I'm not letting my success on Day 2 go to my head. Meddling Mage is a good creature. It may not be as good in Thresh as it is in Fish do to the lack of synergy and support that the Thresh has for it... but if your going to drop Mage to give the deck a better game 1 against aggro, why not just run UGr Thresh? It seems like the only reason to run white is for StP and Mage. I mean, the red splash can still board in Stifle to hit the Solidarity players lands so they don't combo off in time and the Stifle can be a last resort against a resolves Brainfreeze.

Meddling Mage is still a crutch for any opponent to deal with. It's card advantage in most cases. Like I said, it may not be that good in Thresh, but Anwar seems to think that small creatures suck in this format and I don't believe that to be true in the slightest. I mean, yeah, if your just putting a deck together with a bunch of 1/1's and 2/2's, your not going to have a good deck. If you toss in Jitte and Mother of Runes, those 2/1's and 2/2's become significantly more powerful.

At any rate, if people are gonna start running UGw Thresh with StP as the only reason white is included, I'd go UGr for Bolt, Fire/Ice, Magma Jet, Pyroclasm, etc. I still think Meddling Mage is a great card, regardless if everyone else thinks it sucks.
