So, what's with this bg discard gaining popularity all of a sudden?

---

by KrovikanMist on 2007-07-06 07:01 MDT

Bg discard seems good but it needs something to have a betther matchup against gruul/zoo/monored

LOL. FAIL!

That's why i dont like TarmoRack it has a very shaky aggro matchup. If your going to nationals, YOU.MUST.BEAT.GRUUL

---

by Shivan1 on 2007-07-06 12:27 MDT

Shaky aggro matchup? I don't see how the discard lost to that gruul list - tarmogoyf should dominate and after board you have 4 deathmarks and another putrefy. No excuses.

---

by ChuckNorris on 2007-07-06 12:34 MDT

Aggro is actually the deck's very best matchup.

---

by nasa on 2007-07-06 13:40 MDT

wow
no goyf in gruul. what were its match ups cause i see no way how keldon maraders>goyf

---

by aldaryn on 2007-07-06 15:27 MDT

if you're going to nationals, i'd expect more mono red than gruul. don't forget that kird ape is gone soon, and so is circle of protection: red, and mogg fanatic/incinerate are back. i'd definitely say mono red is the aggro deck of choice, although g/w glare or goyf might show up with rule of law in and seething song out.

I lost to 3char.dec,go me =[

Actually b/g goyfrack was a deck created for the pittsburgh regionals that was very prominent and top 8ed a lot there and was later posted on starcity by Nick Eisel who was one of the ones playing it out of about 10 I would say so it originated way before it placed third in the last tourny.

Congratis Shooter, \o/

by ChuckNorris on 2007-07-07 02:37 MDT

I was the creator of said Pittsburgh deck. I came in 9th with it. Eisel did not run it, he audibled to dredge the night before for some reason and went 4-2. Chris Ripple (guy who qualified with it) ran my list, as did Chris Hartman (who ripple beat in the top 8). My friend running the deck came in 10th with it, and another friend finished in prizes with the deck. 40 percent of the top 10 was my BG rack build, and it is now basically the best deck in the format.

I guess I'm just salty because I get no credit for missing Top 8 on tiebreakers, haha.

---

by rDMKZVrX on 2007-07-07 08:08 MDT

best deck if you dont play againist aggro.

---

by KrovikanMist on 2007-07-07 11:04 MDT

u mean bg discard is best against all nonaggro decks?

anyways is tarmogoyf replaeceable with nihilith?
2 mana both basically for the same PT

---

by ChuckNorris on 2007-07-07 11:31 MDT

BG destroys aggro. Its worst matchup is Dralnu.

---

by TybudX on 2007-07-07 12:14 MDT

Sure, you can replace Tarmogoyf with Nihilith... it's called MBC.

---

by Rahxephon on 2007-07-07 12:24 MDT

BG discard has an easy matchup vs agroo (means gruul), if u are not able to defeat gruul with this deck, maybe u should learn to play magic. Besides, this deck can win even without sided anything, it has enough cards to make the gruul matchup difficult enough, smallpox, the rack, funeral, tarmogoyf (difficult to pass through it), putrefy and augur.

---

by BusDriver on 2007-07-07 12:35 MDT

why not run a tombstalker or 2 in the BG disc decks?

---

by BusDriver on 2007-07-07 12:36 MDT

and maybe treetop village

---

by pwnz on 2007-07-07 14:20 MDT

Tombstalker is tech in aggro mu's...

I mean I love taking 8 damage off of Confidant.

---

by _SM0KE_ on 2007-07-07 14:36 MDT

tombstalker causes goyf to grow

use 4 of them MD

---

by BusDriver on 2007-07-07 15:26 MDT

If u use 2, the dmg possibility from confidant is rather low. It's the same as hit-run, which was also played. And vs control/combo u don't even need to care so much, vs aggro tombstalker is a house.

If you still have gyof by the time u play tombstalker, things should already be in the pocket, and your opponent should already have a lot of card types in the yard as well meaning you can probabely remove ur entire graveyard, give or take 1/2 cards, without hurting ur gyof.

---

by TNT_69 on 2007-07-07 16:09 MDT

@smoke
i hope ur being scarcastic

and tombstalker is that good in this deck

---

by Alpha_n1 on 2007-07-08 11:17 MDT

tombstalker + confidant = sinergy

tombstalker + goyf = sinergy

xD

---

by toothnail on 2007-07-10 15:49 MDT

where does hypnotice specter fit in in this deck?
