I have not tested Jitte in 4-5c yet, and I'm currently in the process of testing it in 3c, so we'll see how I like it there.

Here's the color breakdown for that list:
W: 10 (4)
U: 2
B: 11
R:...

Thanks. Magma Jet is one of those cards I want to play a full set of, so I'm going to test -1 land for Doran, then if I keep getting flooded, I'll probably drop a Mire, the Doran (unless it turns out...

About Trygon + Pridemage, people tell me not to do it all the time, but I consistently love the combo (second favorite only to Goyf + Confidant :tongue: , so you see, I'm stuck playing 5c) and I'm...

So no suggestions?

Ok, so the current list I'm testing with much success is on post #396. I've been getting land flooded too often, so to start out with, I'm dropping a Savannah. That leaves me with the hard decision...

Not to mention actually playing said Snuff out will cost you another 4 life, and that's after playing a couple of Thoughtseize and popping some fetches. Not cool. Plus he doesn't swing for enough and...

Hell ya, first turn Nacatl is crazy against everything. I've recently been having to Force them when playing against this deck, and that sucks.

Holding back Bolt doesn't turn me on, though. All...

Hmm, again depends on the rest of your build.

I'm a big fan of STE. Permanent mana acceleration into basics is great in today's meta. Plus he chumps like a champ, and is randomly good against...

20 land + 4 Vial is too much, for sure. I've been getting landflooded in testing. 18 might be the right number. 10 fetches plus 1 of each dual (excluding UB and UW), is what I'm going to try out.
...

I guess it depends on the build, but in general:

Thoughtseize/Duress/Therapy can answer these preemptively

Deed/Vindicate/Pulse for CB

BoP/STE, possibly LftL, and plenty of basics for...

Answers for Stalker:

Wasteland/Stifle to keep them off BB

Preemptive Clique

Rushing River/Wipe Away

Ice

Hmm. check my list above you.

Without Vial, idk, I might be playing either Chain Lightning or Lightning Helix. Most likely Chain. Vial seems worth it so far.

Ok, so just finished some testing with Vial and actually I'm very pleased with my first impressions (My testing gauntlet was Landstill, Thrash, and Merfolk. I chose these because they are the decks...

Oh, my bad, you can't stand the black splash so all discussions off. And no one mention Vial anymore. We have to devote the next two pages to arguing about Cursed Scroll and Null Rod.
I'll stop, I...

I lol'ed. But seriously, it's not like 9/11 isn't a real date that didn't exist before or outside the context of what happened. I mean, for all we know it could be his birthday. Just because your...

You weren't unclear, but apparently I was.

I am in no way backing up the inclusion of Vial, but you seem to think that that 4-5c Zoo NEEDS Vial to shore up its poor manabase, and whether...

...of the 69 Zoo decks represented on deckcheck, 42% are 4-5c, with only 13% of those decks playing Vial.

How exactly is your point proven?

According to deckcheck, 37.5% of UGB Thrash (Bob, Goyf, Goose, Stifle, Snare, Seize, Waste) plays a single MD Breeding Pool, whereas 3% of UGR Thrash does the same.
Obviously UGR is much more...

Ok, so I've never played with Jace before, but since a lot of people are talking very highly of him I'm obviously going to start testing.
Question, though: are you guys speeding up the game by a...

Actually the main reason RB is my favorite right now is not only because of Wierding (Stingscourger is about even in my books. They both are great and suck in about the same number of situations.),...

Sure, but if he dies by Swords, that shock got mitigated and I just 2:1 the opponent. Confident is already ridiculous in a deck that basically curves out at 2, and the fact that Zoo/Burn style decks...

I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of Lavamancer in Zoo; I think he should stay in Goyf Sligh. We have more permanent damage sources (ie. creatures), and tend not to put as many cards into the graveyard...

I've also been enjoying a single Clique in a Fire/Ice slot. So much so, in fact, that I'd like to add another one, most likely in place of one of the bounce spells (I can't see wanting to drop...

Lol, I meant Lightning Helix. Obviously no Bolt would be retarded.

That deck under the "I" link looks way good.

Though I'd probably do -1 Lavamancer -1 Fireblast +2 Lightning Helix. And then that set of Lightning bolts could possibly be Rift Bolt. Then maybe -1...
