This was really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats! I was at the same tournament and finished 3-2-2, out of even top 32 contention. Both draws were against Port/Vial decks, and had games where my opponent had 3+ Ports keeping me off actually...

I'm going to try to trade for a couple Soothsayings (I know, they're only like $2.50 each, but still...) and test this as well. I've been sticking with the 'traditional' Mentor + UA build but am...

Very interesting stuff! I really like the power of Soothsaying in the later game, where it helps draw into action even better than Top did. I think you Soothsaying'd for 6+ a few times, which has to...

Ah, quite right. Not used to playing against a Prelate not set to 1. :\

3 Tundra
1 Volcanic Island
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Flooded Strand
2 Arid Mesa
4 Island

Sorry, I didn't phrase the first question very well. For Blood Moon I was mostly thinking of the Moon Stompy decks where I want to fetch basic Plains & Island but then can't cast Wear on a Chalice....

Thanks for the report & stream link! Quite jealous of your basics. :)

A couple questions on your list:

1. Why Wear // Tear over Disenchant? It seems like Disenchant is just a bit easier to...

On the subject of Monastery Mentor: This is my theory-crafting, and I'm not the best player, so take it for what it's worth.

From a deckbuilding perspective, compared to some of the recent Entreat...

Very nice!

I'd love to see some further discussion of general gameplay strategy. One topic is Portent -- especially when it is correct to Portent the opponent vs. yourself (i.e., how aggressive...
