The last SCG Portland event, there was alot of DnT and Miracles, so I would leave the Trickbind in. There was also a fair amount of Delver and Cloudpost. If you prepare for those 4, I think you...

Ragdoll, Snapcaster is garb in this deck mainly because it doesn't work with Omniscience. Don't get me wrong, snapcasting SnT is great and all, but if you're looking for that effect, you'd be better...
Barsoom, the thing with Boseiju is that SnT is all you need to resolve. Against Miracles, which is where its at it's best, once you have Omni in play, you force your opponent to have more counter...
Ensnaring Bridge does almost nothing against Delver. The way you beat them is by attacking their ability to interact, aka Defense Grid. If you want to start main decking it, that's fine. But you...
UR is the same as every other delver matchup. This deck doesn't care about Cruise. Defense Grid is a house as per usual. Nothing really unexpected
Sure, ideally it costs 1 less, but that's usually not until turn 5-6. Plus Intuition has the guarantee that Dig doesn't. Intuition is actually castable on turn 2 as well. In fact, Intuition is just...
I don't really have a meta to prep for. There is absolutely no legacy scene where I'm from. I do all of my testing on cockatrice. The next event I'm planning on playing in is Portland in December....
I don't think you guys are getting what I'm saying about DTT. I can't cast the card in a timely fashion. When I'm actually able to cast it, it's usually too late. It's not how I'm using it, it's that...
In any matchup (including goldfishing) I've yet to be able to cast it before turn 5 without Dream Halls/Omniscience. It feels like a wasted turn when I draw it. If I need to recover from discard, I...
Its been highly mediocre for me. It gets outclassed by every other card that says "draw a card" in the deck. Its far too hard to cast. I feel like its infinitely worse than Personal Tutor (the card I...
Dig is solid, but it's by no means the end all be all. Probably the worst of the cantrips in the deck, at least in my testing.
You lose. Its a 95/5 Matchup
Leyline of Sanctity has always been fantastic against any deck with Hymn. Really, its a 50/50 matchup that depends almost entirely on what cards each player sees. Sometimes the delver player finds a...
Force is a necessary evil to give you game against other combo. If it weren't for that, I'd be frontloading 4 Defense Grid in the main over them, and add a 5th sol land. As far as Leyline goes, I...
What baffles me that people are more willing to try this card because it's good against discard, when Jace has been sitting in the corner just waiting to get picked. He's just as good, if not better...
The only reason to play FF is for the backdoor Dream Halls kill. If you want it for the Clique/Rider/O-ring scenarios, just play the Quicken/Trickbind in your board and save yourself some time and a...
I play the Jaces and Tutors in place of Pact mainly because I can't stand having multiple counterspells as weird as that sounds. I'd rather my cards did something besides sit there and maybe be...
One important detail you missed in the elves matchup is what happens if you miss. Sure, you found the wish and got there, but if you didn't and they drop Ruric Thar next turn, what would have been...
I'm thinking a Preordain, but I'm not 100% sure. To be honest, I haven't really found a matchup where I would board him out. You can definitely make an argument for storm, but it's not like he's bad...
Ok. Against BUG and MUD, Blood Moon doesn't come down fast enough to be relevant (or it just eats a Daze and you are still having issues). They're doing their important things on the first 2 turns of...
Wouldn't Leyline just be better in that matchup? Plus, what matchups is blood moon hedging against?
There's no need for it when Personal Tutor exists. And most people don't play that
If you play Jace at all you need to play at least 2. That way you have the capability to go infinite with Emrakul as well. As far as Leyline of anticipation goes, I personally don't like wasting a...
I personally have no issues with DnT. Thalia is hardly an issue, at least for me, and Cannonist is more of a nuisance than a threat. One thing that does help I think is having access to the extra...
Can you elaborate?
