    had totally forgot about Scuttling Doom Engine

    have you tested for a time ? in main or side ? what slot ha takes ?

    I dont find a batterskull yet, but can make a good pair with Doom engine haha

    sometime ago, Padeem, Consul of Innovation was cited, have some test on it ?

    A remember edit: For my side, i get 2 Illness in the Ranks cause have so much tokens here

    Glassdust Hulk for her Cycle ? we have Architects of Will for this and maybe a not-bad cast

    Batterskull can make some lifelink redundance and imagine a Glint-Nest beating and Blocking haha the token can chumpblock and next turn aggressive, ill try some i guess, will seek a single

    Side of 15 cards start to be little for today

    i agree in Spreading Seas cause draw but i opt for Sea's Claim for the curve, mainly the fact you said we need to be faster, and T2 i want to Heartless + Myr in all best case and T3 start to tax. The Crucible of Worlds technique is so sweet, but this card is so expansive for the moment

    another big thread on this UG is World Breaker omg!

    For this UG i try some different playstyles, until discard her seek tools and your big thread cause with G have much tools to search

    I got 1 Tolaria West but not put in deck yet but a tutor always welcome, have you tested to say how it impact ?

    yes, ill continue with Ensnaring Bridge here have around 3 Bant Eldrazis, this so hard without, Stony is the problem in this cause even with Bridge he continues to do thing, make token discard with Seer is boring, then we need to win this race, was the first time i see Stony win me, but ill teste some bounce and tell you (i see Cyclone make nice work on that matchup with bridge)

    in Lost Legacy is more then stony, it can reach more problematic things

    Here have some UG tron with Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger argh its hard, i need a plan, and some valakuts, then i sided some Sea's Claim to deal with their land

    In the begin of thread, i ran Duplicant but was sad nots worth, but ill try some Sever the Bloodline and see the impact

    Hello Various, dont worry about that

    More on focus, because yesterday have another league game:

    1x2 against bant eldrazi
    Lost the first game then win the second with the same strategy of Ensnaring Bridge, but now, finish with a Walking Ballista for +9 counters, then in the third game, my fear Stony Silence cant allow me win this and the game kinda mirror of second but cant active my ballista, so sad.

    Considerations: I guess in tempted to try some Echoing Truth or Cyclonic Rift in side cause this game especific i acumulated so much mana and the table of opponent was immense or some Lost Legacy to prevent Stony enter idk. In case of Legacy, this reach many other problematic cards for us. (what do you think?)

    2x0 BW Tokens

    0x2 Other tokens (idk why) hahah

    i faced an Abzan and guess this match so favorable, but in this day, stucked so hard, not luck

    For this match and tokens: in go to test some Sever the Bloodline in side because his exile abillity for exile (catch indestrutible) and amount many token, goyfs, ulamogs target and have flashback for late game, i guess a worth test

    For some control match ill test a Inkwell Leviathan as finisher

    --

    Do you see that ?! I was surprised when see about Heartless in goldfish, and try to call attention with the list to see interest, but I did not think to publish the forum, mybad, lets see if more people come to rich this.

    Given a step back
    I want to point one thing about Throne of the God-Pharaoh now to be careful

    Some days ago i have a match with merfolk now and the fact we use U facilite so much and the bounces make its hard.
    what the best tool we have against ? my Yahenni's Expertise dont came no one game and Explosives destroy us so many 2 CMC

    After this and Jund matchup, i guess it can a dead draw, although like it so much, because sometimes ur creatures dont stay in game

    I`n in the Grand Architect thread too, and see Throne came from this, but have a point, that deck have around 33 creatures .. its not a point?

    maybe the local meta influence this, but if we have some tool that fit well in all math can be consider ? Something good againt remove like Scrap Trawler or that Treasure Keeper or dont know

    yes, is them pratically the same list before, but now i have Fatal Pushs, not much diference in this match, only get Goblin Guides, but know i agree this match is not so difficult if we can have a lifelink font early or a chalice. Lifelink is a font i guess we should have on main plus Wurmocil Engine cause we have big beater early, and life can help us the rest of game

    On Ensnaring Bridge
    Well, in the momment, i dont think when ill draw the pieces cause i know it is hard do remove, i just load the game wiht our artifact, and Walking Ballista Become the second plan. when i play Molten-Tail Masticore was for Bridge too, other alternative for outside combate damage, and also, when i can play Ensnaring Bridge, the opponent is hurt by shocks and painlands then less artifact is needed, in this case remove some Heartess Summoning for not hold dead card is a good choise, and if Tezz come before Bridge, the game flow easy.

    Just to say Kolaghan's Command have my hate!! hahhaa
    its card just own by yourself agains us Mad

    Hello, i return just today afeter that fast post

    i just toss the option about live, but not abrange .. maybe the brainstorm can run bigger, then brief on forum, but was a idea, nevermind

    Since launch, i liked the Scrap Trawler but dont see it fit in deck, but i see it work in Trawler KCI (almost make this deck, but so much hate) and it so fun, have you tested, what slot can be replaced ?

    I always look for Treasure Keeper, i like cards can be replaced by yourself

    I even considered Matter Reshaper, but its crazy by the C cost
    ---

    I have a little report

    2-2 on weekend sooo close 3-1 (5th of 14) of a local store little tournament

    Its is interesting wow

    I did not know about this card existence, lifelink is a thing a miss, i tested Basilisk Collar (look is only for lifelink mention) together ballista too, how we have big beaters it helps a lot

    Jorubai Murk Lurker seems give us something like a Condemn tech without W its a thing, and not an artifact to scape from Stony

    --

    if we can live chat, we can break a big delay would add much to discuss, but de Timezone cant help much i guess

    I forget to post my list



    I have mulligan once .. then i have fear to down 5 and just hope to draw some black source .. some bad luck and some my bad i guess ... i start to belive that i dont know how to shuffle LOL

    I felt the same about Blood Moon but Stony Silence terrify my because DS make bigger blockers for ur creatures, just precaution

    --

    Someone give me a idea to trade Sunken Hollow to the new Fetid Pools, what do you think?

    Quote from VariousBoots »

    8Rack is also a tough matchup. Early discard can totally rip our hands apart. I have found that you want to be careful not to keep a hand that is relying on a single engine piece (like one with a Heartless and double Myr). Always expect them to tear at least 2 cards out of your hand early. If this matchup is a common problem for you, Dodecapod is really good against Liliana of the Veil, Smallpox, and Raven's Crime.

    And yes, I do play online because I don't have a lot of time to get out to long events to play in paper right now. The deck cost me a little over $200 when I first bought into it online and since then I've added some pieces here and there. With Walking Ballistas and Engineered Explosives added it will probably end up being between $250 - $300.


    Grats !! Some considerations and point i want to emphasize:

    On storm: the problem wasnt the pieces like grave hates, the problem was stuck in land, i open with 2 seize`s and not draw a single swamp or fetch, sooo sad, i guess the match is some point favorable to us .. but argh

    On DS: In this match the luck return and Lodestone Golem and Engineered Explosives was the star, but when he was removing the side, i see Stony Silence (was a DS junk) if he put in game, Explosives cant save us anymore, then what I'd like to say with that, i guess we need something to interact with permanents, side maybe idk .. Echoing Truth

    on 8Rack: That player come from other city, then i never played against this, i have dodecapod but is out of side because never used, totally surprised (the same for this player, when he sized me and dont know what to discard hahah)

    ---

    then .. mol, i cant play you !! pay 2 time a deck is hard

    Still in Throne HA!!
    had a game, when opponent 6 life, and i have no creature, i guess was a ESPER CONTROL, then i drew Tezz, Turn trhone in creature, beat 5 then throne trigger and deal 1 left, so sweet
