    Kikurek I added you to modo to talk but it seems you just block me, if you want to talk im Fosprey
    I find the deck quite good and im doing excellent with it I played so far 6 tourneys 3x 4-0 1 3-1 1 1-2 and 1 0-2 So im 16-5 in matchups. I don´t remember since when I did so well iwth a deck. I feel good vs every matchup except affinity and pod. What can be done to improve those matchups, and would like to see your sb plan vs pod.

  • posted a message on [Primer] Wx Death and Taxes
    I´ve been doing very well with Death and taxes, which I did choose because I like metagames and I think it has the tools to have advantage vs the two more pop decks. (burn and delver) while having nice games vs the remaining metagame.
    I don´t know how to post lists as everydoes here (someone can tell me) so i will post my last published list
    http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/251113#online

    My current differences with that list is that now I removed akroma, cloudshifts and sword of fire and ice, for 4x honor of the pure. Also now i removed 1 dryad for a burrenton, and the 3 blade splicers for 3 finks.

    As I expected Burn and delver are good matches. My loses come mainly from Twin decks, which I lost most of my confrontations. I would like to know how can I improve that match. Is the only matchup so far I feel, that at least with my build is negative. But I don´t know how to improve it.

    Graffdigger cage is worthless vs Living end.

    Yes, I was looking for more answer that stop scapeshift from even developing, imagine something like Ankh of mishra.
    It seems tectonic edge is actually good, but i run only plains. Nevermore is interesting.

    The thing is, every deck is going to have ways of dealing with your hate if they want to win. The decks can just as easily remove the other cards you're offering, too, which is why we don't judge things as "dies to removal."


    What i offered though was maindeck cards. if I´m just add sb to do nothing, then I may as well add nothing.
    Grafdigger stop pod and chord of calling, where rest in peace does ...nothing?.

    If it´s not as good, why run it at all?. Again I fail to see what the card does that is better than a maindeck card.

    I wasn't aware that Twin did anything other than its combo that was scary.

    The deck wins through pure card advantage a lot.

    I guess the important point, sb vs scapeshift that is good, just doesn´t exist much, since leyline is rather weak, close to useless.

    On supression field, I never use it on sb, I rarely see that it does more than other card, vs pod sometimes it does some, sometimes it does barely nothing. It´s even worse than just stony silence at shutting down pod. And If i want sb vs pod, I prefer gravedigger cage.
    Vs Twin i find it terrible, it only shut downs the combo, nothing else, and they can just return it to hand if they really want, I prefer a soul warden which is more versatile, or basically any maindeck card. It gets completly overshadowed by stony silence vs tron and affinity.

    I find my hardest matchup is by far Scapeshift. I feel the deck can´t disrupt it in anyway and they easily can hold enough to draw half the deck or more, and just scapeshift ftw. What are good sb options against it? Aven mindscensor is weak one, since they have tons of creature removal but i guess is the best one? what else there is?

  • posted a message on Ev of 64 player draft in vintage masters
    I generally use Magic ev site to know the EV of tournaments. But for some reason there isn´t a value for 64 player draft. Someobody has a rough idea of it´s value compared to the Sealed in released queues counterpart?

    Definitly not even on the same park. Many of the idea of artifact destruction is to comeback of one or more big robots. Sometimes they go out of hand. You will find too many times where drown in sorrows doesn´t kill anything relevant, it also kills your elf which is not good news. I would never run drown in sorrows.

    Oh, I missed all the posts before, yes Fosprey is my account i have 8 accounts, because the stupid system of QP , you get a promo on 15 QP but after that you don´t get more promos, so it´s ideal to open a new account and get another 15 QP. I asked two times to change the system so i can use only one account.

    About gitaxian probe I really see why you would want to have those. I really can see justification to get them in there, And maybe for many metas that is the right build, vs many of the UR matchups knowing your opponent hand is brutal (in others doesn´t matter much, and not worth the 2 life). I will say that i can see why you would remove blessing, since it also cost 2 life. But the short story is that blessing is TOO good in the deck. If i would cut something i would cut rancor, might or Vines. Rancor is in many matchups a bad card, I only play 4 because in many matchups is actually very hard to win without it (burn, fairies, merfolk, Soul sisters, Death and taxes, tokens), but in others is crap.

    Magnus I think the deck is good and gave me good results, but Burn and affinity are very popoular right now, losing so much vs affinity (my winrate right now, is a problem, but beating burn was one of the strenghts of the deck, I want to find something without Blue or black that beat affinity and burn, (which seems hard). If i find nothing or burn numbers go down or you you people find a way to use 11 SB slots to beat affinity 65% of games post board or some less slots and something around 60% is ok too, I will return to monogreen infect. I failed at that, I played the dailies with 4 creeping corrosion and 4 nature claim and I still felt weak to affinity.

    Here is the thing, there are the matchups I want to improve, Burn, Affinity and BG, they ar very bad. The only space I want to use of SB is 4 dismember, because i need it against meliria pod, if you can use those 11 slots to make 2 of those 3 matchups 60% post sb, plz tell me so.

    I played 2 dailies with monogreen infect after the premier. I went 0-4 I lost vs 2 burn, 1 Affinity and 1 UWR. A) I'm tired of losing vs affinity B) Burn used to be a good matchup. Well, not anymore. Eidolon of great reveal is basically game. If a burn player has that card in the deck the matchup has become atrocious since is basically RR, infect player loses the game.
    For that reason I will walk off Monogreen infect for a while.

    I played other premier and i went 5-0 in the rounds this time, amazingly beating 2 BG decks. But i got affinity AGAIn on the brackets and despite this time i got 7 anti artifact cards. I draw zero of them and a single spellskite from him spelled gg. My record vs affinity is really terrible.
    Both games he won, won in the same way, he dropped spellskite, and i couldn´t do a damn about it. SEcond game i finally draw a artifact destroyer, and i had my only creature down, he proceeded to kill it in response, and i never draw a creature in the following 5 turns, that was my only creture of the game.

    I decided I won´t play the monoblack for reasons that are long to explain and have nothing to do with the issue at hand or it´s power level.
    Ive been playing more the monogreen infect, i played the first premier and went 0-2 drop. I lost against a Balance deck (impossible match if you ask me, at least how he drew), and Affinity. Now i joined a new premier, I hope I have more luck on it.

    plague stinger is really unexciting to me, sure if i would splash black i would play it, but it´s a really weak push to the black side. Btw on the reporting side on my first daily after a long time i did pull a 3-0-Split, Why did i leave the coozy hands of the green infect....
