Dreadstill is still a decent choice to play in the current meta. It still has the best combination of fast disruption, lockdown cards, fast wins and card advantage and selection.

It's getting hammered on by Qasali Pridemage and to a lesser extent the spread of Spell Snare, which is not a bad thing - because before those two cards became widespread I felt like the 3c list was far and away the best list in the meta.

The only question that I have at the moment is whether or not the 2c (really MUC) list that Roodmistah favors has regained top position (in terms of Dreadstill pecking order) over the 3c Goyf version that J.V. runs. The 2c list has a better mana base for the Stifle/Wasteland heavy meta that we're in at the moment. The 3c list has Firespout, which is the best addition Dreadstill has seen recently.
