Move the sword and the bribery to the board, cut a despise, and cut one or more of the top end spells (damnation, batterskull, mbc, cryptic, hero's downfall), maybe moving it to the board for a land or two. 20 lands isn't enough.
I like running Damnation in the main because of heavy aggro environment, so is Batterskull Maybe I can cut one MBC but I dont think I can cut any of the spot removal or a cryptic
Hello, I am backing to play my faeries deck and I want to test Smuggler's copter X4, but I dont know yet what to cut of my deck, any Idea would be very apreciated.
I know some people don´t like snappys, But I just cannot play without at least one, is more likely I add one more than remove the one I have.
Th sword seems to be one of my candidates to get out but it is a tool that has saved me a lot of times, Bribey is so much fun SO MUCH, I don´t really want to take it out but I guess is another candidate to make room for Copters.
I may switch smother for fatal push, maybe 6 hand disruption is too much and I can cut 2
I am also looking for a susbtitute to Ancestral vision I bought my set for 5 dollars each in paper because I thought they would unban it, But I didn't bought them online so.. now that I am building my beloved faeries online too I need to find some sort of card draw.
You are without a doubt on the right track, but I would add cryptic command to your md in place of 1 liliana and a peppersmoke. the batterskull (you have kalitas in the sb already) feels like its taking up valuable space aswell. and disfigure is better than collective brutality most often md. I would suggest trying to get inquisition of kozilek in your list aswell as these are invaluable additions.
If I were tweaking your list Id make these changes myself, but get a few games in and see where you are comfortable
Thanks appreciate it!
Isn't Cryptic too slow? What g1 matchups improve by having a 4 mana utility card? Old extended lists if I remember correctly played 3 but that format was slower.
Cryptic is not too slow as a 2-of, it actually really helps in many situations. some faster decks you'll board it out against but otherwise its a good tool to have
I can't agree more, 2 Cryptics are a MUST for our decks, its just too versatile, you have a bounce, a fog or a counter or a card draw all in one single card, I play 2 + my snapcaster, never a bad choice
On another note, any tips for merfolk? I'm struggling big time against this deck. Turn 1 Aether Vial 4 games in a row on top of cavern of souls. The island walk just kills me, I honestly am stumped.
Check my last decklist, I have no problems against melforks.
EDIT: when I say "no problems" I mean that I considerer it a fair match, sometimes I win, sometimes I loose, but normally I never got stomped
The reason I run despise over inquisition is because of all the stuff inquisition does not hit, maybe I could try moving 3 inquisitions instead of despise and having 2 despise in the SB I will try it.
I like bribey in the main, so Damnation
Despise is bad. Inquisitions and thoughtseizes, maybe Duress. The rest are too narrow or bad.
Really? duress for despise? why you say bribery and damnation are bads?

I like bribey in the main, so Damnation, disfigure is awesome, but heroes also hits PW and they are seeing a lot of play lately
I normally see "pro" sideboards using one copy of any card, I really dont like to rely that much in my luck to draw the answer I need, that is the reason I rarely put less than 3 copies of a card I want in the SB. When I side in extirpate I want it in my opening hand, having one single copy drops my chances too much.
I am considering droping the recalls because chalice for cero is good enough against affinity almost any time and maybe I can use those 2 slots for another copy of exirpate and a damnation.
I red the "esper faeries" part of the thread, I am tempted to try mainly because I really want to play ghostly prison and leyline of sanctity but I really don't seem it happening.
I take too much damage by myself with thoughtseize, bitterblossom, fetchs and shocklands to add more shocklands and more fechs and hardcasting a leyline with the manabase I saw in the posts is not going to happen most of the time by turn 4

I also agree that esper faeries is not necessarily weaker/stronger than U/B faeries. I am currently enjoying the additional stuff that I can use and am just continuously tweaking it. If you are doing U/B right now then you might as well stick with it since it still performs well here and there.
I Will be waiting to see how you fixed the manabase, please post your decklist
I would love to splash white but mainly for sideboard reasons (leyline of sanctity and ghostly prison) but I really dont know how to fix the manabase for that
Do you guys think its worth investing the money on the damnations?. Im playing 2 kalitas, 1 main and 1 sb.
Thanks in advance, sorry for my bad english. Greetings.
Having 1 damnation is a HUGE difference, I know is dificult to get because they are too expensives and there are just a few in the market, I had to wait for months to get one (a DCI Judge Promo) but trust me , it makes the deck way better, and if you run 1 or 2 snaps, thats makes 3 damnations for 1
I tried mainboarding a single copy of bribery and it is just sick as hell.
In turn 5-7 we may have a good knowledge of our opponents hand so we can just tapp-out ourselves to steal their best (if he cast other thing we can allways remove it later).
I like Bribery I am considering it as +1 at SB because 2 sower of temptation seems not enought for some matchups and because for only one extra mana I can fetch the creature I want without waiting for the opponent to cast it and, there is no going back, people can kilol sower and get the creatures back, but they just cant get them back from bribery.
Bribery and sword of light and shadow seems like a reasonable cut, maybe 1 despise and 1 thoughseize will do the trick for the other 2 slots.
I like running Damnation in the main because of heavy aggro environment, so is Batterskull Maybe I can cut one MBC but I dont think I can cut any of the spot removal or a cryptic

I use in the side against burn and rdw 3 copies of chalice of the void but I think leylines would be good too.
I am tempted to mix my manabase with 2 hallowed fountain and 1 godless shrine
edit: do you think ghostly prison is good for esper faeries?
