Looks like I just need to trim the fancy stuff like Jace and Dig Through Time and just make it consistent with a ton of removal. It's at about 12 minutes in this video against Mardu. http://www.twitch.tv/magic/b/579622411

I really want to run nyx weavers in my own deck as it seems useful not only for sending stuff to the yard but also for pulling stuff back that soul of innistrad and whip cant. Especially for getting back empty the pits if it gets milled. Also spiders own. For some reason though despite being an uncommon from a reasonably recent set there appear to be none on sale whatsoever wherever I look in the UK. I'd understand if it was a dumb overinflated card like stoke the flames but it worth pennies.

The Blob (film) was a disastrous 1988 remake of a 1958 film. The Blob (X-men) is very much a prominent X-men villain who was regularly in the 90's X-men cartoon, the newer X-men cartoons, the live-action film X-men Origins: Wolverine, and has been in most X-men video games. If you were born after 1980, and are in the M:tG demographic, you probably are 100x more familiar with the comic version than the movie.

I'm a fan of the original "The Blob" movie and also I remember the X-Men character because of the X-Men arcade game.

So I've not been watching the streams, is Mardu just not being played, or is there something fundamentally wrong with it? I was pretty happy with the midrange deck based on the SCG 2nd place from right after the set launched. Crackling Doom and the walkers are fantastic.

Yup, had no idea he was in the cartoon version and somehow erased the awful Wolverine movie from my mind. Only Blob I knew was from the original X-Men comics and I think he comes back once or twice up through the 70s and maybe early 80s. Believe it or not, though, I had never read an X-Men comic before last month, I found a handy reader app for my tablet and have been plowing through the series. I still think it's weird for people to not know the movie, though. EDIT: Jesus, Magus of the Moat wins a game against Elves.

So Jim Davis was just slow playing for the draw on the SCG stream right? The way he's been playing this Game 3 has just been ridiculously slow, even when he didn't have any complicated decisions to make.

I liked how quickly game one of this Elves vs. Reanimator match went down. T1 fetchland, entomb for Norn. T2 Animate dead, kiling what is otherwise a very good looking board of dryad arbor, deathrite shaman, and wirewood symbiote. Elves player extends the hand. EDIT: And in game two, he reanimates his opponent's Scooze because he's too low on life to renimate anything in his own 'yard. Incredible.

I don't see how game 1 is a good game unless you have some irrational hatred of Elves? I think it's boring when the Reanimator player just has the nut draw opener. The Scooze play was good, and that was a really interesting game.

Oh man looks like Big Knucks Kibler vs. Sligh in a win-and-in feature match. I also wasn't really following SCG this weekend but I see that Tom Ross's Sligh list in somebody else's hands got 2nd.

I get a kick out of how ridiculous the nut draw against Elves is. Like, the nut draw against most decks still makes you think "why play anything else," but most decks at least can cast removal against your Griselbrand or Norn or whatever. Elves, if I know the deck right, literally cannot win. Meanwhile, at the GP, Kibler steals a win by being able to Stubborn Denial a Stoke because the other guy tapped all his land rather than convoking. Crazy.

Elves, if I know the deck right, literally cannot win. I play Elves, and yeah....seeing a turn 1 Entomb is not a good feeling. There's literally nothing you can do game 1 except hope they are waiting for a turn 3 Show&Tell and you can go off turn 2. I've won through a few odd scenarios, discarding a Griselbrand to hand size to reanimate it comes to mind. Basically if they can't get a turn 2 Norn you have a shot IF you can go off and are on the play. If you lose the die roll you're basically hosed. The other side of the coin is that there are many matchups that are the exact reverse. Game 1 against Merfolk or Goblins I just laugh.
