In testing today I also had an issue getting to Gamekeeper at times. I understand the deck runs a great deal of disruption but it just felt like there were too many times were I just couldn't get to...
Thanks Grah. That is the feedback I need. I want to make sure that I am playing the deck as well as possible. I must be doing something wrong. What are you boarding in against Landstill? DoJ?
But when playing this game you have to understand your odds of drawing that third mana source. Having 23 mana sources in the deck, and having drawn 2 of them in the opening hand (Ancient Tomb and...
I have always viewed this deck in three ways: Card Advantage, Evasion, and Removal. Mask of Memory, while a bit faster, only falls into one of these categories. SoFI falls into all three...
Isamaru is excluded because he feels Suntail Hawk is superior due to its evasion so Lions/Isamaru is excluded. Concerning the Mask vs. Jitte numbers, one may never come to a proper conclusion on the...
Man, am I having fun testing this deck. I do hve a couple questions though. Decree of Pain seems so cumbersome. Why not Hideous Laughter? It is cheaper and still able to go off at any time due to...
I have been testing this deck for about two weeks and by no means have I become good at playing the deck but I am concerned iwth its consitancy. I would say about 40% of the time I am fizzling, way...
In my experience, Landstill and Combo tend to be the bad matchups. I am lucky in that I don't run into too much combo here in the Charlotte, NC area but both can be problems. The combo I have...
Happy: I agree totally with your comments concerning Aether Vial. My point exactly. I do have one question though, why Shining Shoal? I understand that it is free damage redirection no matter the...
KrzyMoose: Trust me, I have tested this deck to a great extent and have tried your changes some time ago. (Decemeber I believe). We will have to agree to disagree. SoFI contributes too much.

First, Angel Stompy doesn't have that bad a matchup against control to consider using Aether Vial to counteract the control elements of the decks. Landstill is perhaps the most bothersome control...

I have been playing Angel Stompy for about the past three months, testing regularly. Last weekend was the first tournament I took it to, having been playing Solidarity prior. It wasn't the...
I would be interested to know how Parallax Wave is dead. Against combo perhaps but against any other aggro deck I can't see it as being dead. I would definitely not suggest dropping three from the...
The only problem with Sharpshooter+Flametongue against an Angel is MoR and SoFI. A good Angel Stompy player isn't going to just throw an Angel out there unprotected against Survival Advantage...
