Cool. That is close to what I have been playing but with a way better manabase.
I ran Soul-Guide Lantern with Urza’s Saga, which was actually pretty good. But yeah, my Karnatructs are generally too...

Help me Lord Fox, you’re my only hope.
Been trying UW with the new cards and hemorrhaging tickets but having fun with it.
Do you have a proposed list?
Liking Timeless Dragon and Dress Down. Not...
You can play Brazen Borrower. "An adventurer card is a creature card in every zone except the stack, as well as while on the stack if not cast as an Adventure. Ignore its alternative characteristics...
Well, took my list above to a 3-2 finish in a league. Never put Obosh on the stack. Didn't really miss Daze except for in the Sneak and Show matchup (which I sadly lost).
I might try a version with...
I like it. And no more feel-bads when you shut off your own Dazes with proliferate. May be hard to get to 3 mana in time for this when you can't cantrip though.
I played this list a few times for fun:
Companion
Obosh, the Preypiercer
Main
4 Brainstorm
4 Delver of Secrets
I think needle and revoker are fine in the matchup but it will still be an uphill battle, so hopefully they help you in other matchups too. I don’t think To the Slaughter is worth it for the reasons...
Hex Parasite has been played in modern esper builds, primarily as a way to tank your life that can be tutored with Ranger-Captain of Eos. I can’t imagine it is very effective against the Bant...
I updated the primer.
I added Basic_Swamp's lates 1st place list from the recent Legacy Challenge.
I also added entries for Force of Negation, Plague Engineer, Mystical Dispute, Contentious Plan,...
A red splash got 7th Place at an SCG Classic in January. People also tried Dreadhorde Arcanist when that came out, but I haven't seen it lately.
You can't argue with red blasts. However, when I've...
Agree with Maximus. I didn't attempt to add a sideboard guide to the primer because sideboarding is so dependent on your specific 75 and guides quickly become outdated. If you have specific...
I have enjoyed Contentious Plan as a focused answer to Chalice. I usually feel so happy when I have it to tick a Chalice to 2 that I don't even think about the extra card, then I look at my hand with...
Is this deck dead? Is this thread dead? Is the Source dead? No.
Is took Death’s Shadow to a local 3K. Trying Snuff Out over Dismember since there are more non-black creatures I want to remove...
It looks like we'll get a few upgrades in War of the Spark
Liliana's Triumph should replace Diabolic Edict. Contentious Plans might be a good sideboard card against Chalice, similar to Throne of...
I updated the OP a little bit today:
Added a link to the discord.
Added an entry for Bitterblossom
Added a link to Mengucci's talk on UB Shadow
Made it to the ChannelFireball 4k this weekend:
Round 1 v. ANT (CyrusCG) (0-2)
Game 1: Spoiler alert: Cyrus is good at ANT. I have a good hand with two Thoughtseize into double Shadow, and...
I'll add some thoughts:
Bitterblossom
I haven't specifically tested this in Shadow and I know it has been in the sideboard of some well-placing lists, but I am unimpressed with this card. I have...
I agree that Wasteland is good to punish their clunkiness and keep your Dazes live.
Another suggestion is to cut Fatal Push post-board. It is your worst removal spell against them because it can't...
I don't think Contagion is what you want. Thinking about the common situations where there are multiple X/1s:
Baleful Strix - Gives an opponent a 3 for 1 or a 4 for 2
Young Pyromancer - Gives...
Thanks for the positive comments. I don't get to play as much as I'd like, so its nice to have a chance to think and write about Magic.
As for Mind Bomb, I guess the dream scenario is finishing...
Ok, I have put together a primer here in the hope that we can move to Established.
Please let me know if you have any corrections or suggestions.

I'll write something. Should I just post it in this thread?
Thanks for the reply. This matches my experience as well.
Hi ironclad,
I noticed your trend against Grixis Delver of loss, loss, win, win over your last few posts. Any insight on what was different between the losses and the wins? Any tips on how to...
