Yeah, I've been enjoying how it feels like you have game against most decks in the field.
Against combo, playing a deck that's running 4x Hymn, 4x Force, 3x Thoughtseize, 3x Clique, 2x Snapcaster...

Against Aether Vials, we will soon be getting Abrupt Decay which will be fine since we'll have it online before they can really start dropping things with Vial. If we want, we can even use it to...
Went 2-2 this past weekend with DeMars' original Shardless list.
Lost to Maverick (my own build I was lending to my friend that was more anti-control due to our meta) and to a rogue UB tempo...
Don't get me wrong, I think Abrupt Decay is amazing too. I just think it serves a slightly different purpose than Ghastly Demise (and other 1 mana / free removal spells) do.
Imo, Abrupt Decay is...
Yeah, but you're playing free removal that costs you a significant chunk of your life, which is really bad against aggro. Also, against Aggro decks, I don't want to cascade into Hymn - cascading...
Regarding Baleful Strix vs Snapcaster Mage: I actually saw this in the comments, but DeMars responds to the same question and I came to the same conclusion. Strix is better when you're blind...
Most of the time, I don't mind Cascading into Brainstorm or Top since both cards are so powerful (I actually typically love Cascading into Top since you have so many ways to shuffle/filter cards...
Went 3-0-1 in our local tournament today. Beat Affinity, Uw Miracles (w/ Land Tax), MUC, and drew with Uw Miracle.
My thoughts on the Shardless version is that it plays significantly differently...
Yeah one thing I've liked about the Shardless version is that while it's not as controlling as the regular version, it's nice to have the option to aggro out if necessary.
Also, I've found that...
Yeah I'm really excited for Decay. I think it can replace 1 Ghastly Demise main and probably he GFTT, 1-2 Grips in the side.
So I've been playing Brian DeMars' Shardless BUG Control deck during the last 3 tournaments at LGS' in the area and have a total record of 8-1-3 (one ID). Each time I play, I'm still learning more...
I've still been playing around with the Shardless Agent version and been having a lot of fun with it.
I've enjoyed how the list has the options to just throw roadblocks in the path of your...
Yeah Abrupt Decay looks really sweet - we just have to find some room for it!
The question is though - is Ghastly Demise really that necessary now? Sure, having an answer to Mom & Lackey on the...
I played Brian DeMars' list again last night, going 3-1 (beating Burn, RGb Aggro Loam, UR Delver, lost to RUG).
I'm still fairly inexperienced at side boarding for control decks and was wondering...
Thanks for the link! I'll go back and read those pages.
Speaking of Ancestral Visions, have any of you guys given Brian DeMars' Shardless Agent control deck a spin?
I've been playing with it and it's been a blast! I'm not sure if it's different enough...
