    Re: [Deck] Dreadstill - Enter the Fist

    Cool. That is close to what I have been playing but with a way better manabase.
    I ran Soul-Guide Lantern with Urza’s Saga, which was actually pretty good. But yeah, my Karnatructs are generally too...

    Help me Lord Fox, you’re my only hope.

    Been trying UW with the new cards and hemorrhaging tickets but having fun with it.

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    Well, took my list above to a 3-2 finish in a league. Never put Obosh on the stack. Didn't really miss Daze except for in the Sneak and Show matchup (which I sadly lost).
    I might try a version with...

    Re: [Primer] UB Death's Shadow

    I like it. And no more feel-bads when you shut off your own Dazes with proliferate. May be hard to get to 3 mana in time for this when you can't cantrip though.

    I think needle and revoker are fine in the matchup but it will still be an uphill battle, so hopefully they help you in other matchups too. I don’t think To the Slaughter is worth it for the reasons...

    Hex Parasite has been played in modern esper builds, primarily as a way to tank your life that can be tutored with Ranger-Captain of Eos. I can’t imagine it is very effective against the Bant...

    A red splash got 7th Place at an SCG Classic in January. People also tried Dreadhorde Arcanist when that came out, but I haven't seen it lately.

    Agree with Maximus. I didn't attempt to add a sideboard guide to the primer because sideboarding is so dependent on your specific 75 and guides quickly become outdated. If you have specific...

    I have enjoyed Contentious Plan as a focused answer to Chalice. I usually feel so happy when I have it to tick a Chalice to 2 that I don't even think about the extra card, then I look at my hand with...

    Liliana's Triumph should replace Diabolic Edict. Contentious Plans might be a good sideboard card against Chalice, similar to Throne of...

    I agree that Wasteland is good to punish their clunkiness and keep your Dazes live.

    Another suggestion is to cut Fatal Push post-board. It is your worst removal spell against them because it can't...
