I had some good experiences with the deck yesterday and thought I would share them. Went 4-0 in the local weekly tournament. I'll start off with the list and comment on the matches below.

Holy crap, a lot of nationalism going on in this thread. Don't know where to start.
Have to agree with the majority of the crowd, not having an English coverage is god damn weak. I'm European...
Lynx, Chain Lightning and PoP?
I don't know, there seems to be 10 different ways to build RUW right now, most of them at least viable and most of them pretty good, so I'm not judging. Just...
Why?
You only have to control the game until you've won it.
So how about not playing stifle/waste/daze then, and go along with the PtEs?
The tempo-package could easily become an extended counter-suite consisting of both spell pierce and counterspell, which...
I've been trying this deck out some more.
Compared to ANT and TES, the LEDs in this deck are quite weak. Sure, they are still black lotus in conjunction with PiF, so calling them weak might seem...
Congratulations Jason!
I am a hardcore fan of mongoose, but I know a lot of american players opt for snapcasters and/or lavamancers, and I guess there might be good reasons for doing so due to...
Well ok, I've been trying this deck out for a couple of days now, and in my very modest and humble not-at-all-pro opinion, it's Total Freakin' Bonkers!!
I would be very keen on hearing of any...
The problem with legacy is clearly that the player base is totally unable to take a hint!!
I mean jeezes christ people, come on.
Fun read. Naturally, I agree.
Berry:
I don't understand "beaten track" record. Do you mean it's been used before in the golden days?
If so, yeah sure, it's nothing out of the ordinary. I've been playing basically the same SB...
I played against Maverick in 3 rounds in GP Amsterdam, and I won them all. I expected the matchup to be much harder, but really, it isn't. 100% focus on disrupting mana goes a long way to never...
Well, you can't be sure of that, now can you?
I'm not sure I'm willing to leave that to chance.
Ok, look, I really respect the idea of Nacatls and whatever whatnot cmc1 beaters you can find in a blue aggro-control deck. I think it might be a reasonably good idea, and I don't doubt it can put up...
How was stifle during the tournament?
I'm wondering, since stifle is one of the spells I consider reducing to fit the missteps.
This line of reasoning strikes me as quite weird. Let's face it, there a r e many different ways to go with a GW midrange deck, and who are you to tell everyone that GSZ is the best way to go. I'm...
Yeah, OK, that was fun.
Some comments, such as those about library, make sense. The second major impression of the post is of course that you're a douche, but since that is obviously your...
Congrats!
Would you mind posting your 75?
(What did you take out for MM, did you use any of the original flex-slots, and what did the SB look like?)
After reading your claim in the NLT-thread to top8 either DC or Edison, I was looking forward to this a great deal. Huge respect for your confidence and your actual play skills. Congrats!
...
Coralhelm Commander has actually showed to be working fine outside of merfolk decks. It might be to weak for this deck though, it doesn't exactly have "send me farming" printed in the forehead, even...
I would really like to fit 2 grim lavamancers and a control magic effect to that maindeck.
Suggestions on what to cut?
-1 Jace?
-1 Clique?
-1 ?
I'd also have to use the old Fire // Ice in...
Not necessarily true, according to layer-rules.
For Wonder-Humility interactions, the timestamp applies. If wonder hits the yard when humility is already in play, the creatures fly. If you would...
Nice!
I'd love to read a report, with full SB in/out for the matches.
If you have the energy and time, that is.
I actually read that paniced OMG-the-meta-has-changed-my-Countertop-deck-sucks-Let's-BAN-something-thread just now.
It makes absolutely no sense, but still... Is anyone worried?
Since Wizards...
I also won (splited finals) a 5-swiss tournament with top 8 yesterday. Went 5-0-2 in total.
r1: Dredge, 2-1
r2: Aluren, 2-0
r3: DnT, 2-0
r4: ID
r5: ID
top8: DnT, 2-0
top4: Dredge, 2-1
That's perfectly fine, thanks for the effort to explain your statements.
I believe you have a point as well, some kind of split between snares, pierces and powerful removal is probably how i will...
