conduit of Ruin is just better...

Sower is primarily for the goyf match ups and mirror. Two of the top tier decks.

sower can survive dismember
