My primary question is since all the permanents enter the battlefield at the same time due to Genesis Wave, can I attach Infinite Reflection to a creature on the battlefield when Genesis Wave has resolved?
1) Thought Scour
A friend told me I could do this and I'm pretty sure he's wrong but I figured I'd ask. When Delver of Secrets' ability triggers and you take a peek at the top, can you Thought Scour it away and peek again and try to flip him again?
Well, Finkel proved it can beat Wolf-Run, just not easily and especially not if there are three metalcrafted Gal Blasts in hand... That was heartbreaking to watch.
Oh well. Huntmaster is a serious problem for any tempo deck right now. I'm not looking forward to that one showing up in my meta.
That was hard to watch. Mad props to the Finkle man though, he didn't make it easy for Kibler at all.
Do you guys thinkg that going back to sideboard Flashfreezes may be a good idea again? Even Jelger had a hard time against it Paulo's WRR, and he was playing old skool UW Delver.
I have to tweak my SB a bit still, Timely Reinforcements will probably be leaving soon, and I need to find more answers to anything UW hexproof, that list you posted on the other thread rattled my cage a bit. Just when I thought I was done testing, too. Jerk.
Where can I find the list? I'm currently working on WB tokens as well and if this is one of our worse matchups, I'd like to be ready for it as well.
I've been testing just two Drowned Catacombs in the deck and I've been quite happy. Late game this allows me to flashback Forbidden Alchemy if i need to and I've been able to play black mana on Dismember and only lose two life which has helped against aggressive red decks.
How is your mana base looking? I'm considering throwing in 2 Drowned Catacombs as well.
Hey guys! My girlfriend was interested in building this deck but she is kind of confused on how it's played. Is it possible for anyone to record a game (or games) using this deck on mtgo/mws/cockatrice and put it up? She's been testing with me (using the v2 of the deck) and I've been wining 100% of the time (I'm using Bant Aggro, WW Token Spam, and pre rotation Caw Blade). Though we haven't tried using the v3 of the deck, we will be trying that out later.
Also, any tips for playing the deck would be very helpful. I'm not much of a combo player as I'm a control player so my advice doesn't seem to be as helpful.
Quick quote from his article, "Ponder is the card I'm looking at very closely from M12. It could end up making the deck that much more consistent, but I just don't know what to cut. With that added consistency, it might be feasible to just cut Consecrated Sphinx from the maindeck and just focus on the combo entirely, but Sphinx really does some work when they've run you out of resources. I do know that I'd much rather play Preordain than Ponder, but I might try to fit in a few when I get some testing in later this week."
Question. What decks do you use each card for in this sideboard of this deck? Still learning the deck and idk what to side in and out yet.
Hey guys, just modded my deck from more of an aggro build to a control build. I've found that Vampire Nighthawk does almost absolutely nothing in this deck in terms of card advantage, and didn't really help me against anything other than BR Vamps and Goblins/RDW. Here's my list as of right now. I also didn't find Spellskite useful as well. I originally had him because of the synergy between it and Phyrexian Obliterator, but even then I really only found it useful against Caw Blade, which even then a smart Caw Blade player wouldn't care about it. I found myself wishing I had something more like disruption or removal anytime.
Anyways, here's the list. Any positive and/or negative critique is welcome.
After looking at the last few pages, I've noticed that no one is running Tumble Magnets anymore. I guess it's really only useful against Caw decks. Any other reasons why?
Do you guys think it's a good idea to run a infect based SB? Not like completely infect, but having 4 Phyrexian Crusader, 2 Contagion Clasp, and 2 Inkmoth Nexus MB. I thought I read or heard some people doing that for against red. What do you guys think?
And here's my list. Was hoping to hear what you guys think.
Hey guys, I was wondering you how guys were doing againts the mirror/mono black infect and UB Tezzeret. In testing, those two decks RAPE me. Againts mono black, slagstorms suck b/c the only real thing you can kill is Ichor Rats, which they could care less about, and Necropede, which in turin hurts one of my dudes. Even after boarding it seems to out tempo me. And against Tezzert, I just can't handle 5/5 indestructible axe's or even 5/5 Ornithopters sometimes. The Tezzeret matchup is more a a 50/50 for me, but against MBI, I just get stomped.

2) Phantasmal Image
Say I Phantasmal Image my opponents Strangleroot Geist. What are the outcomes of these situations:
1. My turn. I attack with Image and he blocks with his Geist. No pumps or anything fancy. Damage is dealt and they both die.
2. His turn. He attacks with Geist and I block with my Image. No pumps or anything fancy. Damage is dealt and they both die.
3. Image his targeted and I have to sac it.
That was hard to watch. Mad props to the Finkle man though, he didn't make it easy for Kibler at all.
