To players who are having problems with counters company, I think Suppression Field could be a good option for Side, because pitting needle/rip doesn't stop all combos, linvala is very slow, and we dont have so many removals like grixis shadow.
I know it affects us a lot too, but it's better than loose the match and our dudes are bigger.
What is the current position of Bant Eldrazi in the current meta? I'm slowly trying to build this deck, but seeing it pushed to developing competitive looks weird. Is Colorless Tron much better choice in the meta, because of the surge in DSA decks?
I think Death shadow is a good match, but Living End and Counter Company have picked up popularity recently, and they are bad matchups.
I have only faced it 3 times, but I'm 2-1. One of the wins was a 2-1 in games where I timed him out in game 3 though, because I got the Drowner + Displacer lock that he couldn't get through (I had exiled his Ballista, so he had to win by attacking with Rhona-pump).
Regarding list I'm currently trying the one in the link below with a MB Relic + Dismember. I'm gonna try a split of Reshaper/Skyspawner this weekend I think.
This is the result of a small torunament I played yesterday: did 2-2-0
R1 - Hatebears (2-0): easy match, fast tks and drowner won both games.
R2 - Boros Burn (0-2): first match when I controled the board he won with direct burn. Second match I has a slow start, but when I put 2 smashes on the board deflection palm makes the difference.
R3 - Gifts storm (2-0): tks won first match and RiP + explosives won the second.
R4 - Goblins (1-2): very difficult match. goblins are very aggresive. Lost the first, second worship won and third I missplayed a explosives in the wrong time and lost. I think I need more life cards on MD/SB
Other decks on the champ that I remember: UR delver, RG tron, BG elves, Jund.
Against this ton of aggro meta I'm thinking of change witness for blessed alliance or remove another drowner for +1 thragtusk and/or add a timely reinforcements to SB. Unfortunately I dont have a third EE. Any tips I apreciate.
I'm well above 70% winrate facing them around 30 times on MTGO so far. A lille lower against the Jund version. So yeah, I feel really, really great against them. Our matchup against Death's Shadow is actually what makes me believing in us being an underrated deck currently.
Phyrexian revoker could ba a good answer, maybe you could test -2 stony silence and +1 pithing needle and +1 revoker. Stony is very good but stops EE and needle/revoker can be "tutored" with ancient stirrings.
Against affinity i'm using in SB 2 reclamation sage, she + displacer is GG.

Thanks, in my preferences the "show signatures" was disabled.

About chalice I dont like it so much, we use 4 paths, 4-5 dorks and 4 ancient stirrings, so chalice on 1 could destroy our game.
