Could also use things like Grim Monolith to untap for free.

@moorebrother1 Have you considered Demonic Pact? It seems pretty sexy with Aminatou, but a bit slow. If you can get it going though, I would imagine the raw CA would overrun any deck.

@Smmenen I know what you are asking, I just do not feel like I can make a recommendation, as I have only recently started playing Vintage. I was merely pointing out your oversight on ESG and you questioning in your above comment if they played Wonder in the deck. I was only responding, letting you know that most decks do play Wonder, so I consider this a futile question. As many a great players have said before me though, the best play is often the play where you play to win, rather than to not lose, what that may be or entail, I do not know. You asked a question, that is my answer. Now if you would not mind answering mine that would be great.

@Smmenen I think your mistake stemmed from the fact that you probably do not watch or play as much MTGO as much as you would need to be 100% up to date on how Survival has changed. I truthfully believe that if you played more on MTGO you would probably top 8 the challenges pretty frequently. That said, in the future there are certain toolbox creatures in Survival that nearly all version play, namely these are Wonder, Squee, and Elvish Spirit Guide. You can check on mtggoldfish.com, but I have yet to come across a refined list that does not include these three. Just something to look out for. Also I was wondering if you would be coming out to Eudo for this month's vintage. Cheers!

@Smmenen It must have been very hard for you to play that quickly, given you are renown for analyzing all possible lines of play thoroughly before committing to one.

@volrathxp I think it is tough because you are relatively new, so we do not have a sense of what to ask you quite yet.

@GrandpaBelcher I am still confused how could he ramp into T1 Consecrated Sphinx? With the list above the most mana he can make T1 is 1. Was he running a different list?

@GrandpaBelcher What in the hecking heck is that? I am so confused and have so many questions.

@Stuart As someone who uses proxies this is true for me. I wish I could own the cards, but being too young for a job and to have played magic when these cards were cheap, I likely will not be able to for a long time. I print my proxies using their regular art, but smaller so that they can easily fit in sleeves. If I try to make them the same size as regular cards, I have found it much harder to fit them in double sleeves.
