I would love to say I could come to a tourney out there.  Problem is that it is quite a drive ... and while  would love to play, 12+ total hours of driving for a magic game is a tad much.  Maybe if there is some other events out there I could justify the trip to the wife.

I will continue to corrupt the young Magic players out here and attempt to drag them into T-1.

I know this thread is a tad old, but any updates?

I just moved to San Angelo Texas this past week.  I had a decent Vintage group in the Tucson/Phoenix area, but I have moved so... yeah.


Anyone in the central/west Texas area up fr some 10 proxy?  Maybe we can get something started?  Drop me a line or reply or something!

Well, in the  build reaperbong mentioned only a mox Jet and a mox Sapphire was used. your lands are 4 deltas, 4 Underground Seas, 4 basics.  So... unless you get a basic land with same color Mox you would be fine in the situation you mentioned. I guess my thought process is -- in a build where producing the two colors needed for the card is producible with almost all mana combinations: why wouldn't you run it?  Does the difficulty producing a color vs colorless out weigh the chances for the slim victory?  I would think definitely run it if you are running Dark Confidants or some other utility/little beat stick.  I have found (course this is with my  deck) I was beating on opponents with mox monkeys and the like during control fights... 2-8 additional damage would have won me a few games.  Obviously if you are running Tri color or the like it would be a poor choice, or in Reaperbong's meta with the mana hate fetching a basic could pose an issue... of-course you would just fetch the opposing land to your mox.  The second drawback would be a lack of ability to play Manadrain on turn one as well if you only have two opposing mana sources.  Was just a thought, I will try it out at some point and see how it works.

I have been playing Control Slaver for years and now switching over to Tezz since it seems to be my play style and a touch quicker.

I also like Negate, however, with Countersquall out there, I have been throwing around the idea of tossing it in.  Same effect with -2 life for a black instead of a colorless.  While the loss of life is negligible and in T-1... I have had the capability to throw a black out there in place of the colorless every time.  Is it worth it?  Obviously a poor choice if you are doing a tri-color build but for UB... would make sense IMO.
