Your videos I know have helped me and Im sure they have helped new players as well. Keep up the good work
Thanks, I'm glad some people watch them (I'm currently floating 500+ tix playing on profit with 1800 rating with burn).
How do you guys find the Shadow MU?
I ask mainly because its the most discussed MU on this forum which I find slightly odd since I believe I think its slightly favorable (grixis is harder then jund but still slightly in our favour).
Also Mirran Crusader tech being discussed on Reddit is hilarious against the current boltless Grixis Shadow list.
Hang on - you find the Uxx Control/Tempo a good MU? Dispel, Spell Snare, Blessed Alliance, Lightning Helix, Snap Caster, counter and Rev makes it quite difficult.
In regards to the curve - having a larger curve means discard hurts more.

That said I agree - white's sideboard makes it better overall (I also been playing burn for years, if you remembered I was in top 100 for one (short) stage for the player of the year race) I'm not saying Naya Burn is bad (heck I mainly play Naya Burn), I'm just saying Black offers a lower curve which has its advantages.
Storm doesn't care about Kor since it doesn't trigger from storm copies.

Though I play 4x PtE so I need it to apply pressure.

Also keep Eidolon vs Shadow - you'll them him to get through Counter-locks.
"3D" = 3 Toughness/Defense (I should have wrote >3T but I write D out of habit T_T)
"Decks" = Ummm... 75 Magic Cards
So things like Affinity, Gxxx Coco and Death and Taxes.
3 Kor for Mirrors
3 Relics for Graves
3 Grims for >3D.Decks.
I might just virtually sleeve this one up.
I was wondering why your name sounded so familiar
Its always nice to pair up against a fellow MTGS goer: https://youtu.be/iG8yUEgT-mI
We could:
Run 3-4x Angel of Sanctions and sweepers as an ult wincon seems viable since they should be cutting down removals against us.
or
Bring in Negates and try and get lucky.
Also 4x Drake Haven seem quite important - I imagine its MUCH easier to win the counter war on that front then it is for New Perspectives.
Basically I think the origin list looks better.

I wouldn't argue replacing the Firecrafts with SkullCrack since it hits control + all the other problematic lifegain.decks.
