Daze? Most of the deck playing land tax are dismissing spell pierce for daze, so you can setup, say, counterbalance more efficiently AND not risking being screwed by random nonbasic hat / stifle.
...

I think that, as usual, it depends on meta choices. Full of merfolk/maverick/sneak show? Counterbalance doens't seem the way to go. Full of reanimator / rug / mirror? Easy choice. I don't understand...

In testing I'm doing it happens that 1 card with miracle in your opening hand can happen. Thing is, the blue one can be fodder for fow, the red one cannot. In fact, i'm atm considering cutting...

Just to put a draft on the table, numbers still to tweak, etc.


4 Goblin Guide
4 Delver of Secrets
3 Snapcaster Mage
3 Grim Lavamancer

3 Temporal Mastery
3 Thunderous Wrath

Plus I hear miracle costs are good with Sensei's divinig top. This is time walk for us, period. I'm really excited about this card!

BTW, here's my last tweak on the deck:


3 Jace, the Mind...

I still prefer a 1/1 split between Sorin and Elspeth. The reason is that Sorin is a little less difficult to kill, and I don't think messing up with the manabase is a good thing. KK, I may revisit...

Hanni, about Maverick. GSZ easily dodges counterbalance, and with no clock on the board, a resolved thrun @t4 (and that actually happens A LOT) is very difficult to beat. I played this some time ago:...

What for? You already have 6+4 swords effects... shackles is really not needed and expensive... I'd try it over crucible, however. Though they serve a different function, i'd rarely had the chance to...

I top4'd a small tournament (40 ppl) in Padua a couple of days ago. I attended the tournament as a testing ground for my take on this archetype. I think it's very viable now. It sucks I can't call it...

I think you're referring to Ovino 6, in Milan. Here's the report (in Italian). And here's the list:

4 force of will
4 brainstorm
2 ponder
2 dismember
1 go for the throat
1 ghastly demise...

Thanks, I'd really wanted some insight on PiF. I just don't get why it's the right time to cast it. When I'm wishing for IGG, I nearly always want to get back a LED, and PiF doesn't let me do that....

That's why we have a split.

This is false in 2 ways. The first, monocolored decks have wasteland, which is +2/+2 to terravore. Notable exception is affinity, where goyf IS bigger than terravore...

I don't know if one suggested to cut a creature entirely, and I don't want to defend that position. I am running a 2/2 split, as Jona does, and I'm not lowering my creature count (I actually play 8...

In facts, nobody said terravore is there to improve the stoneblade MU... goyf can bounced and stp'd too, but it addiction, it can be chumpblocked pretty easily.

Also, if it is totally correct to listen to more experienced player's suggestions, you should motivate your opinions through testing the deck by yourself and not simply with things you've read...

The concept behind snare is whole lot different now than it was when snare was first printed and brought to landstill. The goal there was to survive through the early game and then your opponent...

@Picelli: while I don't totally defend your choiche, I've always stated that in landstill card slots are really tight, and you have to focus on what you want to remove with removal spells and what...

Yep, I'm the same gustha! ^^
sorry 'bout that, I began to comment and was very late, then I came back to the source because I wanted to write a deeper comment.

Apart from other considerations...

Good job Jona, i think you did a very good analysis, and especially like the "core" deconstruction of the deck.

Few questions I'd like to ask.
1) f/i#3 - grim lavamancer: I recently swapped daze...

I love walls of text! ^^ Can't wait to read your testing results, will be very helpful.

Agree clique is the best beater by far, I began to play with 4, I'll stick with 4. I always want a t2 clique...

Indeed, this is not a bad idea at all... i don't know if replacing a single tarmogoyf is the right place for terravore, but it sure may find a place as goyf#5... we run at least 9 fetches, so being a...

I can't speak of the current metagame in germany! :D here a lot of aggro is seen, though the gate sees some rising due to green monsters (zoo, maverick, forceless bant, rug on the way?) being very...

What chinEsE girl said is correct in some degree. If I played Tes or Urg/canadian, I'd simply don't mind and play through opposing mana denial plan. Those 2 decks have lower mana curve that NO RUG,...

First, thanks for the kind response!

Now, where am I supposed to fit another dual and another dryad? ^^ The trop is good in the mountain slot, I've considered that before. Still, I see wasteland...
