2 rdw
1 jeskai midrange
1 esper drags

I shouldn't have posted that earlier. It was some deep unfortunate variance many times in a row and the conclusion was the deck doesn't win. But lots of games were 1 good draw from winning to draw 2 lands. havent even faced a green deck yet.
I played the vs jeskai incorrectly. I don't have dig and he does.

Been playing abbot over rabble in midrange. It's alright. A few percentage points over rabble against mono red. The times I OJcommand it back into play it could have been a jace or soulfire and been just as good or better. Rabble is definitely better. Thanks for subscribing to my blog.

There is no reason to play a stratus dancer when harbringer is available in the format. Maybe you can find some contrive some specific scenario where you wouldn't play harbringer over stratusD but I'm not really interested in arguing with such a person.

Harbringer is a strict upgrade to stratusD. Jace is interesting and no real play until turn 3 is what the deck does anyway.
With so few rw temple and ur temple, I'd say screw wildslash altogether.

(POST ROTATION) JESKAI BURN

Usually I'm starving for more commands. 3 is ok, sometimes I wish I played 4 but I know that's a mistake.

I really really like cruise in this deck over dig but I just don't know. Cruise has lots of obvious advantages...again drawing lands is basically as good as drawing a spell. But then I play the mirror or vs control and if it resolves I draw two land and a V-stance and I wish I just had instantspeed card draw.

I enjoy playing the control plan maindeck but flat-out it isn't good.

Todd Anderson again feels more controlling builds as a maindeck is the way to go, exactly like he said with tokens. It plays zero stokes and zero rabbles. Cruise over dig because finding lands is exactly as good as anything else. I took his list with some changes he admitted himself needed to be made.

thoughts
Two 3-1 dailys out of 2 and a split finals of an 8man so I'm three-for-three for hitting prizes online so far.
Sage in the board needs to be a gainsay. Sage is a fun card against control but I always wish I had more counters, and one that hits ojutai and ashiok sounds good.
I miss anger sometimes but cleric is fine and its gas with command.
I board in Mastery every game that plays deathmist/denprotector or counterspells.
Sometimes I wish I had 3 elspeths
Slash is still good even though no one plays it anymore. Keeping SBD decks off SBD is worth it. But I board them out every game against any other deck it seems.
The vs. StormbreathDragon decks would be absolutely terrible if literally any of them played around OJcommand.
I never win vs UB/x control it is always 3 grindy games with me barely losing.
The first list I posted is probably better

and wowie the list i made was the worst thing I've ever seen how did I let myself take that shit i had like 20 one-ofs
I took this deck to a pptq and got second out of 13 people. We played 5 rounds with cut to top 4.
2-0 against gw collected company
2-0 against sidisi whip
2-0 against grixis dragons (yo this deck is actually kinda rad)
ID
ID
top4: 2-1 against a different gw collected company
1-2 against abzan aggro with deathmist denprotector

These results mean actually nothing because of the turnout and I saw no one playing atarkared or monored or even esperdragons. And look at this piece of garbage... how did I think this was ok even on 3 hours of sleep:

Jeskai sage is a close replacement to stratus dancer and Outpost siege is a close replacement to NarsetWalker that I couldn't get a hold of the night before. I took Firer's list and thought "I don't like rabble but I like more soulfire effects... I don't like charm but I like anticipate... and I want a maindeck stroke"

Maindeck stroke won me 3 games on the spot.

I like the list except I've never won a game I've resolved an elspeth. It's too hard to get to 6 mana when you want to be discarding lands for action. 1 secure the wastes is too many and I think 0 is correct, for the same reason. I've cat it for x=3 once, x=0 once, and x=2 the rest of the times. He claims it's good against ugin but I don't want to draw it game1.

Jones hit 14th at the GP. Exactly 2 change.... he swapped the sideboard outpostsiege for a sideboard dig, and the treasurecruise for a 2nd soulfire.

Since g/w dev is gaining traction, a 2nd end hostilties is probably needed. devotion builds up too fast to rely on digs to save you. With all the enchantment hate going around I can see r/w falling off a little, so brimaz becomes worse. I'm gonna test Jones's new list with no brimaz, +1 end +1 abzan advantage.

4 v-stance in the 75 has been a real winner. It hits actually everything that you can't remove with strike/slash (except for the obv stormbreath but thats what makes sbd so strong). It's not awkward at all, mostly because it replaced hordeling outburst when we were already playing 8 other 3drops.

There was a lot of abzaggro about back then which is the worst matchup so maybe that's why it fell off pretty fast.

Yeah, it is 'actually' as expensive as elspeth. Yeah, it relies on other cards to be good. This deck is the real deal regardless.

Jeskai charm is 3mana and 3colors in a deck that wants to be playing four other 3mana spells. In the problem matchups (abzan aggro and control imo), the most relevant mode - lifelink +1+1 - is pretty awful. I can see zero jcharms being correct. I can see 1 being correct. More than that I don't think so.

I think its great in other matchups like vs sligh or u/w heroic or tokens or aggressive green decks.

Some people are playing dissolve in the board? what does that do that dstroke not?

Went 6-3 at the scg 5k for top 39. :(

won vs uw heroic
won vs sultai control
lost to jeskai combo
won vs tokens
lost to tokens
won vs tokens
won vs ub control
won vs rg monsters
lost to tokens

sultai and ub control were easy matchups but I want to see how that matchup plays out when I don't draw a keranos every boarded game. I played the land-go/counterspell game better than they did. Font "25th land" of Fortunes was a true hero in 2 of the games though!
I didn't face abzan aggro, which won the event.

Here was my final list.

[deck]
duders
4 Seeker of the Way
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
3 Mantis Rider
3 Soulfire Grand Master
3 Hordeling Outburst
2 Prognostic Sphinx
1 Wingmate Roc

3 Jeskai Charm
4 Lightning Strike
4 Stoke the Flames

2 Dig Through Time

mana 24
3 Mystic Monastery
2 Mountain
2 Plains
2 Island
4 Flooded Strand
3 Battlefield Forge
2 Shivan Reef
2 Temple of Epiphany
4 Temple of Triumph


the board
3 Disdainful Stroke
2 Negate
1 Dig Through Time
1 Glare of Heresy
2 Valorous Stance
2 Anger of the Gods
1 Font of Fortunes
1 Burn Away
1 Keranos, God of Storms
1 Outpost Siege

I think fab's bug control list is still in their favor but I think tokens is even worse against it. The rare case where tokens is worse than aggro. I board in 12 cards.
Game 1, you punish their slow starts really hard. They never maindeck dissolve but they do have disdainful stroke. When I get there, I win off the back of stormbreath or mantis rider. The guys I play against mulligan every hand they don't have a green or double black.

I board out my weak burn and some of my toughness creatures - seeker on the play and rabble on the draw- and in come the anti u/b control package of permissions, keranos, and "the 25th land". They usually board out sultai charm so outpost siege is good (it might be good anyway), and I've been playing burn away as 1of side tech in this matchup but it has yet to impact the game so I might take it out. I'm not maindecking v-stance yet but I'll probably change it and right now I'd board it in.
They board in early creatures like rakshaka (and one of my practice partners was using Merciless Executioner in the side, probably for u/w heroic?) , negate, any not-main tasigurs, and feed the clan. I don't know what they board out really. That's just what I notice they bring in that has been effective.
Holy shit [card]Rakshasa's Secret[/card] is so unfair too. I can't play around it without playing into crux or drown or bileblight.
The matchup is pretty winnable but I've overloaded my deck with vs. control options
