We have no R&B list. But we are cheap a** broke middle aged men so the nastiest you are going to see is >1 Sol Rings. Our card collections just dont have the power level to warrant a R&B list.
if you splash W you can get the lovely and highly annoying wall of denial which I would say is better than Fog Bank. <cough> That could open the door for Island Sanctuary <hacking cough>
A buddy runs Spellskite at 4x and oh man it is annoying!
I can only speak to my meta, and if a fog bank is the only resilient blocker you have, and you are thinning everyones deck I think you will would indeed see removal pointed at him.
I've lost games where clones and such have popped my legendaries. It doesn't happen often but enough to give me sad face.
I can't read the original WoTC post (blocked) and I'm fuzzy on the planeswalker rules. Use to be you could have 1 "Jace" regardless of the card name in play on the table at any given time prior to the rule change?
I figured it was a pretty straight forward question. "How does he reanimate Grisle-bro on turn 2 every game?"
My answer, which takes a bit more reading between the lines, was the tech is definetly out there to garauntee a turn 1-2 pitch and animate...both legal and pseudo budget. Just a matter of wise mulligan to ensure you have Grisle-bro in your starting 7.
If I missed the boat maybe we should speak more better so as not to confuse me.
I'm not getting 2-for-1'd in the process and I'm not adding extremely marginal combo cards to my decks to support them. That's where you're making a mistake in my opinion.
Dead draw and 2-for-1 are definetly the risk. If the same extra abilities as curiosity and sigil of sleep were to be found on an equipment that would be the bees knees.
Just about all of that is true. I was elliminated while my other opponent promptly one-shotted the infect player next turn. Kingmaking if i ever saw it.
As far as the rest of the table keeping the pressure on, it usually goes down in our group like this:
Player A: infect
Player B: competative deck, gaining lots of life, superior board state
Player C through Zerpa: "Player B is too tough for us, lets let the infect guy kill him." <throws removal at player B's creature board, leaves each other alone>
Player a: <deals 10 infect dmg to Player B>
Player C through Zerpa: Die infect person!
In last nights game, I was player B with 7 allies in play and 96 life points.
I have not made the updates to the decklist at this time but I we had our weekly game last night. It was a sweeper-light game and I got my tush handed to me by flying/unblockable infect and proliferate.
Brillow, I've noticed the same thing about Gutter and Lobber sharing the 3 cmc slot, but I don't understand how
Goblin Matron
alleviates the situation, does she not just fight over the same slot and provide less value on the board?
Honestly, it doesn't. I should have made it seem like 2 separate thoughts, sorry about that. In a cantrip light deck I was concidering her just as a tuitor and chump blocker thereafter. However, Carom kinda hinted that the better option is to:

Also, while strickly worse than No Mercy, I have seen Dissipation Field used effectively to stifle some aggro.
I second the Mindcrank / Duskmantle Guildmage combo but only as an alternate wincon (pesky eldrazi tend to hose mill).
They talked about Djinn of Wishes and how it wont let you play the card if you've already "used up" your land play for that turn.
Would this also apply to Genesis Wave?

ooooh, i love reanimater!
I want to guess before it's spoiled!
Turn 1: mana producers (swamp, mox, lotus, etc), cast Funeral Charm/Cry of Contrition/Blackmail et al pitching Grisel-bro to the yard.
Turn 2: Land Drop + Exhume/Animate Dead/life//death or some combination of 4cmc reanimates plus a Dark Ritual or additional ramp.
I like the ability to return an angel to play via Defy Death but I'm wondering how much it would really be needed?
I'd drop x2 freeblades and 1x Shapeshifter.

Nothing worse than Trigon of Ragex2 buffed Blighted Agent and me sitting on my thumbs.
If there was a mechanic I would choose to "hate out" against this deck it would be infect. I'm at a loss on how to counter it.
Edit: quick research = Leeches, pariah on Tatterkite, Delaying Shield, a well timed Shining Shoal
