I love this thread so much because even though Monkey Grow isn’t even on MTGGoldfish’s metagame list anymore, this is still the most active thread in this Modern forum. I hope we find a way to continue this discourse!!
Some of us (for sure Blaze, Grindor and myself, sorry if I missed someone else) are already on a delver discord server (the one on which we have been invited by Grindor 11 some time ago). If we move "en masse" there we may be able to create a sub channel only for temur. In any case I'll keep posting here until I'm able.
And I'll wait also for "the new home" the mods have said are building. Maybe we can just continue there.
(Just please don't move to facebook. I know it's a very selfish request, but I don't have it and don't want to sign up there.)
Would you be willing to share the server link, or is it a more private server?
Thank you for the great response! All you choices are well reasoned and eloquently expressed. I think I might run two Spell Snare just because my local meta has a lot of decks that are heavy in two drops.
Does Hooting Mandrills ever feel awkward? Does it feel bad in multiples? Does it ever interfere with Tarmogoyf ?
Quite like the list, but have few questions:
It’s been said that 14 creatures is the sweet spot for RUG delver. Do you agree with this? If you had to remove one copy of a creature, which would it be, or do you feel like the numbers are too tight to change anything?
Did you have any issues between Hexdrinker and Deprive, given that Deprive can set you back lands and Hexdrinker wants lands out?
How set in stone is the counter suite? Could Spell Snare have any merit? Would you play any more or less Force of Negations in the side or main?
Finally, why slight of hand over Serum Visions?
Sorry for the slew of questions, I’m just excited over this archetype, I made this account just to reply to this post.
