So, RB got Dark Confidant.
Not even close to Bob, it need T3 turns in play (unless you give it haste) to draw 1 card assuming it gets past the attack phase.
It's probably too much, at least for an aggro deck, but we could always Springleaf Drum it.

The scrylands will help, but honestly the meta may drastically change soon. We'll have to wait for BNG to be spoiled.

Seems Standard is just throw your hand onto the battlefield and then say "Go". I would like to think BNG will help change this, but seeing the Tribute ability has me rolling my eyes.

Yea, the midrange. It's interesting. I did just get blanked by BW Midrange 0-2 a few minutes ago. Trying to get a lot of T1 tests in to see the versatility of the deck. I will play around with it more after work!

This is just me nit-picking now, but can we stop calling Ux Devotion MUD? MUD was the name used for an old artifact deck.
You're not nit-picking, it makes sense. Even though this is Standard, every time I see MUD written I still think of it right off the bat instead of Ux Devotion lol ;\

Seeing how successful Esper Midrange is, maybe creating 3 color agro would be better? To be honest Esper deck has better manabase (colorwise) than we have... I'm intrigued, heh.

I agree with MDU, I prefer 3x Mutavaults as well. Ever since I changed from 1 Temple of Triumph to Silence after my dismal placement at the GQ, everything has been working relatively well. Sometimes that 3rd Mutavault really helps closing games down fast with a Pack Rat on board ;v

I think Toil//Trouble never really loses its value versus Esper and UW Control. My opponent almost always has 4-6 cards in hand because I only put down 2 creatures over their creature count. Also, they're constantly refueling their hand with Sphinx's. Versus everything else, it's lack luster. I've t...

I also ran a version with FotF in the SB, I don't know if I really like that. One thing I was deeply terrified from my games yesterday was Mono ...

As far as WR Weenies, in Games 2 and 3 I play control until the spear drops. This means not unleashing Cacklers. It works for me /shrug It may not trade with theirs, but it saves me for another turn. RWb, you just race. Game 1 is pretty unfavorable for us. Anyways, taking this to the Gold Qualifier ...

I'm thinking about going back to a 2nd Chandra myself. It just doesn't seem like I get the best value with RR when I compare it to other cards I could be using, such as Chandra. Iunno, Chandra could eat a HDF, which could be good (or bad lol). Though, so could RR...and more. Though Chandra can card ...

I do need to change up the mana base. I was having some games where I'd be seeing a lot of red/mutavault. I even had a good 6-8 games in the 50 or so games I played yesterday that would only show 1 land. I'm just being greedy with the color base, that's all. In the PTQ I had a much-much more stable ...

I hated Venser + Stonehorn Dignitary...now this, ugh. At least it's only 1 permanent lol

EDIT: It's good though for red burn decks that it starts at 2 Loyalty. I'd definitely trade a 4 drop for a 2 drop burn.

How do you guys feel the deck would play with -1 SBD / +1 Chandra? (For a 2/2 split) That's a tough decision, SBD is very strong and Chandra REALLY shines in her ability to draw the extra cards (duh, right?). It might work, might be worth testing since I found myself closing games out more with Exa...

It has back fired, for sure. Though the more you can properly analyze the situation it can pay off. Doing it more times in practice only helps for when its the real deal. Knowing the deck inside and out helps too, heh.
