If one existed that got rid of Chalice/Thorn efficiently that would be greeeeeeat.

Be still my dark stormy heart...if only but sadly WotC hates us too much for this me thinks.

I bet wizards prints a new Thalia variant instead. There's not a Thalia with Flash yet, seems like that's a candidate. Or maybe a Thalia with a Chalice effect strapped to her. Or maybe a UW flying hexproof Thalia with Cursecatcher's ability tacked on........

Chrome Mox doesn't facilitate turn one hands.

You planning to stream any testing leading up to the GP? Can't remember if anyone's asked as of late

Could have been anything from Rite of Flame to Simian Spirit Guide to Mox Opal to Cabal Ritual to Desperate Ritual.

"LED + Tutor/Wish + 2 IMS on the play and without resistance" isnt quite the scenario we test cards for

Cabal Ritual actually doesn't work there. However, in Final Fortune's list that would've been a land or Duress.

I've been jamming games all day on cockatrice, Cabal Ritual and PIF are still performing well.

Do you honestly think that hand would be any worse with a Fetchland instead of a Chrome Mox in order to be able to cast your Brainstorn or Duress and T2? Because personally vs Island, go I would be hating Badlands and Chrome Mox there a lot.

Against any deck with Chalice or Thalia, yes. Even against blue decks it's fine.

luckily for me, this scenario will not happen in my build.

Is the Reverent Silence better than a fourteenth land (to help grind against Miracles)?

Jeez... stop giving them ideas already!

What are you talking? The format absolutely needs a 2/1 creature for W which reads "counter each noncreature spell with 1cc" simply because the format needs more hate for 1cc spells beyond Chalice & Countertop. WotC loves D&T anyways given they print a combo-hatebear in every set #salt

legit salt is legit

The difference between 13 and 14 lands is so marginal, likely somewhere around 1.33% or you can have a card that gets you out of binds against a Counterbalance game one or an unexpected Leyline of Sanctity.

I'm not attached to Reverent Silence, but it's something I've been trying the last month to some decent success.

[Dice_Box]

Though you don't require the help, it fucking destroys Land's mana acceleration plan.

[thefringthing]

I've been trying out the following sideboard plan against Miracles and it seems decent. Am I nuts?

-4 Infernal Tutor
-3 Burning Wish 
-2 Chrome Mox
-1 Empty the Warrens
+3 Xantid Swarm 
+1 Dark Petition
+1 Tendrils of Agony
+1 Past in Flames
+4 Abrupt Decay

If you go the ANT direction, leave at least the ITs in to loop
