What's with the resurgence of Bomberman...did it somehow get better? I don't see any new tech in the md's...

Bomberman is just a fun deck, and since this is ML, maybe people play more fun decks than tier 1 decks.

I don't get how you can have a 5-color stax deck and NOT run Reaper King

I am so relieved to see a good deck win, knowing M-L's vintage scene. Seriously, kudos.

Staxx is a Tier2.5 deck actually, i'm playing Bomberman for two years and won a RL tournament with it RL and I would have won if I hadnt dropped because of time.
Bomberman defeats many Tier1 Decks in the current meta and historical metagames, i play it for 1 1/2 years intensly now.

I never said it was tier one, I said it was good. Many tier decks shouldn't be played simply because they're easy to metagame against.

5 color stax, on the other hand, is always a good deck.

Bomberman's a good deck too, but it has too many iffy matchups for me. Oath, stax, random null rod sui, etc. I just think Painter's Grind is better protected. Not that I'm an expert on Bomberman, mind you. I've only played against the deck.

painters grind is worse agaisnt stax and agaisnt decks with ancient grudge. i think its better vs oath as oath has a blessing md that you have to play around. null rod is better vs painters grind also. bomberman is rly underrated i find.

A pity I had no time to play the trial. The staxx list look pretty ok and yes bomberman could t8 because of so many people playing fun decks (dragon oath / ad nausea etc...) or dont have decent sb.

I still think PVs list should have won! :)

---

by CalebD on 2008-10-15 04:08 EDT

Gypsy: It's also better against oath because of more subtle things, like fewer md creatures/more actual countermagic/ more potential answers to oath, etc.

I disagree on null rod decks. Painter decks have no trouble at all with a null rod, they simply drop painter and find a REB. Bomberman loses EE, its best removal for null rod, and a lot more mana sources/cycling effects (depending on builds) than the painter deck has. Really, it's dependent on beatdown or finding a bounce spell at that point.

Against ancient grudge (actually a very good sb card in the ML meta) then you're right, bomberman is more resilient.
