How can I save time when I start to combo... I got a warning from a judge yesterday... I´m pretty sure I've done only what the deck was supposed to do... Could someone describe how you play, announce, count manas in a real game situation, I´ve only see people playing in this deck in magic online... so I don´t know if there are better ways to represent floating mana, to announce things..
It´s very sad... Generally my opponents don´t know any of my cards, because we don´t play tarmogoyf or death shadows.. So they stop to read every card.. Scrap Thrawler has a very confusing text... so wee need to explain... People barely read things until the end, so when they kill your thrawler, you need to explain that the card triggers for itself... We becomes to be know as "the boring player" in our Local stores, nobody wants to play with us, and now I think judges just don´t sympathize with us... they look our opponents bored and just think we're doing something wrong.
People act as get destroyd by death shadow with a lot of cheap stuff is very fun..
IMO RG is better/designed against death shadow decks. they will lose a lot of life points by theyrselves, and will not be able to take damage from pia revolution, allowing you to do whatever you want. You can win even without KCI if they play recklessly.
Against inifinite life decks like vizier + Kitchen Finks,you can´t relly on pia's revolution, but you can beat them with Station + KCI + huge Hangerback...
Main deck ghirapur can make shoot small creatures, and make your lock quicker against shadow decks, as well you can finish them off with it.
I´m Struggling against instant speed grave hate (Rakdos/Jund Charm). How can I beat them? Attacking their mana base?
It´s Very Hard, because we can´t use discard spells (thoughtseize, Duress).
The answer depends on what kind of decks are making use of those instant speed grave hate. For instance, the solution against control using rakdos charm is different than the solution against aggro using rakdos charm.

Junk - Lost Legacy, Nihil Spellbomb

Burn - Smoke me, until I have a chance of doing anything.
Another decks - they used to have Relic on their sideboards.

You're not accounting for the information that git probe provides.
With the very much all-in style that DSZ and infect rely on, git probe is the insurance and a great opener for the chain to check for potential removal and tricks. If we leave up 2-3 mana open (like most LE players do), git probe allows the opponent to check for cascade, cascade + SSG, or beast within. If we don't have those, they do not get punished for the all-in, if they see one of the above, they don't commit.
There simply isn't a replacement on the level of git probe that provides perfect information and cantrip at 2 life, at best the decks either bring in more hexproof tricks (which we don't care about for the most part) or they bring in more card selection like serum visions which doesn't provide info on the cards we're holding.
some people are trying surgical extraction maindeck...
what abou distended mindbender? maindeck or side? Don´t worth? would be pretty nice to resolve a living end, them attack with everything sacrifice a carabid or wraith (by emerge cost) very soon... can help against counterspells matchups? bad as scapeshift or ad nauseam..
degenerated the format in a way that almost everybody wants to have spells that they can´t cast in their sideboards. dredge is so resilient to spot removal that make "fair" decks unviable in the format. Occuping a high percentage in the metagame.
Can make board state that are unbeatable unless the opponent has the very specific hate in the right moment.
That´s what I heard... Friends advice me to sell all the cards quickly... but I like the deck a lot.
The dredge player was probably playing this cards you've listed above, because his teammates stole the better options.
That´s a lot of points to consider when you´re going to share cards.. People which has limited budget (cards) and need to build decks for their entire team could explain it better.
So yes, I think this Unified list is far from the most optimal.
In a metagame where control and combo are really popular, it's great to be able to gain one more turn ;-)
With animar it will often cost 0 mana and with it you can tap his mana and he won't be able to play a wrath ;-)
It´s somehow the same I thought when I first see the card in spoilers. Plus the fact that in some scenarios, the card can outperform ulamog, as it "removes" 4 blockers instead 2. It can overcome prosh with 8 tonkens... Animar + Statue combo, Elder Deep Fiend, Statue bouncing, Elder deep Fiend to tap all the blockers (8 in total).

OMG, I don´t know about the sideboard... But the 60 in main deck... This list is freaking insane.
I´m facing really hard time against Leovold (control). Any tips?
