I never said, that it was better.
I still think that everybody who have tested this deck for longer time than 3-4 days, now plays the 5c Manabase, for the reasons you've written and so on.
It wasn't directly a question to you, but more in general :).
But ok, then I'm happy that i don't have strange "feelings" (dont know an good english word here..) about the manabase and why play it this way :).
