TheSwarmer

[[Enhanced Surveillance]] and 26 lands seem... bad. Mathematically speaking that is. [[Enhanced Surveillance]] is a card that you would rather have be anything else in most games I'd imagine. Be that removal, card draw or counter magic, or hell, even a win condition. And a curve that tops out at 4 in a deck where half the cards Surveil isn't - again, mathematically speaking - a good idea.

That said, to keep it budget and capable I would put all my eggs in the [[Dimir Spybug]] basket; more protection, some counter magic, maybe a way to give it lifelink? IDK.

Hmm, this is a lot heavier on creatures than I am used to. Why play [[Mulldrifter]] and [[Faerie Miscreant]]? Not that it is necessarily wrong to do so (could be, but I have never looked into the numbers behind UB Delver). [[Mulldrifter]] I could see in slower metagames, but [[Faerie Miscreant]] without [[Spellstutter Sprite]] seems very weak in that it has no synergy to exploit.

xD Well, that's essentially saying that this should be Jund Shadow and not Jund.
Though the Kroxa point might be valid. I have only seen Duke play 5 games with a similar - if not identical - build, and Kroxa seems to interfere with your strategy quite rarely. Though when it does, it *really* does.

I love this so fucking much you don't have the faintest first idea xD

Didn't Paul canonize Zedruu as the one having a trustworthy face as far as EDH is concerned?

A for effort!

Dromoka's Command for sure. [[Wingmate Roc]] maybe, the 4th Thoughtseize for srue.

I don't think the build is optimal, but I am absolutely bloody certain that something like this will be tier 1.

Any trouble with the monkeys?

Who the hell is downvoting comments on this masterpiece? Half of those that I have upvoted are at 0 and there are a few that are at -4! Someone is clearly afraid of having to face this masterpiece at FNM!

Hahahahaha, and here I thought I had bad luck for having my phone submerged in the peculiarly colored waters of a toilet on multiple occasions, never knowing how lucky I was to not have my phone experience the wonders and glories of the sewage system.

Impeccable logic xD Yeah, I don't have too much time on my hands, but I do enjoy procrastinating on here.

To weigh in on the land question, I'd do 19 personally, but I have little experience with legacy, as well as with Brainstorming with a fetchland on the field. The curve tops off a 3, 8 of the spells cost 0 and 9 more are cantrips. I'd say you'll be alright, though I'd have to run the numbers to be sure. Let's see:

Chance to draw 1 land in 7 cards: 93.0%
Chance to draw 2 lands in 7 cards: 68.6%
3: 34.9%

The cnatrips make it better, with just a ponder and an island the chances of 2 lands in 11 cards are 92.9%.

Yep, but there isn't much that can be done about that I don't think. This site allows for most interaction with the easiest access to interaction, the facilitation was implemented masterfully. It's just that... well, this ain't Reddit. The population is low, the incentive to engage is low, and the quality of the average deck is also low (I was a massive part of that last problem a couple years back). But I'll stick with this sinking ship until the servers die or the Soviet Union rises again.

Now why [[Wirewood Pride]]? I mean, obviously, it's an elf deck, but it isn't usually played on account of it not being an elf itself.

I mean, in a format where nothing but commons exist tron is really strong still. They can't get a Karn, sure, but they can make so much mana that drawing 4, playing a threat, and holding up a counterspell is realistic for them. This deck has trouble beating it as it is lacking in disruption. Pauper Tron tends to win with either [[Rolling Thunder]] (rare) or [[Dinrova Horror]] + [[Mnemonic Wall]] + [[Ghostly Flicker]]

Ok, another question, how have you managed to rouse people like this? My comment is as boring as communist architecture and yet I got 4 upvotes somehow.

How come this went up on the 8th and I am only seeing it now? xD

Too much paying, not enough gaining, also [[Glorifier of Dusk]]?? The card is somewhere between terrible and as good as waking up in an ant heap.
