MTG Salvation

Infect craps on most decks that spend turns 1-3 not playing blockers or removal.

How could I forget Infect? I think this is singlehandedly Amulet's worst matchup. At least it was before; I haven't played it since Summer Bloom. Blockers don't matter much against Blighted Agent.

Makes sense. I've never played against D and T with Amulet. Scratch that, I think I did with Summer Bloom just once, but just drew the nuts. As players who play this deck know, sometimes you just draw a hand that your opponent can do literally nothing about.

Curious about what decks can thrash Amulet, as there are an annoying number of them, Tron, and other big mana decks lately. I don't have Ad Nauseam or Grixis Shadow, curious about whether there are other bad matchups. I do own Ponza/GR Land Destruction and Red Prison.

You have the right idea. Mainboard Blood Moons are tough, although I haven't run the new version with 3 Coalition Relic. I will name some decks that are rough matchups for Amulet, even if they are not played much. I hope this is received well because honestly someone could just say, "outside of Phoenix and Dredge, I'm not going to see other matchups," which can be fairly true.

Knightfall, Bant Spirits, most decks with Company like Druid/Vizier and Elves. Grishoalbrand. There are more decks, but since I just woke up from a nap (and haven't played Amulet for quite a while), I'll leave it at that.

Big mana decks are a positive matchup in my experience, if only by a little bit. With Summer Bloom, I know for sure that Tron was super easy. I think I was 13-1 or something like that vs. Tron during that time. The banning put the matchup closer to 50/50. I think I was 4-2 since. Titanshift and Breach are slightly slower, but make up for it with ultra consistency.
