So here was I playing TempoThresh and saying to myself: My Goyf just isn't big enough. This pile lacks synergy. Too many Dazes. I want to play Standstill. I want more creatures.

So, yea, five minutes before the trial, I modified my old TempoThresh list to accomodate Standstills. Guess it worked out pretty well!

Guess Faeries no longer dominates all formats.

Go go go DTrooper. You rock! :D

Found that comment funny because I actually considered playing FaerieStill in the Trial. lol.

Go go go winning in formats that mostly don't really matter to the competitive aspect of the game. ;D

Legacy is boring ...

I 2-0 dropped because I just didn't enjoyed playing in this trial :p

Nice, DTrooper. I would make some room in the sb for the Countertop engine, as it rocks the mirror and combo decks, but your MD looks super good against Merfolk and other creatur-y decks running around. Good show.

by Spyx on 2009-07-25 23:28 EDT

And that's why merfolk should play back to basics side.

by Malakai97 on 2009-07-26 02:54 EDT

Nah Rotsejn, legacy isn't boring at all, it's just that the ML meta is pretty terrible.

by Malakai97 on 2009-07-26 02:59 EDT

I wouldn't play Back to Basics. It costs too much mana--you'd have to sideboard out lords for it.

by cram320 on 2009-07-26 03:10 EDT

You wouldnt side out some lords for a card that just wins you the game... ur bad

by DTrooper on 2009-07-26 07:29 EDT

Back to Basics doesn't win you the game right there - it has to fight through a ton of counters and doesn't sweep the table. Taking out lords for it is similar to a concession if B2B doesn't resolve.

Thanks, CalebD. I will surely try out the CounterTop engine in the side to see how it goes.
