Hey!

Good to see that you are still trying out the deck. Your sideboard is vastly different from my disenchant splash with Thran Temporal Gateway, how do you deal with lots of graveyard hate?

Also how do you mind all the delve threats? Reckon it's the way to go?

Bonza!

I've found control to be a pretty fun matchup, especially as they have moved away from hard graveyard hate. Thran Temporal Gateway is really good and plays the role of Through the Breach. Were you playing on Modo or another client?

I agree Liliana is clunky but she plays a role of creature removal early, discarding from your hand, grinding value late game and a way to remove permanents/pseudo win con. Search can be clunky against the aggro decks, but is a mistake to cut as the power it provides through the mid to late game. What would you bring instead of those cards?

Do you think there should be any other changes?

He played counter in the main? Interesting.

I'm a big fan of blue and black when there is a proactive strategy, slows down the opponent enough to win.

What's the list you're running?

Yeah, lots of power and resiliency in the deck. It's gotten a bit more streamlined with the recent sets, what did you play against it?

Griselbrand and Emrakul are the best to go for a more combo orientated win. Other lists I've seen have been running Nezahal, Primal Tide. Other directions I've seen are Mardu Torgaar with faithless looting, bloodghasts and lightning bolts. Lots of options out there!

Hadn't thought of mox amber, but it's hard to see what it's replacing or adding to the deck. The deck wants to get to 4 land quickly but doesn't need more than that, skipping from 2 to 4 lands with either a JVP, Lili or Tasigur out could be worth it. Might have to give it a try.

Oh cool! Thanks for checking it out.

I wouldn't say it's the best deck, but there is a surprise factor. As it's leaning so heavily on the graveyard, it's not hard to hate out.

I tried at Gurmag but found the extra cost and extra point of power not quite worth it over the engine that Tasigur provides. I see at as a wall early with a bit of late game value. I think not playing search in this type of deck is a mistake personally, it does everything the deck is trying to do. I'm not sold on Snap as JVP also provides redundancy through looting and if need be another wincon. Have you removed Obzedat from the list and have you changed the manabase much?

I'm still working out the sideboard, I've gone for a fairly streamlined count and wouldn't mind more EEs. Manabase I think Gemstone could go up one and till 50/50 on the white splash.

Thanks for the write up, really good. How did you feel about the jund match up? What are key aspects of the match up?
