1 in the pool), casting sprouting vines for 2 mana for four copies (at this point I have all but one basic out of the deck), One floating, no land drop, cross fingers and flux for 7 new card! I left floatiing, untapping my two bounelands, and generating roughly 1 million mana by chaining snaps and cloud of faeries with a familiar in play. Blighted agent comes down, and reckless charge it twice for seven poison. So I kind of fizzled, kind of didn't, because I just needed to either buy a few turns, or find another charge.
Our Turn 6:
Cast Dark Ritual off of Underground Sea (Storm: 1, Available Mana:
Cast Lion's Eye Diamond (Storm: 2, Available Mana: BBB, G/U, U/B, B/R).
Cast Gitaxian Probe, breaking Lion's Eye Diamond in response (Storm: 3, Life: 5, Available Mana:
Cast Burning Wish for Time Spiral (Storm: 4, Life: 5, Available Mana: UUU, BBB, U/B).
Cast Time Spiral, untapping any tapped lands (Storm: 5, Life: 5, Available Mana: G/U, U/B, U/B, U/B, B/R)
With only 1 card left in deck (Wish) and 6 cards in the Graveyard, your seven cards off Time Spiral should be the following:
Burning Wish
Gitaxian Probe
Gitaxian Probe
Dark Ritual
Lion's Eye Diamond
Massacre
Doomsday
Cast Dark Ritual off of Underground Sea (Storm: 6, Life: 5, Available Mana:

Cast Tendrils of Agony (Storm: 9, Life: 5, Available Mana: U/B).
It's bigger in Spain iirc and there's a bunch of cool decks it enables, like Countertop Faeries and a few neat combo decks. I can't remember who posted it but iirc there's a link to the Italian meta website somewhere in these forums?
Yeah, I used to organize Peasant events, but that was before my son was born, so these decklists are all over three years old. The French rules are mainly obtuse because they refuse to use Gatherer to determine rarity and insist on using Crystal Keep. So Mishra's Factory is a common because one of its four printings was at C1 I believe, and only printed sets count I think?
The metagame was pretty varied over the five years we ran monthly Peasant tournaments. The only period where it felt stagnant (and attendance really suffered) was shortly before we banned Thopter Foundry. That deck was just way too consistent and good, so you'ld see a mix of Foundry decks and dedicated hate decks. That's when we intervened. I think we were basically banning wit a Modern mentality before that format was a thing, we wanted to keep the format to be not too cutthroat, so showing up with a new brew was actually viable. I had great fun with zany decks like Eldrazi Green Tron, Karma Softlock, Dream of the Dead Blink,
Infect, and Arcane! Tide Combo, just to name a few original decks that all posted winning records. I think Arcane Tide is the only deck I played more than twice in the four years I've played because I was pretty proud of that combo deck.
It was never a problem because it takes up one of your precious five uncommon slots, and the format doesn't exclusively revolve around one-drops. Faeries is a good deck in the format, and it usually plays some mix of Force of Will, Mental Misstep, and/or Favorable Winds.
) all you do is splice and gain value while milling yourself then hit them with a huge Ire. The best part is no one has any idea what you are doing (Dem rogue brews) and you can sometimes sneak in a game one against delver. The sideboard is a mess. I should have really put something in for tron. Anyway, I shall let you good folks know how bad I end up going.
