    How are people liking the one of keranos in the main? I just added a batterskull to the SB as for the aggro matchups I feel like the life gain is very relevant.

    4. Thoughts on Stirring Wildwood over the Temple of Plenty?Tempo is a huge deal in this deck, so lands that enter the battlefield tapped can hurt us a lot. If I were to play lands that enter the battlefield tapped, it would definitely be [card »Stirring Wildwood[/card], and it would be just a single one. I wouldn't touch Temple of Plenty with a stick, I don't think the scry 1 is anywhere near worth it in this particular deck.




    This is a great point, I've been testing around with the W/u version of the deck and had serum visions in it at first.
    Good in theory but every time I drew I wished it was just gas instead.

    A very key thing to remember in this deck is that its entirely held together by its synergy, its not a deck that has a bomb, or even that much flexibility in its core choices. So many of our cards are kinda meh on their own. But T2 thalia, into T3 arbiter + ghost quarter is a very very powerful play.

    in short answer, it depends.

    Vs aggro match-ups, its not great.

    vs more combo or control matchups he is an absolute house.

    I will probably go down one geist and add in a scaab ruinator or 2.

    Howdy guys, so this is the blue splash, the sideboard is still up in the air, and I might go down a geist. The clique in the main is pretty awesome when paired with the blink effects. Also was thinking of adding in a sower of temptation or a venser.

    the mana is ok but could use some work, any help is welcome!



    Also I just had a 4c zoo player rage quit on me when I went:

    T1 judges
    T2 thalia
    T3 leonin arbiter + ghost quarter

    That was pretty satisfying...

    Was also thinking of adding in the eidolon of rhetoric main deck... maybe in place of a geist

    Yah, I think you might be right about the geists. I originally had it as a geist + steel of the godhead deck, with some enchantment tutors, but it felt too slow against agro, which seems to be more of a thing, particularly with slivers being as strong as they are now. Snappy was fantastic when a path was in the yard, generating a huge tempo advantage with aether vial, but kinda bleh otherwise. The cliqe was pretty awesome, and the mana was fine, but I haven't tested it against a bloodmoon deck yet. I have not tried the moorland hunt yet, but I will certainly now. I'll do a little more testing/brewing tonight and get back.

    I might up the resto count tonight and add in acroma and eidolon. More updates later!

    So I've been brewing recently with this deck adding a blue splash for Geist of St.Traft, Snapcaster, and Clique. I'll post my list later tonight, but so far its been pretty good. A house against combo and other mid-rangy decks. But struggles against more agro plans quite a bit. Like I said, list to follow this evening.

    So a final update, after waiting and opening a case with consumer affairs the seller issued me a refund. Sad that usps couldn't find the package, but very thankful to have dealt with such a good seller.

    Welp, guess I'm back in the market for some tundras...

    I have to admit that was my first time catching Chapin live. I gotta say the man is hilarious. As someone else mentioned, I think its great to toss him in once in a while but I think I could get tired of his humor if it was on weekly. Much enjoyed the old school knowledge he was dishing out too.


    I totally agree with this. Watching the stream in its entirety over a week or so, I get kinda tired with Chapin.

    But if I'm just watching a match or two that he is commentating in isolation, he is so hysterical and entertaining to listen too.

    From the Richmond gp, this match Dickman's commentating is awesome.

    Very nice ritual off the top. Sweet moment.

    So... Joe Pynch just cast a Supreme Verdict with 1 white mana, on camera to boot and no one noticed.

    Did everyone think it was UU and not WW?



    caught that one also. I think this game would have been very very different if someone saw that error.

    Hey thanks for the responses all. I've opened a case with usps, and gotten a call from the sending post office, to which they said they will just check the tracking, still waiting on a call from my post office.

    The seller has been very cooperative with this, sending me a picture of the signature confirmation receipt. Idunno if I should call the shipping post office again to have them check again for the package? As it says "accepted" Im almost positive that this means it is lost somewhere in the original post office and hasn't been sent out yet.
