Your list looks fine. The Tiny Leaders banlist is basically the Legacy one + whatever would be oppressive in a CMC<4 format, like Counterbalance and Chalice of the Void + fast artifact mana.

I thought you guys nailed it perfectly.

Don't forget the usual artifacts that break up combo for the sideboard -- Spellskite (against Bogles, Splinter Twin (but not Kiki-Jiki)), Pithing Needle/Phyrexian Revoker (against control's finishers like Celestial Colonnade, Gideon; also naming Deceiver, Pestermite, or Kiki out of Twin), Grafdigger...

So this means that you can Vendilion Clique them in response to take the Ninjitsu creature out of their hand, right?

For another Conspiracy card idea, WotC should have a vote card with "When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, each player votes for death or taxes." Bonus points if the card is playable in Death and Taxes.

The Modern version seems pretty slow against the current metagame. I'd focus on having a lot more cantrips to trigger the Skulker instead of the creature-based engine (which doesn't have enough ETB effects or a toolbox to really abuse Pod). Perhaps something like: 3 Chasm Skulker 4 Lotus Cobra (...

Ooh, good one. :) THE best one for this is Mentor of the Meek, which I have in there, but if I don't get him, it burns out its hand fast. Since you're playing Teeg, I'd recommend Soul of the Harvest. He can get out a lot of cards, he's outside most burn range, and he kind of covers your top end nic...

If you want to improve your Tron and Scapeshift matchups, you could board in Aven Mindcensor (which stops them from searching with Sylvan Scrying, Expedition Map, and Scapeshift). Also, one small note with Tec Edge versus Scapeshift: if they're trying to go off and search up Valakut and five Mountai...

No, because whenever an effect would allow you to cast something "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay additional costs (like Kicker) or alternate costs (like Bestow).

Yes to the first, and yes to the second (assuming that you're at less than twenty life and you aren't chump-blocking to where trample damage will be reduced to where your life total is greater than zero).

Given it's similar to a Howling Mine on legs, I'd be surprised if a Standard-legal version didn't cost less than five (2 for the Horned Turtle and 1CC for the effect). Probably something like 3UU or 3UB; 2UU or 2UB if it's been pushed.

Actually, the Storm player wouldn't have milled himself out, as Null Profusion says when you "play a card ," and copies of a spell won't trigger it. The triggered ability will trigger when you play a land card or cast a nonland card as a spell. It won't trigger when you play a copy of a ca...

I participated in a Conspiracy draft this evening. Best day of Magic in my life. I ended up Junding 'em out as well as forcing Storm. Someone cracked a Lore Seeker P1P1 and got Scourge from the random box that our store owner has for such occasions. When the pack got to me, I selected Temporal Fissu...

It's Grisly Spectacle.

The Gift of Immortality trick actually works at any time, because both the Bearer and the Gift are delayed triggers. It returns the creature to the battlefield immediately, but then returns during the end step; the Bearer's trigger goes off during end step as well. Bearer dies ==> Gift triggers, ret...

There's also the plan of winning with Psychatog, hypothetically speaking.

Or just bounce any blockers with the Retraction Helix'd guy.

I would consider trying to build around Endless Obedience (I used it with Pack Rat in M15 Standard for fun times with Ashen Rider). You might also use it with a cute interaction with Disciple of Deceit -- discard a six-drop, transmute for Endless Obedience.

Some fun cards you could include (that aren't on the list): Mind's Desire; Epic Experiment; Preordain; Serum Visions (annoyingly pricey); Condescend; Lightning Bolt; Empty the Warrens; Bonfire of the Damned; Reforge the Soul; pretty much any sweeper; Cyclonic Rift; Electrolyze; Young Pyromancer; Bla...

The problem with Suspension Field is that it isn't an instant -- you can't leave up two mana on turn two and Doom Blade their two-drop as you could in previous Standard formats; you'll have to deal with their two-drop on turn three (in which case you could probably have played Banishing Light anyway...

I think you may just be having bottlenecks in mana at 3 and 4 CMC -- none of your maindeck removal spells aren't castable until then. If there's a significant amount of aggro/ramp in your meta, I'd suggest either maindecking Bile Blight or adding one-drop accelerants (4 Elvish Mystics) to ensure you...

Off the top of my head, here are some G/U/colorless removal spells of varying quality and ability to qualify as a "removal spell": Claustrophobia; Agoraphobia; Pin to the Earth; Encrust; Rapid Hybridization; Polymorph; Beast Within; Arachnus Web; Hunt the Weak; Prey Upon; Narcolepsy; Britt...

So James can’t play Commander anymore because he beat Matt. Now he can’t play team because he scored first blood on LSV. This keeps up and in few more years he won’t be able to play magic at all. Of course he will at that point be 'Champion' of all known formats. It's okay. With all the spare time ...
