Deck Description

My take on vintage 'Glue'. This is, quite possibly one of the most infuriating decks to play against. It is deceptively passive, and grinds the game to a lethargic rate.

When I play in vintage tournaments this is the deck I currently use. So far I have seen a good helping of success.

Deck discussion for "…Something might stick."

I found it!

"Audacter calumniare, semper aliquid haeret."

Also I hate this deck so much, but you knew that already.

"Slander boldly, something might stick."

I know you do, and I am quite fine with that.

This is one card away from being the version I've been using since Thalia got printed. I took out a Thorn, same as you, but also the third copy of Stony Silence. Six Null Rods has been doing quite adequately, and with the increased number of sphere effects makes up for it.

The biggest differences in our lists would probably be in our sideboards.
2 Jester's Cap(I find if you're running Workshop without at least two in the board, you're running it wrong)
2 Metalworker
2 Slash Panther
3 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Faerie Macabre
3 Relic of Progenitus

I have found that with decks such as this, most of the diversity does, in fact, come in the form of the sideboard. I must admit, my fancy is tickled as to the usefulness of Slash Panther. Care to explain?

Probably due to how much the design has been optimized over time. And the benefit of Slash Panther is that I have an odd luck to find other Glue Stax players, and being able to quickly apply pressure makes it a bit less awkward. I've been strongly considering switching the numbers of it and Phyrexian Revoker really.

I suppose that makes sense. Mirror matches of Glue are truly mind numbing, so putting some pressure on the opponent early could help.

If you think about it, this is one of the most optimized designs currently in MtG; everything has a purpose, and each choice has been weighed by each pilot to the point of exhaustion. The only deck I know of that was quite so close to being built by automation is Ravager Affinity.
And I wouldn't even describe it as mind numbing, I generally reserve that for something mindlessly cathartic, like pulling weeds. I'd more say that it's the most dreadfully boring matchup in the game short of Lands v. Lands.

Trying to say which is more boring, Lands vs. Lands or Glue vs. Glue, is like trying to compare filing one's teeth down to the gums or having one's fingernails pulled off. Granted, I play both Glue and Lands, so what does that make me?

A fair point. And if it's any consolation, I play both as well. If I must be painfully boring, at least I know there's another who is in the same boat.

It's a song. I don't care much for the bulk of the vocals, but the second half of the chorus is quite good. "Just give me a life to bleed. Another world outside that's full of all the awful things that I made"

How do you win?

By slowing the game to a grinding lethargy, and then attacking with Lodestone Golem. There are some peculiar addenda to that, but for the most part that is how it wins.

you win by selling your cards for a profit, and resisting the urge to buy more.

I will admit, I have sold this deck (or at least a variant of it) in the past to buy my nephew his first car.

But now you're doing the Scrooge McDuck dive into your hoard of gold, so you don't need to sell this deck anymore =P

(you earned it though)

for all the high dollar cards involved, this deck seems kinda lackluster. either as the player or the opponent.

If you find Glue Stax lackluster, I honestly believe you're doing it wrong.

That's usually the case. Just like people doubt DDFT in Legacy until they see it played decently, it's something that generally can only be fully appreciated when you've seen or played it.
