Thanks for the responses above. Almost done with my SB prep for the Open. Any reason why we don't run Gaddock Teeg in the SB? He shuts down Storm, ANT, Tron, and other fringe decks such as UB Tezzeret Control. Is it because he's a non-bo with Collected Company? Since he's only a 1-of I don't see it as a significant issue, at least at first blush. Maybe I should just run another Negate or Unified Will instead?
I'm not a fan of decks like this playing a vulnerable hatebear like Gaddock Teeg because our opponents are boarding into removal already, Storm is bringing in Anger and such, so I'd rather have RiP or Unified Will
Jund should be a good matchup to begin with at ~60/40. Even better than Abzan because no Lingering Souls, flyers, or life gain. Kira, Great Glass Spinner is a nightmare for them, and they generally fall flat against CoCo. GoST can be a fast clock if they have a low creature count draw. Flash creature do well versus early Liliana of the Veil, although Last Hope wrecks our world. I prefer to side out Path to Exile and Phantasmal Image for whatever creatures I can find in the sideboard, or a grindy card like Nissa, Steward of Elements.
As far as Rhox War Monk goes, it is better versus burn, zoo and some random matches like mono white taxes. Not what to bring in versus most midrange decks though.
