And more importantly, Goblin Burrows and Skarrg replacing Waste/Port. I have no idea how such a bad Goblin list got to 2nd place.

HdH_Cthulhu dropped after round 4.
I played mono U control, storm, dredge, dredge, goblins.
The mill dec seems quite nice and most opponents didnt have blessings in the maindeck, so g1 was always fast and easy.

I thought Vexing Shusher would be more used in Legacy because of the abundance of blue decks. Why don't people try it, or is it that bad?

by SOAD on 2008-06-24 19:35 MDT

it comes into play but is never really used to play something, o will die instantly, basicaly does nothing.

by beule on 2008-06-24 19:49 MDT

i thought i included that in my post ..
it was fine, but if people play stuff like tin-street hooligans and crap it can get messy :)

by Conkisstador on 2008-06-24 19:59 MDT

missed that. selective sight. when you look as good as me you need to filter thru the raff amongst the chicas.

"@3rd Deck: Good Luck without Blessings in the SB"

Painter decks are no where near big enough that blessing is an auto-include in SBs. They've been having some moderate success of late, but are no where near the point of making every SB start with 1 Gaea's Blessing.

---

by Conkisstador on 2008-06-25 00:37 MDT

but its ONE blessing. theres no reason NOT to have 1 in the board

---

by Brodie on 2008-06-25 05:25 MDT

Will all the people calling everyone else awful kindly shutup? Note that the people you call awful and the decks that you call junk are in the top 3. Rarely do I see someone calling out another player/deck's name anywhere near the top 3.

Frequently, there are players who test their real life cards vs. just the "best options" on Magic-League and top 3 with it.

Whether or not that's the case here is irrelevant. You know what's more productive than calling out other players that did well? Doing well yourself. That and learning to talk to women.

by Eldariel on 2008-06-25 06:37 MDT

Sure there is. Every sideboard slot is very valuable. Besides, why bother with an "OMG" backup plan? It's not hard to stop the combo in the first place.

---

by georgjorge on 2008-06-25 11:16 MDT

@beule: Seeing the decks you played against, was it really the combo that actually won those matchups, or was it just the strength of CBalance/Top and Crypt (versus Dredge) ?

Also, what's up with playing a 2-color deck (with a third color in the side) but a 5-color manabase ?

Go PonzaFreak! Team Jacois&Friends rulez!

Lifelace ftw

EE at 5 are so cute... Joking, but its reallythe only point I can find, and it's horrible cause you'll want explosives at 3 MAX, and he's only running 1+3 Tinkers.

by Ownj00 on 2008-06-25 12:27 MDT

i lost to ponza round 3, i was playing UGr dreadstill and both games we ended up with me around 20, him under 5, me with dreadnaught in hand and top in play, him with 4/5 lands, vial, and no hand.

both times he ripped matron or ringleader and both ringleaders hit 3/4 guys immediately. i saw 9 or 10 dazes/lands both times. complete bs. i had 4/5 turns both games, and more then half the deck were outs for me. one of biggest sac jobs i've ever been a part of.

---

by ZeKo on 2008-06-25 13:32 MDT

I just didnt look at his side before... Ponza uses Lifelace for? And plays Word of Binding with what mana?

---

by PonzaFreak on 2008-06-25 18:58 MDT

After taking a hiatus from the game I am recently returning I played around darksteel to before Time spiral. My list is unorthodox because it was from legacy decks I had before TSP even came out, in an unknown meta. Hence the random cards I'm sure. I don't know why Ownj00 got all huffed up about me drawing well. He didn't seem to mind when the 2 other ringleaders I played during those games hit no goblins at all. Karma sorry, so please stop being bad mannered as it's just a game.

---

by KillemallCFH on 2008-06-25 20:50 MDT

Random is one thing. Literally uncastable (Word of Binding) and utterly useless (Lifelace) is another thing.

EDIT: I just looked through all the decklists from this trial. I lol'd.

---

by beule on 2008-06-26 17:26 MDT

I won vs dredge with crypt + permission + knowing dredge decks + combo + stifle etc.
I like how you can sb in goyfs and become kind of a blue permission deck, the permission is what makes that combo deck really strong.
I got the game under control and could wait for the combo pieces to appear in my top and then finish them off =) I like that kind of decks.

by HdH_Cthulhu on 2008-06-27 08:21 MDT

lol i droped and go top 3
