    Does the fact that both Confluence and Chandra stand to get weaker against Planeswalkers not matter too much?

    I rather like the durdly Bitterblossom build, but sometimes you just have to smash them.

    Re: [DTB] Death and Taxes

    Is Prelate on 1 vs Burn actually correct? It turns off our Swords for gaining life, and only hits 12 of their spells since their creatures aren't stopped by Prelate. Post-board they'll have at...

    Yeah, that follows. I usually see Karakas with Knights in big Zoo, but overall your low-to-the-ground build is much more my speed. Thanks for sharing!

    @haganbmj What's the purpose of the single Teeg? The chances of randomly finding it at the right time is very low. I usually see Teeg in Zoo with GSZ.

    Re: [Deck] Dragon Stompy

    Grafdigger's Cage would be great in both of these, except for the fact that it's CMC1. Is there a similar effect at CMC2+?

    Also, it seems like Burning Wish has totally fallen out of favor now?

    Note that of those, only Demise for 1 is faster than our mono-white options, e.g. Holy Light is a sweeper of sorts at cmc 3. Many of those splash cards are better than what we get in white, but...

    Re: [Deck/Primer] Countersliver (MeatHooks)

    You might want more blue to fully enable FoW. I've heard 14 non-FoW cards is pretty much a bare minimum. I might have missed something but I count 10.

    Meaning more than not scary at all? This deck is currently not competitive in the meta. Merfolk is the better Lord tribal deck, and even that is not tier 1.

    The problem with Slivers is twofold. ...

    Woah there, I'm definitely not convinced that this ability is better than Kira's. Sure it's better in the mana-constrained early game, but this isn't a 1-drop. Once you get to turn 4+ when you have...
