Pretty hosed up that Wizards left the best deck in the format, the Mighty Quinn, out of the gauntlet Also, extremely hosed up that a bunch of people have explained Nic Fit and have neglected to mention you're obligated to run at least one sideboard Tsunami. it's actually in the rules.

eSporks posted:I don't really keep up with new sets, is there any sweet new tech to add to my nic fit doomsday deck? What about porting it to vintage? Spanish Inquisition is a powerful brew that you have made even more powerful by slamming some Doomsdays in there. You already have the hot Wild Dogs technology to make sure you can turn on your culling the weak/other sac cards and isn't just dead in your hand if you already have enough mana. i mean there's nothing really that enhances the engine of the deck and you probably have the two best "manual style" creatures you can pact for so i'm pretty sure this deck is perfect

Kraus posted:Am I crazy for wanting to buy a couple of Badlands so I can play Dark Burn and B/R Reanimator? I mean, if it's between buying Badlands and paying rent, yeah sure but if you have the dollars to spend B/R Reanimator is super fun to play and is a deck that has a lot of different lines you can take. if you enjoy that sort of thing you'll like B/R Reanimator dark burn seems both bad and not fun

Kraus posted:It'd be something I save up to/trade in cards for. I basically have the whole deck, except the Badlands, and the Sires of Insanity. Are the Sires actually good? I have zero experience playing against or with them. they're bad if you blow your load on one and they get swords'd, but other than that they're game winning on turn 1. they were worse when there were more goyfs around since if your opponent goes land, land, goyf that can be bad for you but you've already done a million damage at that point anyway

Let's talk about the objectively best eternal format, which is Pauper What is everyone doing in pauper? I'm not particularly revolutionary and have been trying out elvish vanguard, shaving a few visionaries and sometimes a priest of titania. It has been Pretty Good but just making a big idiot isn't that interesting. i've also tried making UG Canadian Threshold work, and as sweet of a card as Temporal Spring is, it is not going well

L0cke17 posted:This is where I'm at currently. Considerations for changes Im thinking now: 1 more mill card, and another crypt incursion, or blockers somewhere. When I was playing sprout spawning (which I cut because dispel is too common nowadays to rely on it) it was great for making blockers, but this list leans heavily on removal then eventually resolving a crypt incursion halfway through milling the opponents deck to stay alive. its weak to mono-black, but is otherwise decent in most matchups.

Is it just missing the caverns? iirc there are judge wastelands and ports. Oh i guess it usually splashes either black or white so youve got the duals too

the Lava Man is fine if you go the bauble/probe/lava spike/mutagenic growth plan and just try and hit people in the face. if you're on that plan you probably shave a few lands and don't mess around with things like Pia and Kirin e: Paul Rietzl has unveiled a delight of a deck in the VSL: //Creatures 1 Blightsteel Colossus 1 Trinket Mage 1 Snapcaster Mage 1 Consecrated Sphinx //Jace the Mind Sculptors 3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor //Spells 1 Tinker 1 Time Walk 4 Force of Will 3 Mana Drain 3 Mental Misstep 2 Flusterstorm 1 Ancestral Recall 1 Brainstorm 1 Fact or Fiction 1 Mystical Tutor 1 Repeal 1 Spell Pierce 1 Spell Snare //Artifacts 3 Null Rod 1 Black Lotus 1 Crucible of Worlds 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Sol Ring 1 Chalice of the Void 1 Mana Crypt //Enchantments 3 Back to Basics //Lands 9 Island 4 Wasteland 2 Polluted Delta 1 Strip Mine 1 Library of Alexandria 1 Scalding Tarn 1 Flooded Strand 1 Misty Rainforest //Sideboard 1 Flusterstorm 2 Annul 2 Blue Elemental Blast 2 Grafdigger's Cage 2 Mindbreak Trap 2 Dismember 1 Propaganda 1 Hurkyl's Recall 1 Arcane Laboratory 1 Ravenous Trap So, this deck is kind of a mash of the two things I wanted to do in Vintage. I wanted to play 4 wastelands, a strip mine, and a crucible. That leaves me with landstill or some shops variant. the other thing I want to do is play a 3 mana enchantment that hoses most lands in the format. This meant Blue Moon, but Paul has remembered that Back to Basics is a card that exists. I think if I played this, I would be inclined to make it UR, just to have better ways of interacting with resolved permanents. So, probably some Dork Fandangos and Sudden Shocks and an EE main, pyroblasts, sulfur elemental, probably a hammer mage and other red artifact hate in the board. People played three color stoneblade decks with back to basics in it, so there has to be a way to make that manabase work. Maybe two Volcs and a mountain? maybe switch that around? One thing I know I am keeping around is Propaganda. holy poo poo is that hot against the Eldrazi manabase Johnny Five-Jaces fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jun 26, 2016 |

L0cke17 posted:I think in the current meta, white is a better splash than red. Yes, you dont get pyroblast, but swords/path and disenchant are way better right now than the direct damage spells. If you do switch it up, you need min 6 fetches, maybe 8. two basics of your splash color, and 1 dual to fetch with the off-color fetch. Everything you are saying makes sense, except that I cannot use Plains to cast a Hammer Mage

Tim Raines IRL posted:I have some $ for a new legacy deck. do i go for the better deck and build infect, or should i put together the daretti stax list I've been playing on xmage? it's not great but it keeps your opponent from playing magic at all. Depends entirely on what you want to be able to "cross over" into. Infect gets you forces, duals, fetches, Daretti stax gets you sol lands (which are obviously blowin' up right now) and possible other random stuff that has cross appeal like chalice and mox diamond (i am making assumptions about your list). Sol lands also turn into an actual good deck right now so you can't really go wrong also, anyone playing doomsday in legacy right now? i saw it top 8'd a super iq or whatever the sunday events are called but I'm not convinced it is better than ANT. still, seems sweet.

mcmagic posted:I have experience with Shardless and with Sultai Delver too. Just not sure which one is best for the weekend though I don't know if their Eldrazi matchups are much better than Grixis. Grixis Delver with Stifles is probably not good (though most aren't playing Stifles anyway) but that eldrazi deck is still a Stompy deck. they don't have any manipulation like you do. More Pierces and Strixes seems good.

Star Man posted:Is there a reason that I'll see Boreal Druid used instead of Arbor Elf in Modern Elves lists? you should play neither, but the reason is that Boreal Druid always taps for mana, whereas it's not insane to have a draw that doesn't have forests in that deck. in a deck that always wants to blow your opponent up by turn four, it was thought the consistency is more important than the upside arbor elf provides
