Winning vs sneak n show and bant miracles, losing to pox and uw stoneblade.
match1 = uw stoneblade: i got g1, but g2 and g3 he had ALL the hate :cry:;
match2 = bant miracles: good matchup, got supper aggressive and there was nothing he could do;
match3 = pox: game 1, he goes mana>dark ritual>ashiok (the 1of ashiok in his deck :rolleyes:)... i stared at him for like 15seconds and conceded... I got g2 luckily with bridge zombies, g3 he started with leyline, i destroyed it... he cast ensnaring bridge and then another leyline on the following turn... i had one force of vigor in hand, but no pitch... i cast a stitcher supplier and the top card was a vengevine... All the other FoV were milled, he LLotV and discard my last one....gg;
match4 = sneak n show: got g1 with anger, g2 i couldnt remove his grafdiggers cage and griselbrand got him the game... g3 i made 3 bridge zombies after an emrakul hit from sneak attack, force of vigor was MVP here, being able to take sneak attack and cage;
Notes:
Satyr is great, he does everything you want to do in this deck:
-is a creature for triggering vengevine (which can be milled by him)
-pitch for force of vigor, play 4 on the SB, card is busted for the deck
-cast hogaak
-mill yourself
-get you a land (good in a 19 lands deck)
I think the only downside of satyr is him (as well as stitcher supplier) sometimes milling the SB cards you bring in.
For the SB, the idea is to have 7 cards to deal with hate (leyline/chalice/rip/cage/ etc), and 7 cards to fight opposing, faster combos.
The 15th slot is for the 4th therapy (or maybe it can turn into a wasteland for the crop package);
The problem Im facing the most is what to take out of the deck when sideboarding, Im always diluting the deck a little bit, taking out 1 of each piece in order to bring in the new stuff.
Changes on the above list:
I will probably replace the decays for trophies, as it can hit leyline and some other threats, and perhaps im replacing something else with the 4th therapy, leaving space for a wasteland on the SB. Will do these changes for the next weekly and see what happens.
Cheers!
