So, since Shock Lands "are not basic lands but have the properties of basic lands," can you run more than four in a deck?
No. The only cards that can be more than 4x in a deck are cards named Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. And any other card that has rules text saying otherwise, like Relentless Rats.
I like the list, but Delver isn't very specific. And decks like Merfolk or WB tokens may not be top tier, but they're showing enough numbers and are cheap enough that they'll be out in enough numbers to warrant testing against.
IMO it didn't get killed. It just makes the Naya version infinitely worse, and possibly the blue version as well. Cavern and Boseiju both neuter counterspells, so I think the Jund variant is the way to go. With hand disruption and another GQ or TE, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Will this deck still be able to work in Modern with the Valakut unbanning?
Yes, why wouldn't it? It just may have to run an extra tectonic edge or ghost quarter. Also, this may make the Naya version unplayable due to lack of disruption or countermagic.
When reporting a match on WER where 1 player had a game loss and the other player won the round, is it reported as 1-0 or 2-0?
At a competitive REL standard event, a player lists a card named "Karn" on his decklist. The only card in standard with the English name "Karn" in it is Karn Liberated. what is the penalty, if any for the player. Incomplete decklist registration?
Crucible isn't good because it doesn't actually give you another land drop, and it takes lands out of your graveyard. You want them in there so you can Loam them back to your hand.
I'm currently running Jacob Maynard's list from GP Columbus. I have been liking it more than lists with blue. Any suggestions or alterations I should consider?
I just went through M13 cardlist and a soldier's face in Captain's Call matches perfectly with the clear sky in Duskmantle Prowler. Seems like a pretty neat misprint
In foil they match? It honestly sounds like your brain is forcing something that isn't really there.
I would play it more, but there is a distinct lack of tournaments near me. As for the price tag, I'm failing to see how it is more expensive than Jund or any Uxy deck.
@greenpoe: Can you list your land base as well? I'd really like to see where you're going with it and if you have it tuned. I'd be more than willing to test out Naya Loam. Is BoP really all that necessary? Seems like the worst thing to cascade into.

As a Tournement Organizer, can I play in my own Grand Prix Trial without it being invalidated?

Right now we have:
Soul Sisters/Martyr Proc
Affinity/Robots
WB Tokens
U/W Tron
Jund
Aggro Loam
UWR Delver
things we are planning to add on:
Valakut
RUG Delver
RG Tron
Merfolk
RB Burn
Melira/Naya Pod
U/R Storm
RUG Twin
Infect
Did we miss anything?
Yes, why wouldn't it? It just may have to run an extra tectonic edge or ghost quarter. Also, this may make the Naya version unplayable due to lack of disruption or countermagic.
