Yeah, everyone i've seen stream the deck miss subtle lines of play. The deck is far more complex than it seems. I'd love it if one of you mtgo players did some videos!!
Tron is just a crap match up. We are a mid range/ control deck, they eat our gameplan for breakfast. Are you playing gaddock teeg in the side? Him + another GQ are the best sideboard hate we have against them.
I'm amazed you beat affinity without hate. That is a tough match up even with stony silence/ kataki.
With only 2 scooze in the main and no sideboard support, how do you find your graveyard matchups? I wanna move another clique main, but I'm scared that dropping a scooze will make those games way worse.
I would run kessig though, its just so good. I'm going to try ulvenwald tracker over staticaster myself.
BTW I went 1-3 drop at the tour ey.
0-2 grixis shadow: he was excellent with the deck, and new lili crushes us.
2-0 vs affinity. Kataki turn 2 won game 2. He was REALLY new to the game. Had me dead on board game 1 but missed it.
0-2 vs burn. He knew i had life gain, so he held up his skull cracks and atarka's and I couldnt keep alive.
0-2 soul sisters: he have no chance game 1. Game 2 he honored of the pure turn 2, keeping me from izzet'ing the sisters.
Started playing reflector knightfall and was curious about a couple things.
- why no artifact hate in the side? My meta has a lot of affinity and eggs.
- how's the dredge matchup? Played it once, got smoked, looking for help
Main matchups are: artifact decks, grixis decks
I'd look to play the vizier over company as a one-of. Just for testing.
Tron: can't play their pay off cards
Abzan company: without company's and chord it's hard for them to combo off. Without the combo their cards are just bears.
Eggs: shuts off faith's reward, whir of invention, and banefire
Control: shuts off all the sweepers (besides anger) and makes it so they cant cryptic. (or sphinx's rev, which is rare)
Ad nauseum: can't ad nauseum
Thats off the top of my head
Also, don't side out the combo.
