Quote from: Bman0121 on March 30, 2013, 11:30:31 AMPainlands are too painful though. Fastlands have so much more capability and I rather not lose too much life later on. Fast lands have the possibility of screwing me over but they feel a lot safer midgame and early on as well because they don't cost any life at all.
Instead of {Darkslick Shores}, {Underground River} it can tap for a colorless if you need to and the 1 life isnt really relevant and it can never screw you over if you need to cast tezzeret

Path to Exile is not good with fast aggro because it does give them the mana way too early for effect where Dispatch may tap but it doesn't put them at an advantage against this deck.
Quote from: denotsKO on March 31, 2013, 09:45:47 PMThen I would rather pay the two for a shockland than spend it on more times than none on a painland. This is a slower version of affinity and cannot afford to waste 4 or more life midgame than it can earlier on. If I need to spend the blue or black mana later on, than it is going to be costy against stronger and faster aggro decks that do exist. I would rather be safe than sorry when using a painland even if it taps for colorless. More times than not I would need the mana and the life would be at some affect to me in the game. By using the fast lands, I can get it out earlier on and still be able to do something without it costing me much. I am only running two, so the possibility of it screwing me over is near nothing with Glimmervoid and Gemstone Mine along with the basic lands anyways.
You are aware of Tezzert's ultimate ability right? With your artifact count you should be able to gain life soon enough that a few life lost to a land will be nothing. If it is an issue you are playing it too soft.Quote from: DeathlyFoiend on March 30, 2013, 01:48:50 PMQuote from: Bman0121 on March 30, 2013, 11:30:31 AMPainlands are too painful though.

Quote from: Joshnoodles on June 11, 2013, 03:24:31 AMToo much reliance on color mana and they are not artifacts unless animated.
Why are you not playing {Blinkmoth Nexus} or {Inkmoth Nexus}? I've never seen an artifact deck not play either of these.
