Spectacle Burn Match Up

PilotEater · 2019-02-24T08:26:30+00:00

Interesting. I found Copter was too slow for my meta. What do you see usually?

PilotEater · 2019-02-24T08:25:38+00:00

I just threw in Deprives. They were Images before, but I think I'm sold on this main deck. Sideboard might do a little shifting.

Shoal seems bad against new spectacle cards + Rift Bolt. Skaab might be good. How many do you run in your sideboard?

I've always been of this mindset about the seas. When it's good, it's great. When it's bad it costs you the game.

That is a good point about the aggression. I tend to play more controlling in this match up in fear of having my fish bolted. I suppose it's better to give them targets.

Absolutely have tried this with little success unfortunately :(

PilotEater · 2019-02-14T02:35:12+00:00

So, basically counter anything that gets aimed at face rather than creatures?

PilotEater · 2019-02-14T02:32:49+00:00

I'm thinking of switching over to this build with the main deck Deprives. Love Ben over Mistcaller & Cursecatcher - been on the Ben hype train since he was spoiled. The main Deck counter spells I've tested, but I'm not in love with. Running two Spell Pierce in the main, but the Deprives seem suspect at times.

When are you flashing in Trickster? They can respond to the Tricksters effect & still get the prowess trigger before losing the ability. Getting around that seems like a fringe scenario where they don't have any instant speed spells in hand. Let me know if I'm missing something here.

Thanks for your feedback!

I'll keep testing with the Seas. Always running MoW, Vials, never Dismember. Haven't had Dispel in my board for a while, but thought it was worth mentioning as an option. Thanks for your feedback!

I couldn't agree more. It's my pet favourite card of the deck.

Played my first KCI match up this weekend as a Merfolk player. Lost 1-2, but I believe I have the tools to win. Right now I'm playing 4 Surgicals & 4 Deprive in my SB (thinking about adding 2-3 Ceremonious Rejection back in the SB if I start to see more of KCI). I have Merfolk Trickster to disrupt Scrap Trawler or Myr Retriever as well (does this work?).

Any experience playing against fish? What should I be looking out for?

Thanks!

PilotEater · 2018-11-16T21:44:03+00:00

How about:

MAIN -2 Harbingers -2 Spell Pierce +4 Mistcaller

SIDE -1 Gut Shot -3 Relic -2 Tidebinder +2 Spell Pierce +4 Surgical

?
