    Re: [Developmental] GW Opal-Wave

    I think Veil of Summer may be a better answer, and likely main deck material. As it can give you shoud vs. storm, force a spell through a counter, or protect our goodies from abrupt decay all while...

    Re: [Developmental] GW Opal-Wave

    With the printing of Ajani's Welcome this deck now has a clean low-curve white answer to True-name Nemesis, & burn combined that can be found with Kruphix's Insight or Commune with the Gods.

    Here is a nearly Mono White list that does pretty well.

    Much heavier on the creature hate, and less durdle. It uses the Parfait engine of Land Tax and Scroll Rack to draw tons of cards.

    Re: [Developmental] GW Opal-Wave

    Looking at the match losses I decided mid Testing day to bump the decks land now up to 22. This helps alleviate the mana denial strategies. Didn't cut Replenish and add the land till the 2nd Grixis...

    Re: [Developmental] GW Opal-Wave

    You can, but at this time I’m unsure what you would gain. The original (now 18 year old list) was UW, and if you wanted to play blue, I think you would just keep it UW and be more control than to...

    Yeah sorry, I’m just trying to find the right combo of cards that makes the actual combo easy to assemble. You’d think I was a card pusher :)

    Re: [Developmental] GW Opal-Wave

    That's a decent idea! I may try that. I will certainly give it a go in tournament practice. My instincts tell me to try Ghostly Prison or Elephant Grass first. They can't counter all of that, and...

    Ran a League tonight with the list above, and the sideboard below. I went 3-2 both losses to TNN in a Delver shell. Got to rethink that plan a little bit I think. Terminus would work, but all of...

    Slayjay, the answer is dependent on the rest of the list and the overall gameplan. If your closer to traditional Enchantress (playing Enchantress’s Presence) then Sterling Grove is likely the better...

    Re: [Developmental] GW Opal-Wave

    Played a lot of matches today an yesterday. One thin I have learned is the deck likes Lotus Cobra.
