WhiteAndBlueTheyKillYou

The only reason I can give for somebody running seven is they just ran out of ideas, or they're entirely dependent on their walkers. I like being in neither camp.
Honestly, when it gets right down to it, the only walkers I really like at three are Liliana of the Veil, Innistrad Sorin, and either of the versions of Tezzeret. Jace only gets a pass to three in this deck because of how absolutely insane he is within the shell.

And yeah, the suite is too good not to want the playset. This is probably the only deck I've made outside of Vintage that can do 1{U}{U}{U} reliably, and that has been giving me some ideas since I made this. I've been brewing a RUG list about in my head, and I think it's time to try my hand at making it a reality.

And if there's any setup I like to do in a traditional way, CounterTop would be the closest. I have nothing but fond memories for playing CounterTop Progenitus as one of my main decks, and I think I might have to experiment with aggro-control decks with it again.

I tried this list for a few games last night, and holy balls do I take back anything negative I've ever said about Dimir Charm. It's decent on paper, but it's one of those cards you have to play to actually understand just how much it can shape a game.

I can dig it, 2cmc is the danger zone in almost every situation. It just seems odd to me, but that might be because I'm a bit OCD about CounterTop.

I have stared at this for about an hour and I think I know how to respond now; what?

Fair enough, I think I just have my mind set on disruption after tweaking that UBx core for so long, and didn't even bother to think of using it to force mana burden. I need sleep, and to do something different it seems...

One thing I notice that's not just me stuck in my groove, is that your mana curve seems a bit odd to use Counterbalance in. 13 15 5? I know everybody likes 2CMC cards, but it seems a bit off-kilter.

Dimir Charm is nice, but I've just not been sold on it anywhere really. It's a definite possibility, but testing is on the backburner due to school again :| Tried to get as much done as I could, but this is about as far as it wound up.

Also, I know what you mean man. I haven't stopped calling them that, and it's gotten me some weeeeeeird looks.

I dunno, there's always just getting the playset of Bazaars, and being a dredge player. That's probably what would happen if I was to invest in Vintage for myself, but the whole time I'd be wishing I could play something more enjoyable, especially if it's Hermit Druid based. That card is just fun

I the addition of the Scrivener, but I'm honestly not sure about Dimir Charm. It's good, and you can stick it on the Scepter, but I can't help but think that slot could be better served by added {B} hand disruption.

And as you told me, they say the true masterpieces are the ones the artist never finishes, I find this quite fitting for your Iso-Seek designs :)

It's really cool, and I love it, but after Enter the Infinite I'd rather just go Bogardan Hellkite*4/Beacon of Destruction*4/Thunderous Wrath*4 backed by more counters, or just kill with Emrakul and have more counter magic readied.

Hell, you could stick to the old method and just Conflux into three Cruel Ultimatums, and two more copies of Conflux. Then Conflux into the last Ultimatum, and four copies of Progenitus.

For the most part I'll agree with that sentiment, but on my part I would never be so bold as to say that. Or Beethoven actually, his piano concertos were simply amazing, and to my ears have always been the great masterpieces of good ol' Ludwig van. But I am quite flattered you say that man, it's an honor in fact!

A one or two of Krenko could actually be a great stabilizer for this deck, just like in Legacy. Ornithopter is in here because it's a free artifact, yes, but that's because free artifacts let me cast Kuldotha Rebirth reliably. Warren Instigator, great in Legacy, not so much in speedy mostly 1cmc Modern Goblins. One more burn spell might be nice. Shrine of Burning Rage is quite honestly crap in Kuldotha Rust, tested it when the deck was new, and it was utterly disappointing. And in the best hands I've ever gotten with Kuldotha decks, I've had two copies of Mox Opal, because saccing it to Kuldotha Rebirth, and then setting out a kicked Bushwhacker is insane.

TL;DR: The fourth Galvanic Blast and the addition of Faithless are options worth considering, but the rest has been dealt with by past testing. And Krenko would probably be a SB card, with maybe two or three copies, but that leaves the question of what in the hell would I take out for him game 2, which I'll be dealing with when I do more testing.

I have nothing but love for Krenko, I play him in my Legacy goblins, and have had the intense joy of playing him, and Goblin Chieftain after my opponent wiped the field XD In Kuldotha Rust he could be insane, but the mana would be a bit problematic, as would placing him in at all.

And while I love Spellblast, and think that the Goblin Song is perfect for any Krenko deck, I think No One Survives by Nekrogoblikon more suits the quicker aggro strategies. That song is freaking awesome.

Yeah, I'm going for Modern. I just cobbled this together for the sake of putting Legion Loyalist and Simian Spirit Guide in the frame, because I thought my friend might like the sound of playing it in Modern.

And thanks for the thought, it's always nice when people want to help on this site! :)

The deckname has a hashtag, your username is JaceTheMindSculptor, and it's Esper control in standard. Ten out of ten points for pulling that off.
No idea about what to do in standard, never really cared for it, probably never will. But good luck on getting this to work out, because I have the feeling you're going to get flamed a bit :/

Yeaaaaaaah...

Yeah, with Mystical Tutor it was pretty intense, but the real insanity was when you could cast an IGG loop, that was the real deal right there.

Sadly I don't own these cards, because if I had them, I'd sell them and get a car. I've been offered to borrow them from some people, but there's a few issues the my DCI registration I've spent the last year trying to sort out, only for an incredibly inept shop to mess it up AGAIN, so no official tournaments for me... So it's just something I've thrown together for them basically, maybe see a little use from me on MWS :D

The deck is absolutely insane, it's a variant of a design I saw Stephen Menendian run(the man that pretty much defines Vintage to me), because I couldn't help thinking there are some ways it could be a little crueler. This is essentially a form of Mana Drain control that shed the titular card in favor of counter suite that, for the most part, is free.

That is a pretty popular setup to abuse Griselbrand in, and in my opinion EMrakul has always proved too much of a design constraint to be entirely viable. I can say that while I agree that Griselbrand is everything reanimators wanted from Jin-Gitaxias, and maybe a little more, but it's because he's so powerful that I'll only ever run him at three at tops. It's too much of a good thing, and reduces the decks versatility overall, which in my area is a negative point.
Now in a fully developed meta running only the best of the best? I would ditch Jin for Griselbrand, and switch out Archangel for Blazing Archon to deal with Sneak & Show, and maindeck Inkwell in place of the Sphinx. In the midst of the jank though, it needs the versatility tbh.

If Griselbrand gets banned, I'd be sad, but not surprised in the slightest. It's hard to think of a time when Reanimator wasn't one of the heaviest contenders, the lowest it has been since Entomb was legal again was probably right after the Mystical Tutor ban hit.

That second section of that comment? That's exactly what the problem with this deck is. It's not focused enough in any one aspect, it's trying to do too many things with Shardless, things that can be done better with a Tarmogoyf and being able to play Daze generally.

The deck really isn't worth trying at a tournament in my opinion, it's good, but so is Zombardment, and I'm not nearly ballsy enough to try that since I KNOW there's going to be a decent showing of Storm, hyper-aggressors, and Reanimator.

I'm not really supporting FoW that much, because this deck hardly even manages to do anything with its four lonely counters when they're fully supported. Hell, if I recall, the debut lists only played two or three copies of FoW.

Brainstorm is great in a vast myriad of control decks, but this is not one of them. This thing gains more of its power from being able to eat your hand than it does from having one playset of counters. If I ever was ballsy enough to try this jank at a tournament, I'd probably run two Mindbreak Traps in place of FoW actually, and have a flexslot for whatever the local meta is at the tournament area.

This deck ha beautiful CA, but as a cost for it, it has horrible topdecks. The most welcome thing to see as my draw is Bloodghast, or a Shardless. And that's kind of crap in my opinion.

Strix is in the SB for laziness to be quite honest. This is the result of me taking the disruption package from the Shardless list I did, and putting it in something a little more enjoyable of a shell. Same with Probe. I haven't been able to sleep, less than usual even, so everything I've made has been a bit rough starting out to say the least.

It miiiight wind up as a singleton in the board though, since it's nice to tutor up a draw effect on a flying deathtouch body. But I doubt it.

And yes, I mean Stoneforge Sure. I called it being broken when it first came out, but then xBlade became a thing in Standard, and people wouldn't stop trying to ONLY rely on it. It was a good card that I came to despise, much the same as there are good songs on the radio that got overplayed. Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is one of my favorite songs, but for the longest time I couldn't enjoy it since it got sooooo much airtime, and Stoneforge no longer being talked about constantly allows me to enjoy it more now in the same way.
