Eternal Formats / Creative / Re: Thoughtseize v.s. Duress

I play three Thoughseizes and two Duress in any deck I ever build, you need this disruption if you play black. I believe thoughtseize is better on so many levels now because of welders and fish decks running around to take a creature is sometimes the better play, and with brainstorm out of the picture its even better now. Thats what I play in my decks, just a thought

Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / Fish decks on the rise?

Am I the only one who thinks this to be true. I have been noticing alot of change in the format. Seeing fish become more popular these days and Tezz ruling the Metagame. TPS still doing damage and utter brokenness. So anyone else think fish decks are on the rise or just more people are playing vintage on a budget?

I guess on retrospect it would mostly be the pure brokenness of the format. It leads to a ton of fun in games, even in the long ones. That and I got sick of trying to stay on the Standard treadmill.
If I were to be putting the money I am saving by not playing Standard into a bank account specifically for power and duals I should be able to have a full set of each in just under two years. That to me says I was spending way too much time, money, and energy on a format that is very fleeting at best.
I totally agree with you about standard, I'm just at the point where I have been playing for so long that I can play both. Since were allowed 10 proxies I can practically build anything with a set of duals, fetches, and FOW's. |

Vintage Community Discussion / General Community Discussion / Why you play vintage?

So this morning I woke up and asked myself why do I play Vintage. I was wondering if it is the use of the old cards, the pure brokenness of the format, or just it simply appeals to me the most. I later realized it is the pure brokenness of the format and how a turn can last 20 mins and still not be board of playing. So I am here to ask all of you, why do you play vintage?

I was wondering if anyone has a Tezz Oath list floating around, because I am very interested in building it as one of my vintage decks. If anyone could provide me a list and advice on the deck that would be great.

I would cut the Chants from your deck and add Master of Etherium would be the only difference I would make to the deck, other than that it looks pretty solid. |

What cards do you name against the current metagame with Meddling Mage? I was just curious what people would say against TPS, Tez, Painters, Stax, etc. So if you would please share your advice or experience's with Meddling Mage.

Well looking at the current decks, the metagame is really there for me, I just don't know if I'll run into more combo or Tezz control/ Workshop decks. I guess it is really personal preference.

Eternal Formats / Creative / Kataki or Cannonist

Which one should be maindecked in U/W Fish Kataki or Cannonist? I feel the Cannonist makes you have more control of the game but tougher decisions to make when playing. Kataki makes you pay one for your null rod every turn but if you play kataki there going to sac there moxes anyway since u have null rod out. So which one is truly better?

Eternal Formats / Creative / Spell Snare?
|
on: October 09, 2008, 12:13:06 pm
|
|
Does anyone think spell snare needs to be maindecked in the current metagame? I mean with all the great two drops out anymore being played such as Oath, Bob, Grunt, Goyf,Jitte, Piledraver, etc. Is it really a card to be played in the maindeck or sideboard. Honestly I have no idea if I should even run it as maindecked. I see it being played in Tezzeret control, I was wondering if it has a place in U/W fish maindecked. Please tell me what you think.

This is my first post on the forum, I was wondering if anyone could help me improve my U/W fish decklist. U/W Fish Creatures: 4 Meddling Mage 4 Ninja of the Deep Hours 3 Kataki, War's Wage 3 Jotun Grunt 2 Isamaru, Hound of Konda 2 Savannah Lions Spells: 4 Force of Will 3 Daze 3 Null Rod 3 Stifle 3 STP 3 Echoing Truth 1 Ponder 1 Brainstorm 1 Recall 1 Time Walk Mana: 1 Sapphire 1 Pearl 1 Black Lotus 4 Flooded Strand 4 Tundra 4 Wasteland 2 Island 1 Plains 1 Strip Mine SB: 4 Leyline of the Void 3 Ethersworn Canonist 3 Energy Flux 3 Negate 2 Umezawa's Jitte Any advice would be appreciated, I am really not looking to splash any other colors at this time. Sideboard and Maindeck is what I really want to work on right now and stick to the U/W Hello, and welcome to The Mana Drain! While we appreciate newer users posting their decks and looking for feedback, we do ask that new threads contain more content than just a decklist, to provide a better jumping-off point for the discussion. For example, you might explain why you chose particular cards, or if there are specific matchups you want the deck to do better in. Please take a moment to review the site rules to avoid this issue going forward. We look forward to your future contributions. -DA |
