Aren't the future DTBs - Sneak and Show, UBxx DRS/TNN/Jitte pile, UBxx Delver, Storm and Elves?
Feel like if the TNN strategy is the best fair blue control thing to be doing we're terrified of it...
Batterskull is also still really good against the BUG games w/o TNN. Being big enough to rumble, not soft to AD and often able to strap onto fresh bodies if/as the game grinds later. Not saying...
I would go with a "Deep End" list and see if you can get a 3rd strong pilot to test the meta against, then you can coach your friend 2v1 in how major match ups play and what our deck of answers best...
It does seem strange that such an obviously strong card is not an instant 4-of. I agree. But, Luca is on the money here. It's a hedge because I really don't want to see two of these off the top of...
I could be wrong, but on paper I like Resto Angel better. Resto matches up better against Bolt and feel like Flash is strong versus Shardless... guess this new angel is maybe better against Eldrazi...
13 W is definitely a little greedy. Some of it depends on how many WW casting cost cards you're running. I'm usually playing ~10 WW cards and find 14-15 to be optimal. I could see if you were...
LOL 4 mb Ethersworn Canonist to start.
Karakas is pretty important against Show and Tell, Reanimator/Tin Fins and Miracles. 1-2 copies would effect the win rate against those archetypes. Against most other archetypes it isn't hugely...
I acknowledge I'm probably in the minority, but I really prefer Gut Shot over Path to Exile.
The matches I wan't added point removal are namely - Elves, Infect, Mother of Runes decks, Young...
For what it's worth Gut Shot does a lot of this without needing to do anything to the mana.
Maybe dropping something like a Wingmare and a Image for 2 Meddling Mage?
Having Mage seems like big game against OmniTell hitting SnT, Miracles hitting Terminus, and can do some work against other...
I think what's being said is that when Fatal cast Phantasmal Image copying Craterhoof Behemoth his elves opponent responded to the +X/+X trigger by using Symbiote to untap Image triggering it to sac...
Council's Judgment has been a house for me out of the board. I find it comes in over STP in a lot of midrange/control matches.
The best cards out of SBs are: Pithing Needle, Cataclysm, and Gaddock Teeg - the former attacking Top the latter limiting their Miracles. Council's Judgment can be fine too, to remove a Planeswalker...
Got excited seeing Legendary Creature - Spirit Soldier. Anafenza, the only spirit without flying~ I keep hoping for that Legendary 2/x flier at 2cc - some of the application against Delver that...
I haven't seen a dedicated Lands deck with Titania - that definitely might be a thing though.
Usually vs ~40 lands, Punishing Fire, Loam, Moxen, Explorations, and 6ish flex card (Intuition,...
In what match-ups is Aura Shards used for, aside from TNN + equipment decks?
I mostly am using it against Stoneforge Mystic decks. It is very good in the mirror ... Miracles, Shardless, [UB]...
Against UR I bring out Mangara and Revokers for Absolute Law, Canonists and a Judgment.
Against UWR it depends on the build - with Delvers I take out Mangara and a Revoker for Council's Judgment. ...
Yea in an open meta I've found it to be a good piece of utility. In the past DnT ETutor boards have run Serenity and in this archetype Aura Shards is considerably better. In regards to Stoneblade...
I mostly am using it against Stoneforge Mystic decks. It is very good in the mirror - targeting Equipment, Revokers, Spirit of the Lab, and Aether Vial. As you mention there are a ton of fringe...
This is definitely the take away.
I've been really happy with the light Green splash for the past couple months.
5 Plains
4 Rishadan Port
4 Wasteland
3 Karakas
2 Savannah
1 Arid Mesa
I think we want to cut Mangara post board against Delver. The decks' CMC is so low to the ground that a 1/1 3drop that doesn't effect the board for a turn is often too slow. Delver decks are going...
Some players definitely do SB COP:Red especially if the SB shell is already running an ETutor or two. Outside Modo Idk that Burn makes up a large enough percentage of the metagame to devote slots to...
Is Kor Firewalker better than Fiendslayer Paladin ?
It would seem, the opponent has to be casting more than 2 spells a turn to make +1 life per spell > Lifelink. Firststrike and immunity to...
