I believe he made day two. I last tracked him at x-2, going into the last round.

EDIT: Confirmed that he made it in at x-2

Unfortunately, esper mentor as a whole is basically what you just said, less controlly than miracles, less good at going long than shardless, and both of these matchups are overall really poor for...

I like Unearth and agree with the counterspell point. Shamans were to facilitate a better green splash as well as gain life, since we're falling pretty low with incidental damage and painful truths....

I like the idea of the deep green splash for decays, similar to how storm boards into one green source and multiple decays since decay is great against decks that don't attack our mana. I agree with...

I'm flattered ;)

You played really well, I just had a much better draw the second game. Cheers, was fun playing against you!

As for going forward with the list, I like myth realized a lot, it...

Agreed with both of these points. Far too powerful to not be playing IMO

Intriguing, but not a huge fan of 4 wastelands. and not playing cabal therapy seems rather suspect.

Going forward, I think I wanna try the original list that sparked this thread, TheArchitect's...

The mana base was miserable, too many lands that can't cast Deathrite Shaman D=

Painful truths was compared to Shardless Agent that always hits ancestral visions, according to Chapin. Not sure how...

THIS. This seems like the tech we need to keep up with shardless now. I'd love to see a decklist if anyone has one, or I guess I can wait until round 15 =P

Go ahead and repost your list real quick, with whatever changes you've made, I'd be interested to analyze the scenario when I know the list

Getting demolished by shardless now...

As I mentioned above, I think that the rest in peace is likely just straight up wrong. Also, countertop serves as removal as well, but 3 swords is kinda pushing it

Saturating decay targets like this feels fine, but I'm not going to be the biggest fan of myth in a shell like this to be quite honest. Standstill is a very interesting idea, but it doesn't lend...

Everyone has days like that, I wouldn't be too worried, just keep it up! As for scrubland, I think we want a saturation of blue lands so I wouldn't play a scrubland. You just need to be a bit more...

Saw this list come in 5th at an IQ:

4 Monastery Mentor
4 Deathrite Shaman
4 Gitaxian Probe
2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
1 Marsh Flats
4 Ponder
3 Counterbalance
3 Dark Confidant

Fact or fiction seems right up our alley to be honest.

I'm much happier with that list, including the Perish change. Will sleeve it up sometime this week and play at locals!

How about the death and taxes matchup? That's a deck that I suspect will be cropping up again shortly.

Looks interesting, how did your matches against miracles play out? And did Divert ever do anything? I've considered the card in the past but I'm not convinced.

I'm speculating more than anything else, to be quite honest. I've swapped back to Miracles for the time being, as it just feels far more powerful against something like Shardless.

That's what we're all trying to figure out =P

The deck has actually lost so much of it's power that I'm actually considering just putting it on the backburner for now, unless it somehow gets...

Agreed. Have you thought about re-introducing Stoneforge mystic? Perhaps 2 SFM 1 Batterskull in place of the Digs? It could warrant testing again.

Just saw this:

Thoughts?

I've been playing TheArchitect's list with 2 Lingering Souls and 1 Sorin, Solemn Visitor in place of DTT and it's been rather lackluster to be honest. Deck feels weaker with this setup, and...

I can second that Flip Jace is quite good. I'm still probably considering Lingering Souls as a good way to replace DTT since it allows us another angle of attack, or perhaps Angler. I dislike that...
