Delving into Previous Misgivings | EP.30

In episode 30 of #EverydayEternal Matt Pavlic (sdematt) talks with Bob Huang (@silyaznfoo) about Bob’s recent win at the StarCityGames Legacy Open in New Jersey with a UR Delver deck packed with Kahns of Tarkir cards, and how very wrong the ‘cast was in its initial evaluation of those cards. Sean O’Brien (nedleeds) also briefly joins in towards the end to talk a bit of Vintage. This will be followed up with a preview of Eternal Weekend coming soon! 0:00:49 Bob Huang: First place at #SCGNJ with UR Delver with Treasure Cruise and Monastery Swiftspear 0:07:42 Combating Treasure Cruise 0:11:08 Treasure Cruise and Dig through Time in non-Delver decks 0:15:55 How does this affect non-blue decks? 0:23:55 A bit more on attacking Treasure Cruise – This is not the next Mental Misstep! 0:30:25 New deck naming conventions 0:36:33 What cards are deprecated by these delve-based cards? 0:42:07 Less played decks that become better 0:48:33 Why Matt loves Gaddock Teeg 0:54:15 Vintage, and what Sean is going to play at Vintage Champs 0:57:35 Matt started playing Power 1:02:40 Terranova vs. other Workshop decks 1:04:25 Short Metagame preview for Vintage Champs 1:07:35 Wrap up – The Most Dangerous Cards in Khans of Tarkir, by Carsten Kotter – Vintage Super League Round 6 Steve Menendian vs. Luis Scott-Vargas UR Maindeck 4 Force of Will 4 Daze 4 Lightning Bolt 1 Chain Lightning 2 Forked Bolt 4 Gitaxian Probe 4 Brainstorm 4 Ponder 4 Treasure Cruise 4 Delver of Secrets 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Young Pyromancer 4 Polluted Delta 4 Scalding Tarn 1 Wooded Foothills 1 Flooded Strand 4 Volcanic Island 2 Island 1 Mountain Sideboard 2 Grafdigger’s Cage 1 Null Rod 2 Pithing Needle 2 Grim Lavamancer 2 Blood Moon 2 Sulfuric Vortex 3 Pyroblast 1 Smash to Smithereens RUG Maindeck 4 Force of Will 4 Daze 3 Spell Snare 2 Spell Pierce 4 Stifle 4 Lightning Bolt 2 Fire // Ice 4 Brainstorm 4 Ponder 4 Delver of Secrets 4 Tarmogoyf 4 Hooting Mandrills 4 Wasteland 4 Misty Rainforest 4 Wooded Foothills 3 Tropical Island 3 Volcanic Island Sideboard 2 Cursed Totem 1 Krosan Grip 2 Submerge 1 Null Rod 2 Rough // Tumble 2 Grafdigger’s Cage 1 Ancient Grudge 3 Red Elemental Blast 1 Sylvan Library LEGACY Maindeck 4 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas 2 Dack Fayden 3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor 4 Force of Will 2 Transmute Artifact 1 The Abyss 1 Ensnaring Bridge 4 Baleful Strix 2 Academy Ruins 4 Chalice of the Void 1 Engineered Explosives 3 Thopter Foundry 1 Sword of the Meek 1 Crucible of Worlds 4 Mox Diamond 2 Dimir Signet 3 Underground Sea 1 Volcanic Island 4 Polluted Delta 2 Flooded Strand 2 Island 1 Swamp 4 Ancient Tomb 2 City of Traitors 3 Wasteland Sideboard 1 Ensnaring Bridge 4 Leyline of the Void 2 Goblin Welder 2 Toxic Deluge 1 Misdirection 2 Lodestone Golem 1 Helm of Obedience 1 Engineered Explosives 1 Engineered Plague GW Maindeck 4 Mother of Runes 4 AEther Vial 2 Phyrexian Revoker 2 Sylvan Library 4 Stoneforge Mystic 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 3 Serra Avenger 3 Spirit of the Labyrinth 4 Swords to Plowshares 1 Sword of Fire and Ice 1 Umezawa’s Jitte 3 Flickerwisp 1 Batterskull 4 Rishadan Port 4 Wasteland 3 Karakas 4 Windswept Heath 3 Plains 3 Savannah 2 Cavern of Souls Sideboard 3 Gaddock Teeg 2 Rest in Peace 1 Enlightened Tutor 2 Grafdigger’s Cage 2 Pithing Needle 1 Ratchet Bomb 2 Krosan Grip 2 flex slots JUND Maindeck 4 Thoughtseize 2 Inquisition of Kozilek 1 Red Elemental Blast 2 Sylvan Library 3 Punishing Fire 3 Lightning Bolt 3 Abrupt Decay 3 Liliana of the Veil 1 Koth of the Hammer 4 Deathrite Shaman 4 Dark Confidant 4 Tarmogoyf 4 Bloodbraid Elf 3 Grove of the Burnwillows 3 Bayou 1 Taiga 2 Badlands 3 Wasteland 2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 3 Wooded Foothills 4 Verdant Catacombs 1 Forest 1 Swamp Sideboard 2 Slaughter Games 2 Chains of Mephistopheles 1 Ancient Grudge 1 Krosan Grip 3 Red Elemental Blast 2 Duress 2 Golgari Charm 2 Nihil Spellbomb
