i occasionally take him and the fathom seers and knight of white orchids out for a spin. UW tempo is an outdated deck designed to prey on an old meta. Im not aware of anyone actually playing WW.

In general, I'm not forcing a STP on a deathrite in a midrange matchup. So if you're pondering for countermagic, then it'd be for specifically daze, which seems loose, especially if there is a chance...
I'll be there. I might play delver though. If I do play DnT, it'll be a lean monowhite list. I don't think magus does enough vs the deathrite/bolt and combo decks to make opening yourself up to...
Thanks for the input.
I'll add that most elves lists have 2 basic forests and they usually fetch one early, so the second/third paths rarely ramp. Additionally, pathing a dryad arbor is sort of...
May I humbly suggest people looking to still play a UW control deck look back at the caw cartel decks? For about a year, I played "Miracles" without counterbalance and with only 0 to 2 tops, because...
Any miracles players who did not see this coming or who claimed that people should've adapted are in denial about the power level of their deck. A clue should've been how many players dedicated to...
Personally, I think with less need to run revoker, less need to run cavern, and more tnn and delver running around, it might be a good time to revisit avenger. I could even see a world where we go to...
I played the list last week for four rounds and then some casual games, so small sample size, but I really liked the ancient tombs. T1 vial + relic came up, as did t3 double port. The extra mana was...
The synergy between rallier and skyfisher is interesting. I worry that knight of the reliquary might not be better though.
It may be that this is our best option. The matchup isn't bad exactly, but with how prominent miracles is at the top tables of any larger tournament, I want the matchup to be as sound as possible. Vs...
Important topic. Off the top of my head:
-land sequencing (ie leading on port/plains/waste)
-deploying threats vs porting
-Using two ports in upkeep/draw.
-Porting fetch lands.
-Porting EOT vs...
Quoting for truth. Most new players autosearch batterskull and it's rarely correct.
I've also thought about arena, although I wonder if painful truths might not be better. Years ago, sinkhole was a popular tool to fight the UW stoneblade decks (we also used a sideboard creeping...
Watch out for fiery confluence! It's a beating.
With Malimujo's 75, how are you boarding vs miracles with entreat, with mentor, and on the play/draw? I feel that we need to leave in abrupt decays vs the mentor version so I'm not sure what comes...
Another card to consider is veteran armorer. It's janky but it protects all your guys from golgari charm, can be tutored, is proactive, and is a blowout Off vial. I don't use it in my meta but it's...
If you're tutoring for beaters, aren't you always getting flickerwisp for the rebuy?
I know you run the mox diamonds, but I still worry about your curve. I don't like more than 9 3 drops if I can help it.
Congrats dude. I hated to miss it. Have they announced the dates of the next one yet?
This is great. I won't be able to watch live but will watch replay!
PS. Is it just me, or is like our meta all tribal/creature decks? Why isn't someone with belcher just fucking people up?
Nice run. Sucked we couldn't draw, but I had drawn vs gobbos the round before. Glad you beat me. Sorry I played sloppy AF, but it's usually because we're having a good time. I too remember very...
Little report.
Played this list to a top4 yesterday in our local quarterly:
4 Mother
4 SFM
4 Thalia GoT
3 Revoker
2 Serra Avenger
4 Flickerwisp
It's yet to be determined what the best numbers are in DNT, but it seems lists are starting to converge. I'm not suggesting that any of these thoughts are better than the current monowhite lists, but...
I know it's not that popular anymore, but maverick can't beat displacer + mom.
