mana drain or most blue decks tend to lose to ichorid. aside from tezzvault which can win sometimes on turn 2, traditionaly workshop and ritual decks tend to do better vs ichorid. once urza's arrives we recieve smokestack, goblin welder, timetwister, windfall, memory jar, ill-gotten gains, yawgmoth's bargain and yawgmoth's will to name a few. all should help with defining the meta.
It's incredible that MANA DRAIN is playable in Classic, and has gotten 0 press because dredge is just that good. Does anyone else feel like bazaar is just far too ridiculous?
My recent entry into the Classic Format has been fun thus far. Until Sinkhole comes online I wont be playing my favorite deck archetype Rock. Till then I'll be playing Dredge.
I think it is interesting that Dredge still seems to be resilient to a lot of the hate cards SB or main decked.
The Helm/Leyline deck can be pretty brutal against dredge from experience.
I have played against this deck a couple times. I think as long as Dredge doesn’t go all in and takes its time sculpting their hand they will be ok. Usually the 1st person to over commit ends up losing. So it ends up being a rather enjoyable match imo.
I like the original Terror, and maybe Godless Shrine. They're the ones that pop into my head right now, at least. I don't think I've ever really considered what my favourite art is. Also, I quite like the Giant Growth art with the big mouse. It's the kind of art that has a sense of humour, without actively attempting to be "funny" like an Un-art.
it certainly is. that is CTC as played by jarund which as I showed in my article earlyer this week was a 75 card mirror of Bazaar's placing list.
Interesting list rukus, the only ceavet i have with it is that it looks like it loses a lot of power to agro and rdw( which are still placing in the 4rds)
also very small thing here. in CTC painter/stone is the main combo and you should never mull to find lotv. unless of course you were talking purely about the dredge match up.
here here about dropping event prices. I have played in exactly 6 4 rd events since there inseption. i would much much rather go 3-2 and miss out on tie breakers then 3-1, this would be a better use of my time and help to actually flesh out the meta game. because as you said if you only have to win 3 times there is room for luck.
...this is awesome and something the community desperately needs. I have referred to Danger's list countless times, but what you have done here is create much broader list that really encaptures the entirety of eternal formats. I look forward to the other articles. Good work.

I liked your draft alaysis and walkthrough of games.

I guess PRES are not on my radar. I never really know when things are going on until after they've happened. :)

Fantastic article, absolutely love it and can't wait for the rest of the series.
The only negative is the color scheme. Striped pink and aqua is not appealing in any way!
very good job.
ben you hit the nail on the head. even though i have been playing comp classic for over 2 years i still highly anticipate the rest of this series.

8 tix is still a lot. Daily should cost 4 and PEs 6 tix each.
AJ is about 6 hours ahead of me, and we record in the evening. So yes; AJ is very tired when we record.
That's not to say that drugs aren't involved. Just that I'm not aware of any. :p

Was AJ, like, really stoned during the recording? Or does he just need a few hours sleep?
