[Deck] MonoU OmniTell

[ESG]

My problem is it is way to powerful for my playgroup. On the rarest occurrence, one of my mates might win from my Show and Tell, but other than that they have no answers to the deck.

Nice problem to have. I recommend entering some tournaments and either making some easy money or being brought back down to earth.

Defense grid is very powerful but in this moment i play the UR Shoota version and there is no space for Defense in Side :(

I never consider grid now even against delver, usually they can put you on a very fast clock, so I would rather cast more cantrips than resolve grid.

Also grid is useless against probe+therapy.

I honestly dont like Defense in this meta but i think are powerful against ur. in this moment i really really love the shoota version :) Against grixis with red we have some powerful cunning wish target

Is there any particular reason that Boseiju, Who Shelters All is not in the main deck of Omnitell?

I know some lists playing it main, most sideboard it because Wasteland/FoW decks are strong against Omnitell.

While it's ok, it's also overrated. I'd hate having it in the opening hand. Against a lot of decks with countermagic, you still already side out like 2 FoW. It's more about maneuvering to the right spot to eventually grind the opponent out than to Force a Show and Tell through with Boseiju. To me, the two City of Traitors have already been awkward enough at times.

I thought about siding out FoW in grindy matchups as well but never did it so far. Against which decks would you trim Forces?

On Boseiju: I like having access to one in the MD. Since I'm playing UB with LDV anyway, I can find it if I need it. You just shouldn't count it as a land slot but rather as a disruption "spell".

Which decks are the best match ups for this deck and which are the worst?

Worst matchups are: Legends Miracles, Reanimator, Dredge
Best matchups: Painter, 12-Post

Most other decks are somewhere in between.

I still think mono U is the best choice; more stable, streamlined and effective.

Last saturday I played against a 12-post similar to this one and it was a pain in the ass. I gitaxianed and saw primeval titan + krosan grip. And yes, it's hard to beat that, as if you show into omniscience, he'll krosan it in response to primeval's hability, and if you show into emrakul he'll search a karakas with the primeval anyway...

Also, painters, with 8 maindeck rebs, it's not that easy to beat.

I'm playing here against some non-tier decks like Monoblack Reanimator and Monored Sneak Attack and the biggest challenge for me is to deal with Iona, Shield of Emeria.

If they handle to put Iona into field (using their spells or even my Show and Tell), it's gg for me. I thought I could Stifle it's ability, but it's not a triggered ability.

How do you handle Iona?

[JPoJohnson]

A few options:

1. Splash a color (like one tundra to get white removal with Cunning Wish in response).
2. Go off before
3. Be smart about what you counter and what you let through. Save your counters for what's truly key.
4. Sometimes that just happens. Realize that if your opponent out-draws you that sometimes you just lose.

I personally don't think that Iona has a large enough presence to truly fear, but for smaller local metas tailoring your deck can be extremely beneficial.

[daniels]

But if Iona comes into play using Show and Tell, we don't have the chance to use anything, am I correct?

[JPoJohnson]

Correct.

How is painter's a good matchup. They run 8 blasts.

I haven't tested against this deck much as its not really prevalent

[Baum]

The matchup against Painter actually is pretty decent. Was the first matchup I ever tested with Omnitell.
If they don't run MD Tormod's Crypt, they can't win game 1 because we've got Emrakul. Their 7-8 Blasts are literally the only cards that matter at all and they don't have cantrips to find enough of them in time. Unlike Sneak Show, we don't care about stuff like Ensnaring Bridge. SB sphere effects are annoying but beatable.
