Matt, you run them SFM over with that Dreadnought ^_^ Goyf and Bobs are issue though lol. I would personally swap ghastly Demise for GFTT. I played Demise extensively in Dreadstalker and it worked...

This is correct, and repeating what Atog Lord has said earlier: You cannot consistently beat Merfolks without Peacekeeper.

Merfolk is going to rebuild faster than you can win with...

Not too bad with this deck actually :) But I don't think you should cut Counterbalance. Dreadstill is a deck that can play out 2 roles: control or combo. If you cut Counterbalance, you weaken the...

What Rico said. People need to re-evaluate the statement "Vial decks make Standstill a dead card". The truth is Vial.dec's goal isn't about killing Standstill, it's about killing the control...

Chiming in on Misstep in decks packing Standstill:

Misstep on the play/draw is in every way ensuring an eary Standstill that resolves. If you're on the play, you no longer need hands with EOT...

Torpor Orb is pretty janky, but granted, it does has a nice ability on shutting down CiP abilities of opposing creatures, so it's not entirely dead in this deck. A 1-off replacing the lone trickbind...

No, yeah I agree that with Lavamancers maindeck, there is less need for manlands (you can't support URb manabase with 8 colorless if you plan on using lavamancers anyway). I wasn't clear as in would...

Xiang, that list looks incredible! What are your thoughts on Standstills replacing predicts in the Italian list? It seems that you should have almost little problem against Tribal with that list. ...

She's decent against Dredge and Elves as well just to name a few.

My group is adapting to Peacekeeper though, you'll see UB Merfolk packing 3 Smothers (decent in other matchups as well). I think...

Perish isn't good against Vengevival, and not good if they aren't dumb players that overextend. Still doesn't solve VV, which is the problem that the deck creates. Hibernation is better against VV,...

Rico I understand what you mean, and I think I didn't phrase/argue correctly but what I'm saying that Standstills ain't hot against Merfolks, which we all know, so an alternative e.g. Predict maybe...

At least my personal experience with Predict was even with its synergy with Brainstorm/Top, if I don't have Top, Predict just simply isn't worth playing. Playing a Brainstorm following up with a Top...

This, not to mention setting up Standstill is easier with the deck's strong early permission suite + factory. If you really wanted to Predict with Top/Brainstorm, it boils down to a total of...
