[Deck] BUG "Shardless" Control

[Whitefaces]

So I hope this threat gets some revival back in the DTB section.

I want to rebuild my Sideboeard by also cutting the Meddling mages, because I think even though they are good, they don't justify 4 SB slots anymore because Storm is pushed down by eldrazi.


@ironclad: I looked at your SB but it seems really light vs combo now!?

Meddling Mages aren't just for Storm, it's any combo. If you're running discard in the maindeck then you may not need them, but if you're not then you need very high impact cascades.

Storm is absolutely still about too, at least here in Europe. There's consistently been a copy in almost every top 8 at the major events, usually more.

Here's my current list with some SBing notes if anyone is interested, it's most likely what I take to GP Prague.
