It's certainly an option, but leaves us very dead if we don't find anything. We bought two draw steps by bouncing the creatures anyway. I don't think we can leave12 damage coming at us on the board

Then proceeds to do it himself in the next round. was pretty sweet!

It's to dodge Submerge and is functionally very close to bayou in the list anyway

Yeah, I think this build is not the place to be, but it had some good learning. I prefer Monoblack Cultist Depths as you can jam Sol Lands and stuff with Saga much more easily.

Agreed on all fronts!

I think Ulamog being a bad card on it's own too often is a real problem, although living the dream with it would be funny

@@crucible_of_words Not if you add some posty bois and candelabras

@@Blacksunstoneful I think Cloudpost is legit good right now, recorded with it last night and it impressed me a lot

Because you think of me as a mutated cultist? :P

Gut Shot would be hilarious against Necrodominance since they're pretty much always paying 19 life.

@@BigChimpEnergy The issue is that they can do stuff at instant speed over the top of Bowboys or Gut shot.

@@crucible_of_words yeah and the fact that overall it's just a bad card unless you're playing it in something like that all-in Slickshot deck.

I was just so far ahead that I wanted to play in a way that meant I couldn't lose the game at that stage. A Drifter getting into play then drawing 7 off a Griselbrand was a risk I just wanted to make sure I could avoid.

I wanted to present a win rather than an annoying piece on the board. The lack of ability to get value from the ETB in that situation made me go for the Grindstone combo win line. If they have Fury, it's kind of bad either way so I opted for the highest upside line. A more experienced Painter player might have done things differently though

That's an all in strategy, but I think you are right that it's the better line.

I don't think you can run that in Breakfast, that's more of a stoneblade angle

It's 15 cards in the sideboard, but sometimes MTGO overlay doesn't list the multiple copies of things. The list wasn't mine, but usually when someone runs 1 card over, it tends to be an additional tutor target that they wanted to run.

The hand was basically a good five card hands and I would not fault anyone for keeping it. Turn 1 oppo agent is a weird thing that either is amazing, or useless, and because that was pretty much all the hand did, I was reluctant to put my faith in it on 7 card hand when a lot of 6 cards look the same or better. Ended up not really mattering either way unless I could have mulled to sphere or something.

I'm not convinced it makes the cut for turbo, but it seems useful for slow depths with Wight

I think it's fine, it shines more in a slow depths shell with other creatures, but you can run it for sure

I was appalled that the MH3 set with Eldrazi theme had no old bordered NOTW :(

I see your name in the deck dumps and I'm always happy to promote a fellow Marit Lage enthusiast :) I look forward to seeing what you do with MH3

They are an IRL friend of mine xD

@@crucible_of_words Ha, I sort of figured, but at the same time I was hoping not, because it's such a hilarious greeting to a stranger.

The Phoenix does not feel like a legacy card to me tbh

The one issue is that Nadu is often cast off a delighted halfling, which means they still get a two for one :(

@@crucible_of_words I agree it complicates things, but atleast painter isn't shy from running lightning bolts, fury's and even legion intruder to kill the delighted halfling

I played death and taxes in legacy yesterday at my lgs and faced nadu, and i quickly realised that nadu is a nightmare for death and taxes, so won't be playing that if i keep seeing nadu.

@@alexanderfive4308 It's just a nightmare full stop. Format feels like it might be wedged between turn one combo decks and Nadu decks

Join us :D

The issue for me is Dress Down being really good in the deck fights with Saga too much in my experience.

Which of the three decks is that?

@crucible_of_words the first one with the Nulldrifter! Sorry, I heard you say there were three but didn't finish watching the video.

@@patbateman69420 I hope you like the others too hehe. I think dreadnought is looking sweet right now for sure

Artifact hate, got it.

And it gains power from the pieces in the 2 combos overlapping in small ways helping the other combo

That's a good way to approach it and likely better than what I did

@@crucible_of_words Well I hope you mean it. You are so much better than I.

@@joshdavis3743 Very kind of you to say, but I struggle a fair bit on unfamiliar decks and I'm far from an expert outside of my specialist decks. I just play a lot and sound confident haha
