Dies to Removal

Gotta agree Khaos.

Ash Cloud seems like a beating vs UB control too.

If it ever resolves. I can't seem to stick anything that matters

ashcloud might be better vs sultai, but its definitely worse against strict UB

Yeah I run the stormbreath dragons and have 3 mastery 4 outposts postboard, but it still feels miserable. They bring in so many bile blights and drowns that easily take care of all of our 2-3 drops, save charms for the enchantments, and downfalls for the big stuff. It just seems unwinnable against a competent player who draws equally as well as you

After playing 4 matches against sultai in 2 daily events today, leading me to 0-2 drop both events, I'm feeling like its time to move on from RW. I just cant seem to win this matchup anymore, they have too many answers to all the cards we play. What do you all think?

against which decks would you bring in mastery of the unseen? besides the obvious control matchup.

do you bring it in vs slower abzan decks too? or what else?

I only bring it in vs UB and sultai control. Its not as good vs sultai, but it overloads their charms so our outposts can survive later on.

With three rocs in the sideboard, what do you bring them in for? Green based decks?

Yes. It kills Sidisi and takes out Mantis Rider. It's decent enough reach. Also, what Val said about Courser.

I will say that I have not played against a Sidisi or Mantis in over 2 months, maaybe just how things lined up for me.


Whats this 7-0 PTQ list? I couldnt find it online, only 4 of the top8 from the MTGO PTQ

Was it Jeskai or Mardu? Just saw an article by Yurchick referencing a 7-0 list but its Jeskai.

I am actually considering Jeskai myself for this weekend. Got a Super IQ $1k and a PPTQ.

Feel like all the good players are on Junk or BUG Control. Jeskai seems better vs them, and still good in mirror/RW.

Thoughts?

Pretty sure he means this mardu list, it was an online ptq?
