Today (before losing to Auras), I lost the mirror against the vapor snag - monastery swiftspear - treasure cruise version. I feel like I might have misinterpreted my role in the matchup and/ or mis-sideboarded. Would like to get some feedback. I felt like soft counters like Leak and Pierce were terr...

Split in the finals of a small local event (3 fetchlands worth of prize) in preparation for the larger event tomorrow (which I'll be attending) with Zem's latest list... the one with Threads, Burn is surprisingly mildly popular here, while UR delver is quite played. Yeah, I know, i'm a fanboy R1 : 4...

Zem, were you happy with 24 lands + 4 jets, or is cutting a land (considering the full playset of jets) a consideration? Not a Mutavault though, a Forge maybe? p.s. I find it hard to rate our creatures against green devotion decks, also cause they are very rarely played here in italy but there's a W...

At Italy's first WMCQ, there are 4 UW control in the top8, one Jund Planeswalkers, a BG Devotion, a MonoU and a GW aggro. That seems like the kind of metagame Burn could exploit, i.e. only two specific categories of decks to beat, or mostly Control. Sperling list is awful against control, is there a...

I've noticed that, apart from realizing that the list is targeted at beating BW Midrange, our community has completely ignored Sperling's approach to the deck. Considering that I'd like to start testing a Burn list for my nearest WMCQ (14 sept.), after a hiatus of 2 or 3 months from the deck, shall ...

Consider that I'm currently playing the Toil/Trouble list with just 4 phoenixes. I don't think Obzedat ATTACKING is the real issue, the combination of INSANE discard (people here in Italy are playing, on average, 4 seize 3 duress and a couple Sin Collectors on average... that easily makes a Desecrat...

Guys, how do you approach the matchup against BW Midrange? it is the only deck in standard I keep having a 50-50 record against. (excluding niche decks) Should we try to prolong the games, 2for1 ourselves to kill Obzedat, try to chains the Demons and burn pack rat ASAP and try to strand their remova...

Hi guys! Played the deck in a 20ish men tournament today. Perfected the swiss, then lost in the top8 to one of the most decent players in the room. Let me know how would you have handled this situation. My opponent is a very good local player, multiple PTQ top4s, playing straight monoblack devotion ...

@Elr: In the past 3 tournaments i've only lost to either the mirror (he drew much better - 5 helixes in 3 games, only 2 of them got skullcrack'd) or monoblack/Bw, so i'm sure i'm missing some central piece of STRATEGY about those matchups. Against monoblack, the most important thing to keep in mind ...

Purp, how do you approach monoblack / bw? I have had a lot of success with the man plan while on the play against monoblack, obviously in particular with the 6 one-drops sideboard, hence i'm willing to cut glare of heresy for a Firedrinker, but... I see it MUCH harder to win on the draw. Today I've ...

I keep finding myself colorscrewed with just 10 white sources. Of the last 14 matches played (4 rounds today, 5 rounds last saturday, 5 rounds previous week) i've lost 6 games ENTIRELY due to having no white mana. For example today I lost 2 distinct games against WB Midrange with multiple white burn...

Zem, how is the testing of your new sideboard been going? I still feel that if we want 6 one drops we should have 4 firedrinkers 2 cacklers and not the other way around, firedrinker being, in my experience, a good mana sink and trump for blockers, but I might be completely wrong. EDIT: Awaken suffer...

what is your current configuration Zem, and how are you liking it? I feel like Firedancers are basically an autowin vs a huge amount of decks which are a small percentage of the meta. But, summing them up, it's an amount between 10 and 25% of each metagame. I think they are worth their slots. Are yo...

I think you lose faster if you don't have the Chained to the Rocks when they do find a Chandra's Phoenix. The only alternative is Annihilating Fire, but that card seems bad. We are keeping a 4-of in our deck for a 4-of in our opponents' deck... and Searing Blood also has an extremely low amount of ...
