Well this is pretty ridiculous. My splinter twins are literally in the mail right now. I knew this deck wasn't the best choice in the meta right now but I didn't think it would be this unplayable lol.
What other snapcaster/goyf decks are out there? I don't want to go back to playing Jund(k) right now since it's just going to be tron/eldrazi city.
They play jeskai ascendancy and then use an unearthed fatestitcher, a faerie conclave, or a wind zendikon to produce mana every time they cast a spell. This lets them burn through their deck and pump their creature up to lethal with the ascendancy triggers.
I believe I boarded in 4 sphere, 1 crop rotation, 4 krosan grip, and 1 chalice (I was on RG at the time) for a bunch of creature control cards. Trinisphere seems a lot less useful than normal due to stitcher being able to tap it down.
I've only faced the matchup once but the opponent couldn't find a way around glacial chasm. This may change as the ascendancy lists evolve but he didn't have any outs to it in the 75 when we played at my store. I just rotated into it the first game once I knew what he was up to and found the chasm in my 6 card hand game 2 for an easy win. I was lucky to dodge force of will the first game but he was only playing 4 force/2 spell pierce and was just starting to cantrip when I put him on ascendancy so he didn't have one when I cast crop rotation. I can definitely see the mana denial plan that Nikolai mentioned being very good if they stumble at all since they play mostly non-basics and really need to find all three colors for the ascendancy. The opponent I was playing only had a single basic and 5 duals to fetch so my next plan of attack would have definitely been to just destroy every land I saw.
