MTG Salvation

Has anyone experimented with blue zoo containing cloudfin raptor? The deck has always piqued my interest, figured I'd ask before putting in the hours

I think you guys are playing spirit wrong. it's kind of a must-remove for blue players (save miracles). The goal is the it provides a strong clock against miracles (a deck we have significant difficulty in locking out as is), and that it allows us to maintain a lock against draw-reliant decks. But, it does struggle if it doesn't do its damage/can't do its damage (think of it as a slightly more effective serra avenger against miracles). It also deals with the 3 other cards that help to power the cruise engime (or four): ponder, gitaxian probe, brainstorm. Without those cards, the cruise engine is effectively dead.



Spirit is the answer, not teeg.

psst, guys, Spellskite is nutso against USA spellblade, because most of them aren't running a stupid amount of stupid-name nemesis. It also helps us procure a hard lock against them, which is always something we want to do.

Been lurking for the past twenty pages, and been playing this deck for a little over three months.


For what it's worth, I'm on the Spellskite-Resto game plan

Spellskite

SEE GUYS! SOMEONE GETS IT!

hey guys, I haven't played any legacy (besides online occasionally) in months. I need to get back in shape for SCG Seattle, so would anyone be willing to run gauntlets with me x days a week? Cockatrice isn't good for running gauntlets without people you can rely on, and I don't own DnT on modo (and value my liver and lungs)

Which is actually a big problem. We have no outs to control matchups besides mangara and (arguably) cataclysm

the dredge winning was a fluke, I feel. Bay area has a lot of weird combo decks just floating around for no reason (besides that people like to play them). I highly doubt dredge will show up at the GP (in force, that is)

If my spellskite dies, I don't care. It is a significantly better trade than thalia, revoker, or spirit.

Literally just better. Blocks more things, doesn't give up permanent/card advantage. Protects our sideboard cards.

I still feel like skite is the better of the othermoms.

spellskite is better mom because it stops jitte, and is colourless (less dependant on mana that is usually employed through use of cavern of souls)

More thinking about 2x resto, rather than 3 (3 seems like overkill to me, as someone who occasionally PLAYED pod. Cruise ruined modern for me :/)

What's the point of it, though?



Also, yet again @Medea: is 24 lands necessary for the resto plan?

worded wrong:



what about 4x revoker and 2x spirit?

@medea, the more I think about your list, the more I like it. What were your thoughts on 3x spirits and 3x revoker? Would you have rather done 4x and 2x?
