Our :u::w: "control" match just got better. Our D&T match got a little worse if they dump Cavern. Bye, bye Boseiju!Quote:

On the plus side, early guess is that D&T will be in a pretty bad place in the new meta. Miracles was a pretty good matchup for them and combo, Elves, and TNN could make more appearances.Quote:

Moons could be an issue, but Painter just lost Top.
Maybe D&T becomes mostly Imperial Taxes? There's our Moon deck. :(Quote:

Another thing to consider is that Port is again potentially a viable player, since it doesn't feed DRS and getting Miracles off of white isnt as important.
Long live Port!Quote:

I definitely think we need a more Leovold focused answer in the sideboard now. Not sure exactly what fits the bill here unfortunately, maybe something weird like conflagrate, toxic deluge, or even lightning axe? Maybe the black splash is again something to look towards for TS and decay?Quote:

Port should make it vastly easier to keep them off that triple-colour cost though. GQ dosen't help much at all to stop that.Quote:

It's taking the Boseiju slot in my board. :laugh:Quote:

I was actually thinking like thisQuote:

Ports are going back in my main deck!
Not sure how relevant DRS is though. Usually we eat him. If he sticks, it's pretty hard not to feed him.
Still have to get my other 2 Foil Ports. I guess I can try a split for the time being.
