U there dedwards?

Someone's upvoting ancient posts, making us respond to old conversations

Gitaxian probe is illegal
Go streetwraith

Add echoing truth to fight stuff like pithing needle, ensnaring bridge, leyline of the Void and other stuff

Well even more thanx for the answers, few people have them these days ;)

Even the "storm is not dead" ?
Someone might have done it for you ;)

Yeah, storm decks have lots of adaptations.
Counterbore won't work against copies, so doesn't take out storm.
There's an alternative though. Whirlwind denial

Dryad arbor, elvish spirit guide and summoner's trap

Once you play a gyruda, you will gain clones of it if you have enough of them in the deck.
Has anyone researched the minimum of clones needed to mill the opponent out ?

Oh, and if you'd read my post on companion hatred you'd know that I'd wondered why gyruda players haven't adopted phyrexian metamorph :)

What?!
Standard mono red players have brain cells???

Still moon cavalier belongs in there as well in my eyes.
And playing a lot of mill I can also say that during times with bloodmoon or landdestruction memory sluice is quite nice in mill.

There's also the spell that draws you a card for each bird you control. In torment or close to that cycle

Has anyone run an analysis of how few clones it takes to combo with gyruda?

Oh, there are many tricks to run with this deck.
If you play with enchantments that protect your other enchantments then you might as well dig into some more of the theros cycle. I remember seeing a recent lifegain deck with most cards from there. It was actually modern and looked promising.

With the great trick being enchanted evening/aurathief you should have at least 6 enchantments that makes your othe enchantment uncounterable.

With Serra's sanctum you should also have 2-3 leyline of sanctity against combo and 2-3 leyline of the Void against reanimate/dredge. Possibly some other leyline as well. I remember using leyline of singularity against a variety of aggro. It takes care of doubles and especially tokens.

Cards like opalescence and academy rector should also be thought about.

In the event that you manage to play enchanted evening you should have something that can take out enchantments,
Preferably something that can do so continually. (I know there's an efficient pick in the old ravnica cycle) also you might want to use æthervial as backup safety if you decide to play therosstyle. The 1gg centaur that brings life with lands and the nyx-ram fleece or something were the best lifegain.

Yet another aspergers sign :)

So it's a band.
Got it now.

I must build a structure, or be enslaved by another man's (a famous author said that. The world is full of material on how to enslave people, noone writes on how to tear down governments.

Most of the time I enslave people unconsciously. I'm trying to figure out how I do it.
If you look at the hot decks page you will see me hold 5 decks in there, while others have 3 at most.

Ironically it's not my deckbuilding that fascinates, but rather my article mode.

I feel like a god who created good only to see the world turn evil.

Part of the article talent is probably my 30 years of telling stories within roleplaying universes.

Tell a story the right way, and it crawls into the mind of people and nests and controls them.

Richard Dawkins thought memes lead their own lives, but most memes are really designed to be spread by humans

My minds always active. Even in sleep it's on overdrive.

Best big critters have shroud.
I used to play this in a merfolk deck with gaea's cradle.
Called dirtfish and the only green merfolk back then were from llorwyn

At this moment rdw is heavily present and monocolored.
What happens when you start meeting threecolored decks?
