Just played at a small tournament with the following list:
4 Hapless Researcher
2 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy
3 Griselbrand
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
1 Inkwell Leviathan
1 Tidespout Tyrant
1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobyte
1 Grave Titan
4 Brainstorm
4 FoW
1 MisD
3 Izzet Charm
4 Careful Study
4 Entomb
4 Reanimate
4 Exhume
2 Animate Dead
4 Polluted Delta
4 Verdant Catacombs
3 Underground Sea
2 Tropical Island
2 Badlands
1 Island
1 Swamp
SB:
1 Sphinx of the Steel Wind
1 Jin-Gitaxias, Core Auger
2 Pithing Needle
2 Massacre
2 Thoughtseize
1 Duress
2 Echoing Truth
3 Abrupt Decay
1 Coffin Purge
I went 2-2-1. I beat Mono-red burn/sligh and BUG Reanimator, lost to Jund (had Scooze main in place of Goyfs, that's a bunch of hate) and Merfolk. It's a tough matchup if you don't get under it imo, but I also misplayed. I drew against Miracles, but game 3 only had 12 turns total. I would have had it in 4 more turns with Iona on white.
Jace was good when I drew it, but I did side it out several times. I am going to continue to play 2, and play them main.
I got to Misdirection an otherwise game-winning Fireblast and followed it up with an Iona on red.
In the mirror, my opponent tried to reanimate my Iona, so I entombed my Coffin Purge and ate the Iona in response.
Against miracles I got to Entomb an Exhume and -3 my Jace to win game 2. That was fun.
I normally see 0 Miracles and 0 DnT at my LGS, so I left the Archetype at home. Then after Rd 1 I found out about the Miracles list I played against, and another guy was on DnT. I'm dropping Inkwell and the 4th Researcher to add back the Archetype and put the deck back to 60. I was displeased with Inkwell all day.
From my phone. I do my best, dammit!
