U/R Delver - In our favor. we run a decent amount of removal and they are hit hard by early hand disruption. furthermore they only run a few threats. you will want to side in more removal. i win most of the games against delverdecks.
RUG Canadian - no idea
U/W Stoneblade - well balanced at best. they tend to be quicker when it comes to throwing big threats and have decent protection through counters.
U/W Miracles - well balanced to good. play around terminus and wreck his hands. flash lingering souls only if really needed. they also run very few threats. if you can disrupt his hand aim for stuff thats enables miracle trickery, i.e. brainstorm and tops
Maverick - first game quite hard, winable but hard. but dystopia and/or perish will make it a lot more easier. i do board out slow stuff like bitterblossom, cause this matchup is won in earlygame. not too sure about that at all.
Dredge - preboard quite bad - like almost every deck is preboard bad against that deck. perhaps deathrite shaman from rtr will lighten that up. bring all the hate postboard and spare your stp/ptw for his ichorids.
Goblins - they are quick. if they start rolling you probably wont recover. aim t1 for vials or, more important lackeys. if you run zealous persecution, it will help a lot. bring some more removal. sofai feels like winmore, but is definitly nice to have
Merfolk - if you let them drop more than 2 creatures youll lose. decimate and decimate always their threats. liliana is gold, every removal is gold. hate them thou.
Death and Taxes - only played very few games. dystopia will shine here.
Reanimator - if they drop griselbrand, and they will try that, itll get dire for you. take out hymns if you still run them, take out midrange threats like bitterblossom, wreck his hands if possible early and most important put in graveyardhate.
Zoo - loads of threats. same as maverick. dystopia, more pinpointremoval and hope for being a bit lucky.
Enchantress - again, dystopia shines golden. sometimes enchantress takes a shitload of time to set up. use that time. dont try to fight it out when they are loaded with stuff already. some ppl like to run 1 or 2 disenchant or the new and better disenchant from rtr.
T.E.S. - i hate stormcomboplayers. they werenŽt breastfed. i swear. i run a set of ethersworn canonists only for those ..people.
Pox (and MBC variants) - well balanced. if you manage to survive their boardsweeping and to exile their recurring threats like netherspirit and bloodghast it will be golden. mox is nice here because pox wont affect it. they usually dont run lots of threats and sometimes you will see them deal damage through rack. if you run vindicate (or plan to splash g for abrupt decay) get rid of those threats.
again, just my opinion.
