Because its tHreshold.

Under Chalice at 0 and 1, you need to have at least two colorless lands to play EE @ 0. Depending on the build, Landstill generally has 4-6 colorless lands. Getting two is tough job against aggro...

This is essentially a biggest problem with control decks right now - you can't squeeze answers for everything. You can tune to beat every deck, but all your other match ups are going to suck.
...

You stated that even 6 4cc spells is about too much. Now its 8-10? Personally I run 7: 2Elspeth, 2WoG, 2 Humility and 1JTMS (I would've liked 3, but I can't afford to run nine 4cc cards). And JTMS is...

The problem is, if this deck doesn't run 4cc bombs, it falls apart. Landstill can not win if it isn't generating card advantage. There aren't many 1-2cc spells that generate card advantage, only...

Spell Pierce is conditional. It can be useful in mid game, but most of the time only if you run the mana denial, which this deck lagerly doesn't.
You don't want to have or topdeck useless cards. SP...

Bridge means that you should keep your hand small. The deck aims to have the hand full of cards. Especially when you're winning.

This. Round after round you're facing the Wasteland/Vial decks, and I needn't to explain how painful it is, being wastelanded twice, unable to hit your 4th land, sitting with all these 4cc bombs and...

I'd say Fire/Ice and Lightning Helix are better than bolt, if you want to go with red.

About UWG list: Grip just isn't worth it. The list doesn't even run Nantuko Monastery. Its just plain UW if...

Personally I find 4c build to be a better contender in this metagame, on a basis of Pernicious Deed being awesome, and having 3 color answers to Iona maindeck.

Personally, before I start running useless lategame stuff like Spell Pierce, I'd run maindeck gravehate: Relics. They always at least cantrip, hose a ton of decks and can be cast off any land. And...

Actually Humility does nothing against Reanimator. It can't be reasonably cast before they get Iona out and what are the odds of SnTelling it? They board in their bounce anyway. It also is...

Except that it isn't. Should actually be okay against Zoo and all other random agressive decks, but would still lose to Merfolk.

I've lost the last GPT Madrid in the finals, losing to Merfolk (also lost to Merfolk in the swiss). Played UWb Wish version.
Its so horrible of a match up, and no, Plagues don't really help.

Sort of the same problem I've noticed in the last month. Too many bad match ups, too little space in the sideboard and main deck.

Storm combo is horrible preboard, both Reanimator and Dredge are...

Wish into bounce/diabolic edict/doomblade is certainly better than Innocent Blood.

And KoTRs if there's a land shell?

Congrats! What was your list? Would you write a thorough report?

In the meanwhile, I've also top8ed a GPT, but lost outright to Dreamhalls combo, by a huge punt.

Explosives is a key card vs Zoo. It lets you survive the early 1cc drops assault not falling into burn range. Also, sometimes it rids you of these Chokes and Vortexes. And Library too.

C/B against...

Because EE is one of the best versatile removal spells in the game. I'd say only PerDeed is better, but it can't be run in a UW deck for obvious reasons.

The first chance amounts roughly to 44%, the second is irrelevant. You shouldn't count on your opponents making the wrong calls. If they do - you benefit, but don't plan on it. 44% is much too high...

Probably not. The above hand is absolutely awful, if you opponent happens to hold a single Wasteland. He did, two of them. Anything that would have let you cast at least a single spell would have...

I'd probably mulligan this. Keeping a hand that folds to one wasteland is generally a bad thing. And you are ought to expect wastelands in this match. Have it been the basic Island, or Fetch instead...

Played the local tourney on Sunday, 25 people.

Round 1. Enchantress
G1: I didn't know what's he's playing, so I keep a good anti-aggro hand, with snare, wrath, some card draw. Turns out he's...

Yeah, indestructible disk is your goal in a deck where you run one copy of a disk, two copies of elspeth and most things are decided before you can even cast the mentioned spells, let alone assemble...
