I really think that 22 lands is risk for flooding. With 3 lands in battlefield we can do almost everything, 4 lands we can do anything. If you flood to 6-7 lands in BF it means we lost 3 creatures drops
In my opinion Scooze isn't stompy. This way it should be used only as SB, like I'm doing. I run 4 kalonian tusker in MD and 3 Scooze in SB. Matchs like affinity scooze is useless.
Could anyone who has experience in MTGO and in Stompy give some advices in Sideboarding? By this I mean the general tips that any player must know about SB (how much cards do we take off, mana curve of SBing, etc). And how SBing in stompy, what cards take off agains tron, CoCo, control, aggro, burn....
Thanks, this would create some consistent argumentation! Let's discuss around the most playable SB cards in Stompy: Trun, Natural State, Gut Shot, Dismember, Choke, Pithing Needle, Creeping Corrosion, Deglamer and Feed the Clan!
For me, this is the most consistent list I've ever used. It has 10 drop one, STOMPY CAN'T WIN WITHOUT DROP1. For me 19 lands is enough, and I do not apreciate Treetop Village, it slows our game by entering tapped, I've lost so many games because that mana! Stompy need only 3 Forests in game, and those forests needs to enter untapped. In other view, we cannot flood spells, the lists with 4 dismembers and 4 aspect of hydra is just TOO MUCH NOT CREATURE CARDS, and for us this costs the game. We can not lose the fuel. For me, I'm still waiting for a 2CMC creature card that draw card or speeds our game to replace with Kalonian Tusker (wish that Dark Confidant was green :p).
What do you guys think?
I play with 19 forests, 0 treetops and 0 leatherback. With 12 drop 1 (4 dryad, 4 E1 and 4 young wolf). In my opinion this is the best list so far to stompy
I don't know you guys, but I'll for sure test Hermit of the Natterknolls. This card has a great potential to put some fuel again on mid-late game. I think it can be very very interesting
I've been playing with Stompy the past 2 years. I'm using 11 drop 1 (4 E1, 4 dryad, 3 young wolf). With my experience I'd say that in the 70% of the games that I do not play a drop1 creature in T1, I realize that the game is lost.
Today I played a small modern tournament (17 players), won against burn and against zoo, lost agains UW eldrazi, elves company and Utron. Since the Utron is playing with Chalice of the Void and Spallskite on MD, it's almost impossible to win. Against eldrazi is not that hard, we only need to have dismembers (I run with 4 MD) and Vines (always run with 4).
But I came here to do some questions. What is the best draw we can get when the game is really tuff? For me, the card is Vines of Vastwood, absolutely this card is the best draw in any situation. So why we do not use Ranger's Guile too? How better is Aspect of Hydra?. See, I run with 4 Aspect of Hydra, wouldn't be better use the Ranger's Guile, maybe 2/2? Here's why: modern is synonymous of Path to Exile, Lightning Bolt and Dismember. We may run 4 Vines, but to me that is not enough, we must win at turn 5, maybe 6. If we can protect our reatures until there, I think that the chances to win is far bigger.
Anyone that have experience with stompy would like to discuss the topic with me?
So.. Do you guys think the way to go with stompy is to slow down a little bit the deck to have better answers against the meta? By this I mean 4x Scooze and 4x Dismember on MD? I think this can be good, should be tested
