Good writeup and congratulations on a good finish.

How is the meta in your area? I am always curious who metas vary in different regions.

3 Decay main testing tonight was inconclusive. I had it in place of Daze.

Rd. 1: Lands, 2-0. Not much to decay there.

Rd. 2: Pseudo-Mirror Loss 1-2 (Brew with 4 MD Lillis). I guess it could...

I definitely will let you know. It'll be the Card Kingdom Ballard meta, which for me has meant you could face anything.

BTW, now that I know your Source name: good briefly running into you at the...

Been feeling saucy lately, and I'm sleeving up a list with 3 Abrupt Decay main in place of 3 Daze. I'll take it to my weekly this week.

Might be terrible, but I've been curious about it and...

I've been fairly dismissive of Hapless Researcher in the past, but if it worked for Chase, I'm willing to give it q second chance.

Also, with the format swamped with Shardless, Researcher is a...

Yikes.

I forgot, I also sometimes bring in a show and tell or 2, for rest in peace.

My sample size is relatively low (probably played 4-5 competitive matches vs DnT), but I think I've...

Off the top of my head:

Iona vs ANT game 1. Game 2 is riskier because they have access to bounce spells. There's also an argument for going for Griselbrand first, drawing immediately, and looking...

I've been playing that creature suite with Inkwell instead of grave titan. It gives me a lot more game vs. DnT.

The trounle is, I expect to see plenty of both DnT and lilliana decks in SeaTac, and...

Been wondering this myself. Unfortunately I only own 3 Underground Seas, so that's crimping me a tad.

My current manabase is:

3 Sea
1 Swamp
1 Island
4 Delta
2 Mire
2 Strand

I will admit to losing a Griselbrand to Delver+Dismember out of RUG. And don't forget, you only gain 2 life. Feels gross. Actually, that might have been postboard.

I only show up for "tournament" (well, weekly tournament) play, which is generally 30-40 people. I don't really have time or energy to show up on random off-days unfortunately.

As for specific...

Seattle meta can be a little tricky to pin down on any given day, because plenty of people have large collections and can switch among different decks.

That said, in my local shop (Card Kingdom),...

Curious why you expect leyline of the void in Seattle?

Seattle is my local and I play graveyard decks almost exclusively. I rarely see leyline. Cage has been much more common as of late.

Good to know, thanks guys.

Currently running 1 duress, 2 thoughtseize main, 3 duress in the board (somehow I only own 2 thoughtseize).

I'll play in a GPT this weekend and see how I like that...

So you board out most or all of your countermagic in virtually every matchup?

I'm new to the deck, but why not just shave some main board for extra discard effects if they are coming in so often?

Seeing Gemstone Caverns in some Players Championship lists.

Maybe I'm behind the times, but this is new to me. Anyone go this route that can explain why? Just extra speed on the draw?

If you...
