I dont see this taking off. Its design is pure profit mongering by wotc. They should have chosen something like choose your own standard.

I like damnation but not preboard. I feel like you already have a shit ton of removal to handle those situations.
Board pressense: requirements: good against fatal push, works well with...
I like your thinking. Spell pierce IS brutal.
Heres what ive got so far.

3x Sakura Tribe Elder
3x Garruk Wildspeaker
3x Inquisition of Kozilek
2x Thoughtseize
Im not looking to pick a fight on to ramp or not to ramp. Every color has access to it in the form of bauble and or signets, search for tommorow is significantly better and elder is fine.
I do...
The first sentence is unfounded. In a format where others are doing busted things, your playing ramp to play a busted sorcery, (that doesnt win you the game.) The plainswalkers are fine, but if they...
The issue i see with the cloud lists is everyone else seems to play aggresive strategies, which will put a clock on this deck. I dont see green as being a great splash option, especially post board...
Thats a very weak argument. Your either trying to lock the board down while searching for your win condition or whats the point? Why is this "still" better then traditional UWX landstill or a tempo...
You lost ALOT of matches a counterbalance based deck "should" win. Thats probobly why without top its pretty weak.
Also where are your win conditions. This seems like a bigger problem.
update. still testing. just got back into the format. from first look it looks like the bug deck is just stronger. both against us and as a deck. need to find a trump for that deck. need more...

I think the overall speed of the format makes playing goyf really not all that sweet without direct damage backing you up for the one time it actually connects. Cards like Delver are strictly...
I don't necessarily hate the idea of making the archetype more like Rug currently, but if you do, I firmly feel like your losing value in other places where its not necessary.
I feel like clique...
Has anyone tested Centaur Healer by chance? I havent gotten a chance to test against the burn decks and I wonder what the results were. Without rhox it doesnt seem favorable.
I'm not really sure why people are running stoneforge mystic in bant right now. You have access to green sun zenith, which is infinitely better for the archetype as a whole in the current meta game....
Welcome. New horizon's and UGw Tempo are in fact different archetypes. This deck is a bit faster and is generally more aggressive then its more mid-range counter part.
The "fat" as you say is...
No. The lifegain off of swords doesn't directly negate your tempo.
As far as the three drops are concerned I don't understand. Did zoo both big and small versions run 3 drops?
Are the delvers...
subbed out the blast for a rhox.
So heres an update on the model I posted last time. I did some testing and im fairly happy with the following.

1x relic
1x snapcaster I am testing at the moment. I think theyll be...
Would you consider a 10$ buy in to attract the ann arbor crew?
So heres the combo version I play

14: Watery Grave
15: Seachrome Coast
16: Darkslick Shores
I'd like to talk alittle more about the Jund version.
Are there any engines that can be introduced to the deck?
Can you breakdown the current board, on why you selected those specific choices?...
This just isn't true. Alot of the major countermagic in this format are tempo counterspells like daze, spell pierce etc. Mostly irrelivent. on the occasion that you do face a deck with lots of hard...
Also this business about tight lists is false. I chose not to play countermagic, not I couldnt.
In my testing I found that adding moree countermagic didnt help in the current metagame. I have always played 3x tutor in my list, and havent ever needed four except in certain matchups, ie whoch is...
