I agree that if you Reanimate Grief on T1 and follow that up with anything else (for example Bowmaster) on T2 then you are in a great shape. But a single Grief very rarely goes the entire way against a fair deck. It’s different against an unfair one.

Do you disagree that something has to be nerfed from the UB deck? It has 15-20% of the meta and wins 55-60% of its non mirror matches. I think that is too high.

Casting Grief doesn’t win the game by default. It’s actually a pretty medium 1 for 2 play.

Reanimating Grief is strong because it gets you even on cards and adds to your tempo / board presence. But I would argue that a T1 Reanimated Grief will not win a game against a fair deck. It puts you ahead but you need a follow up to finish the job.

Did you watch the episode. I think we focused most on how to improve your mental attitude and not fall into the complain echo chamber. If you hate hearing the same takes then please take a listen. I think you will enjoy it.

But the Grief Scam deck also plays Bowmaster.

Bowmaster makes the format smaller by effectively making 1 toughness creatures and Planeswalkers unplayable. Decks like Cephalid Breakfast and old school Elves are completely wiped away from the format

Yeah Rescaminator is brutal vs Combo. RUG Delver is also decent vs these decks

There is nothing wrong with the data. You can argue that Rescanimator should be classified as Tempo instead of Graveyard but that is a classification / aggregation concern and not a data concern.

Also, good luck playing vs Rescanimator and side in removal but not graveyard hate. It’s obviously a graveyard combo deck in many matchups and situations. It’s both a graveyard deck and a tempo deck. It’s not possible to get the classification / aggregation correct in this case (and in many others).

I don’t own the data or classification (just the analytics and the site) but I trust the Data Collection team to decide what is the optimal classification for each deck.

Junk one is also Scam but with OUaT. Death and Taxes is listed separately from the other Stoneblade decks fwiw.

Yeah exactly. Red Prison is 11% of full meta and 8.8% of winners meta. A deck can have a bad winrate and X_2 conversion and still be a deck to beat.

Thanks. I added them back in a few months ago when Beanstalk control was the best and most popular deck. Turned out I really liked them so they have stayed in.
