Yeah that BB on Tombstalker is a problem sometimes. I've noticed that.
I would love to play with Tarmo's more, but I don't own them myself. I can borrow them sometimes though. Darn expensive card and never should've sold my entire collection some years ago. (yeah I started playing the game again :P)
Grixis Twin really got me interested. Like i've posted a couple of days ago the tests matches were interesting. I hope to play some more different decks this week.
I will also test with Tasigur this week. Probally should arrive in the mail today or tomorrow. Luckally I brought them couple of days ago. The card is on the rise price wise. (allmost 10EU now on MCM. I brought them for less than 2EU)
UWR Twin with Geists is also something I want to look into. I've had succes with UWR Twin before and I like the white cards you can add main and SB.
Tested Grixis vs. Junk/Jund/BGW today. Some pretty interesting matches.
Tombstalker (2 main) was nice, murderous cut was nice. The discard works nice vs A.Decay. However I'm not conviced yet. I had succes with UWR Twin in the past and I will certainly test it out.
By the way, Keranos was great! For sure in the SB, may even test 1 main.
@ jbclarke, that part was too long allmost didn't read. Use some space in your text, makes a better read.
Recently I've done some testing with Blue Moon vs Hatebears.
It's a weird matchup indeed. My 2 shackles, 3 electrolize do help a lot. Keranos was also a huge help since it won me a game by killing some of his key-creatures and another game by burning him just in time. (thx serum visions)
He played 4 ghostquarters and 2 tec.edges which was a bit of a pain but it also slowed him down luckily.
Obviously the Vials were doing work since it made my counters bit useless in many cases but it made it very clear what I had to SB in/out.
Threads always gets a big Tarmo where Shackles doesn't.
Shackles possibly has a wider range... I play Shackles and sometimes a threads too if I know the meta.
I love this deck. It was my first Twin deck build. It suprised many players since they thought I was UWR Control/ UWR Flash. I didn't play cryptic command at that time. Everybody thought I was and played around it.
Last couple of months I play UR Twin. Bit faster, bit stronger against certain matchup. However I'm thinking about sleeving up the UWR version again. I just like the options white gives us, especially in the SB and also looking at the (local) meta.
Luckally I have all the cards for all different Twin decks so I can play around a bit. (All-in, UWR, UR Tempo and other UR builds) It also keeps the people at my local game store guessing
Currently I have my deck with 4 ensoul, 4 blasts, 2 thoughtcast. The ensouls over the Steel Overseers.
I might put in 2 Overseers and -2 blasts. I'll test it first at the upcomming tournaments.
Deck with Wall of Omens. The article isn't too exciting. The UR one was better, with SB plan and all.

That we know. We also know about the Kiki and Kamigawa lands.
We just want to see the full list
Anybody got Owen on twitter and is willing to ask?
This.
Same here.
I know they play Kiki + Minamo, school at water's edge in their list. That little interaction seems nice.
