Yesterday played with it in modo in 8 ppl Queue.
First match against mono black devotion:
G1: I had a very strong start
Gladecover Scout equipped with
Ethereal Armor and
Madcap Skills. Opponent played a couple of demons which where successfully chained. Luckily he didn't drew [card:
31iyvpie]Devour Flesh[/card]. (won)
G2: He destroyed my hand with 2
Thoughtseize and then controlled board with 2
devour flesh (lost)
G3: I had a slow start, but turn five
Assemble of the Legion won the game for me. (won)
Second match against Esper control:
G1: I had an aggressive start, forced him to play
Supreme Verdict on one creature at a time. He stabilized at 2 HP ... 3 revelations later I was finished with Aethering. (lost)
G2: I had
Witchstalker with a couple of auras on it and a back up of
Mending touch. Opponent answered with
Celestial Flare which kind of shocked me... Eventually He finished me with Elpset tokens. (lost)
Second tournament was quite more successful for me:
Match 1 vs Junk
G1 and G2 were nearly buy. I finished him really fast.
Match 2 VS
dega midrange
G1, He had no chance to outrun 9/6 trample lifelink flying
Witchstalker. (won)
G2, He ragequited on turn 3, after I equipped
Unflinching Courage on
Gladecover Scout. (won)
Match 3 VS Mono blue devotion
G1. He had an extremely nice draw, and I had color screw. I didn't see the second white mana source and he finished me with blue god, and a swarm of small creatures. (loss)
G2. Considering the amount of "pro blue" creatures in my sideboard, it wasn't hard to finish him off. (won)
G3. He conceded the game after he saw Hydra equipped with
Madcap Skills and
Ethereal Armor on turn 4. (won)
My sideboard strategy is:
VS Mono black devotion: -2
Boon Satyr -4
Gift of Orzhova +2
Assemble of the Legion +4 [card]Skylasher[/card:
31iyvpie] (protection against
Devour Flesh)
VS Mono blue devotion: -4
Fiendslayer Paladin -2
Boon Satyr -1
Madcap Skills +4
Skylasher +3
Mistcutter Hydra
VS Esper/UW control: -3
Gift of Orzhova +3
Mending touch
VS Dega/Junk - no sideboarding is needed.
Overall I really like the deck. I can not afford
Voice of Resurgence otherwise I would have included it in my list. The main concern for this deck is
Devour Flesh and
Thoughtseize (because I run only 14 creatures. it really hurts).
Assemble is the only hope in games VS black devotion, I am considering to put one more in my sideboard (and maybe to ad one more land in order to support it)
The mutch up with
devotion red is pretty equal, it really depends on how much pain I'm supposed to take from my own lands. Post sideboard
Ratchet bomb usually helps.
