How would you guys play against GBx Midrange? Liliana, Nissa, Emrakul, Sylvan Advocate, Ishkanah... they all seem to screw me every time.
You have to play always watching is the way to beat Liliana
I also run 4 Declaration in Stone agaist it.helps agaist the spiders and other creatures.
At this point, I just expect any player with swamps will always have a Liliana on turn three. Luckily, my answers to her (Negate, Queller, and Rattlechains) are all things I keep up mana to do anyways, and they make up 12 cards in my main deck, so I don't collapse too many times under her +1 ability.
There are currently no copies of Blood Moon in my side-board.
While I don't think a single instance where a card is bad is a reason to completely remove it, I do agree that Blood Moon doesn't seem all that workable in a 3-color deck with a landbase that looks like we should be playing Death's Shadow.

Here's an example of a budget build:
4x Thermo-Alchemist
4x Incendiary Flow
4x Fiery Impulse
4x Fevered Visions
4x Fiery Temper
4x Tormenting Voice
3x Lightning Axe
3x Nagging Thoughts
2x Exquisite Firecraft
2x Geier Reach Sanitarium
4x Island
14x Mountain
That should be about $30 total and isn't a terribly bad deck.
