Feb 4, 2014Human After All posted a message on Launch Giveaway!Favorite card of all time? That's a difficult one, but I would have to say Sensei's Divining top, I collect them and alter them because I love the art and think there's so much you can do with it. Not to mention it's a great card.Posted in: Announcements

I felt that way when I played red for bolts and snaps, but without it feels like it lags behind so much. Feels good to slam a sword on there though.
I already play esper control (Y)
I remember why I moved away from faeries, spellstutters are great but they really lack any kind of threat power.
appreciate the input, going to tinker with it, I know I ran 4 vaults in the past. I was playing the grixis list without as many cryptic, it seemed alright. If we're running supreme verdict and cryptic I definitely think 2 is the max. I'm going to do some testing then put up a list.
I needed to point this out on the first page, very tight list.
Also thinking about picking fae up again might mess with sultai or esper this time around. If we get a stoneforge unban I'll definitely do esper. Anyone have an Idea of what the sultai list would look like?
The bolded bit is why I moved away from the pure control strategy and moved to a more proactive early game with it shifting to a draw-go game turn 3 onward.
3 Snapcaster Mage
3 Wall of Omens
1 Vendilion Clique
3 Spell Queller
3 Restoration angel
4 Inquisition of Kozilek
1 Thoughtseize
3 Serum Visions
4 Path to Exile
1 Condemn
2 Logic Knot
3 Esper Charm
2 Cryptic Command
2 supreme verdict
1 sphinx's revelation
This is what I'm working with right now to counteract the aggro strategies, it's been pretty good from testing.
Can you message me list as well, I own grixis midrange anyway so it shouldn't be hard to make a full control list.
I'd argue the playstyle of this build is much different from a mentors list, this still holds the reactive elements of draw go but is also able to apply pressure early. Which is something the meta really needs. If I wanted to play a mentor deck I could but I don't feel that's well positioned right now. I think this deck has a good playstyle and a mentor list doesn't come close to replicating that. I'm interested in why you think this is just a weaker mentor list though.
More testing has shown that I really don't want 3 verdict or the 2 secures. I think more discard and spot removal may be in the cards for me so I have more early interaction. Opinions, also do you feel this still belongs here as I'm trying for a more draw go strategy, I guess you could call it esper Flash.
Similar path to my thought process, my list on the previous page attempts to be more interactive with current meta. I have always liked playing iok and even thoughtseize at times when the meta demanded it.
