Goblins primarily, and also ETW tokens. Occasionally useful against some other deck, such as killing the elves in a green deck or naming Cleric against certain WW builds (shadow creatures + MoR). I suppose it could be useful against Bigger Fish, killing Confidants and turning Finkels off.

If those are your main concerns, it seems like Propaganda or Ghostly Prison would be more effective.

So this asks the question, "is it control that's dead, not combo?"
7  Vintage Community Discussion / Non-Vintage / Re: Preliminary Statistics Results on: October 26, 2005, 02:07:12 pm
Then why is it labeled "non-Landstill control"?

Creating a new archetype for one deck is fairly pointless.

But it's not for one deck; that's the point. Flame-Vault, Trix, Tog, and some builds of Aluren and Reanimator all theoretically fit into the category.

"Considering it seems to fall into the "beat aggro but lose to control" category, it fits with control." 

Not to nick pits, but control is supposed to lose to aggro and beat combo. Theoretically. As an arche-type generalization, it's not possible that it loses to itself.

Quote
Similarly, I'd call my Gifts list Control, Stax Vault Control, and Veggie's list Combo.  It's about the gameplan.

And I'm telling you, the game plan is a mix between control and combo. Against other control decks, it's a slower combo deck, not a control deck. It also uses a combo finish, which is different than straight up control.

I should point out that Enchantress is more accurately labeled Control-Combo. Given that the Control-Combo arche-type seems to have developed a fan club of late I don't see why it shouldn't be a category.

MWC solidly beats both Goblins and Landstill. The problem is that I'd expect a fair amount of Solidarity as well.

Do you want a fucking cookie, or are you just in the habit of posting spam?

You're a fine one to talk:

2. Inflammatory Posts
and
4. Lack of Content:

Related point (c): Do not post in threads which will obviously be locked. It is essentially spam to post about how you "wonder how long this'll be open" or other such comments. If you are not a moderator, don't try to police the boards for rules violations. The best you can do is report the useless post and just move along.

You can assume that also applies to replying to posts that obviously shouldn't have been posted.
