Are you on the FoS Facebook group? I posted a list there with that plan in mind.

No, I just check this thread from time to time.

Now that twin is banned, maybe a boros shell with restoration and kiki jiki has a real reason to exist. Also eldrazi displacer is a very powerful card that i would like to play, but it heavily conflicts with my inclination towards playing maindeck blood moons XD probably i should just drop moons so...

Toddington

Seems okay in the more aggressive deck you were playing with. FWIW Reid Duke posted a Red Devotion deck with Avaricious Dragon. I commented on his article noting that I liked his deck but didn't like how the Dragon made the Twin matchup a lot worse, and liked his suggestion of maindeck Spellskite t...

How does Skullcrack interact with [card]Angel's Grace[/card]?

Toddington

Assuming you have access to 8, and your opponent is running the standard suite of 14 creatures, how many Searing effects do you want in the mirror? On the play / draw? (Leaving your Eidolons in, them taking theirs out?) With(out) Lightning Helix? Priority to Blaze or Blood? For Game 2 it feels safe ...

I have had good results playing Fallout as the red sweeper of choice. Another creature that you could play to dodge your own sweepers is Plated Geopede (and Steppe Lynx I guess). 5/5 First strike is big enough to tangle with basically all creatures in the format, but even as a 3/3 it's good with bur...

I played Grixis Delver a bit, and absolutely hated Thought Scour'ing my shocklands. This is definitely exacerbated with a three colour manabase. I actually think the removal is the real reason to splash black, not just for Tasigur.

Toddington

Searing blood is great against mana dorks and lingering souls. Worth keeping an eye on if collected company decks become popular.

I'd probably add one (or two) Engineered Explosives to that list. It's a good anti-Artifact/Enchantment option, especially for Grixis. You might wanna add the second Spellskite, I've been really impressed with its versatility. Vedalken Shackles is the obvious Sower replacement, it's probably better ...

Toddington

I like him in blue matchups. If I get two -2's out of him I'm happy, that's usually enough gas. He gains you a fair bit of life too. I think he's probably better than any other CA engine you would want to run, but I could see cutting him for something else.

Toddington

Very valid point, I haven't run into it much to be honest. Pyrite Spellbomb I guess.

Cage doesn't do anything against Living End, creatures enter from Exile, not from the Graveyard. Does it do anything against Storm? If you've spent a card doing nothing, you've just given them time to get Ascension online. Orb doesn't stop Twin or Junk killing you, you have to kill them faster. Orb ...

I expect Rock decks of all flavors to start producing numbers, namely Junk since Rhino is so fucking powerful. In the wake of that, Tron and Scapeshift will begin to prey on the Rock decks (also, Ugin seems to have enthralled the masses right now). Affinity will be the top dog aggro deck again and,...

I was watching Paul Cheon's stream last night, and he was jamming Rwu Burn with Mutagenic Growth . Did anyone get round to testing it? He had Wrapter and Shahar with him, and they were saying about how much they liked it. Another thing was that they had Combust in the 'board. I'm not sure I'd run th...

Toddington

Start as the Kor Firewalker / Sword of Fire and Ice deck, then sideboard into the Isochron Scepter deck when you want to be the control? You wouldn't have to play Magma Jet , because you can also bring in whatever you keep in the board ( Magma Spray , [card]Wear // Tear[/card], Searing Blood , Path ...

Toddington

dat 20/20/20 tho

It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to play Crackling Doom, is it better than Stoke?

Toddington

1) Why is this better than Burn?

Yeah exactly, this is the issue. I feel like RDW is better against Delver than Burn, no idea about the rest of the field. RDW probably gets splash hate at the moment.

Toddington

Is there any reason to play RDW a la Heal at the moment? Burn is obviously decent, but I was just wondering what the best Eidolon of the Great Revel deck is. Mogg Fanatic seems very well positioned against the Delver meta. The most up to date Heal decklist I could find is here: http://magic.wizards....

Toddington

I'd be super interested to hear how the Shenhar list tests, someone will probably get round to it before I can. I'm a huge fan of Geist, seems about the sweetest thing to board into. If the Growth plan isn't good, it seems easy enough to put the Cracks and Blazes into the maindeck and free up some b...

Toddington

I was just noting that she's actually really good against the decks you said she's bad against because she makes your other bad mainboard cards better.

Run more bad cards to make your bad cards better?

Toddington

It's not so much I want the life gain from Helix, it's just a good burn spell. Though saying that, I guess I wouldn't be running Incinerate in UR.

Toddington

I think there's two versions of UR Delver emerging here, Aggro/Burn with Swiftspear, and more similar to the old Aggro/Control with Snapcaster. I'm warming to the white splash, mainly because I want Lightning Helix. The board cards seem great too. With regards to the aggro list, I played with Eidolo...

Toddington

How do the permission-light versions of Delver play out? Obviously they play more burn, but one of the draws to this deck for me is the permission element for combo matchups. Do you still have a good combo matchup by virtue of having a fast clock? The only counterspell I really like is Spell Snare ,...

Toddington

Is everyone comfortable with their manabases? How many untapped lands do we want? Maximum number of painlands? We have 12-16 untapped in this past two pages of lists with a lot of 13/15 builds. You don't want more than 10 tapped lands, but 9 is probably optimal. No more than 6 painlands. I looked a...

Other deck: *sides in Dragon Claw/Spellskite/etc.*
Burn deck: *sides in Geist*

Next. Level. Magic.

Not sure if serious... Did you play those matchups? I have played UR delver a ton before Khans and this is what happens: Vs. Affinity: Their fliers fly over your tokens' heads and you try to race poorly with 1/1 tokens. Vs. Pod: Orzhov Pontiff. Vs. Merfolk: 1/1 Tokens do not race effectively agains...

Interesting note: Three people brought the Tom Ross list to game day. All three went undefeated against Abzan decks but they all couldn't beat green devotion.
