This thread is for the discussion of ElMikkino's latest article, Close to the Edge: Auto-Build. Due to technical issues the thread that is normally created when an article is published didn't occur, so I have created this thread to allow you to talk about it. As always, please keep your comments on topic.
Good stuff - best sealed article I've read in a long time. And yes, I like the WRu build best too. Although the build I'm most likely to side into would be some kind of Bant deck any time I'm facing an opponent who's going to get wrecked by Feral Invocation.

I agree that the fixing allows for the three colour greedy build. I think I would have run Ordeal of Thassa and 2 Prescient Chimera over Titan's Strength, Colossus of Akros and Hammer of Purphoros.
I would also tweak the manabase slightly with the 5th mountain turning into the 6th Island.
I think that gives you a more stable early UW manabase, just splashing red for ORead, Ordeal and Dragon.
Divine Verdict is the best hard removal spell in the set.
Do you mean in the pool of cards he got? Because when I hear set I think the entire expansion. If he did indeed mean the expansion, then I have to disagree. Hero's Downfall, although commanding BB it's still a better removal than Divine Verdict.
I also have to disagree. Bow of Nylea is only really good because it gives attacking creatures deathtouch, and its expensive activated ability for support tricks is not really worth it. The Hammer at least can make late game topdecked lands into 3/3 hasty dudes.
