Also remember that in general Sealed is a bit slower than Draft. This means that when you have a choice between speed/consistency or power, it's often best to err on the side of power (within reason).
I would play Swiss a few times on MTGO, then start playing at FNM or whatever. Limited is a mean horse, but it can be really rewarding. The best way to get better is simply to do it more.

At the beginning of your upkeep, shuffle your library, then exile the top card. If it's a land or a creature, you may put it onto the battlefield.

LOVE.THIS.
It's probably a bit strong, but that's the first GU General I would consider swapping Momir Vig, Simic Visionary for.
Wild Growth, Fertile Ground and Overgrowth are, in my opinion, asking to get punished.
Most decks play at least Strip Mine and unless you have 2 enchantress effects out beforehand it isn't worth the tempo loss.
Also, where is Leonin Arbiter? In GW you can afford to pay the 2 if you really need it and it hoses U and B pretty hard.
EDIT: Archetype of Endurance is awful. It costs a billion and doesn't protect you from GW's major weakness, i.e. Wraths
Nekusar can be a bit annoying but it's more that it forces you to deal with it first rather than actually being 'overpowered'.
I hate playing against Prossh, the deck is busted even with mediocre-bad cards so people seem to like to just
throw a pile together and then get salty when people hate them out.
I play Ghave stax though, so ymmv. (Won on the back of a t4 Pox this weekend huehuehue)
In general, from my experience, UR in straight Theros falls under "very powerful but hard to build," alongside WB.
Plus it has more trouble digging itself out of holes than WB, as it can't haymaker with a Gary or grind out a game with Scholar.
That said, this card seems pretty cool and if I'm already looking at red I'll happily pick it up 4-X pick. I just think Red's uncommon pool is so strong in
BNG that it's hard to justify making this your first pick in the color.
To me the card I'm going to watch for, particularly if I'm in any kind of white Heroic deck, is Glimpse of the Sun God. Not only does it let you cast a mass tap on your opponent's creatures, but if you do it at the end of their turn, you can also target your own Heroic creatures and trigger all of them, mana permitting. You can even do it after you declare attackers and before he declares blockers. Heck, with the single white in it's cost, it might be a lesser incarnation of Sea God's Revenge. I'd happily splash for it if my deck had enough Heroic creatures.
I'm glad they've given us standard and modern players so many new goodies instead of just printing limited jank and EDH rares. But it's all okay, because the flavor!
Because no one's going to play mogis, xenagos, brimaz, or any of the other rares...:rolleyes:
Yeah this deck would be super fun to build/play.

Any suggestions to fight UWR?

Please, and soon. Back up to three decks and it is getting prohibitively expensive just to be able to cast spells before turn 4 :/
Seconded. Seems nuts with Phalanx Leader
