If it's really a problem, you could try Into the Core. As already mentioned, though, Mark of Mutiny has been my go to. 2 mainboard, 2 more sideboard. I also run 4 Seer and 2 Bloodthrone to utilize this better.
into the core is kinda garbage. MoM is infinitely superior, espescially when coupled with a viscera seer. worst case scenario, manic vandal/shatter it and deal with the tokens
I play verdant as well, but only because they look cooler. Is there a practical reason to play them over marsh flats?
i dont think so, but a t1 marsh flats into IoK might make them think that ur running esper cawgo. if theyre kinda stupid and its game 1 and you dont have any other lands
does valakut really have enough (or any) noncreature artifacts to justify crush? the only artifacts i can see vala playing is wurmcoil (maybe) or tumble magnet for caw-go, which theyd probably bring out for you. and MoM is INSANE against valakut
i think that burn would be better than countermagic for regular aggro vamps, but a more control-y UB vampires deck might do better. plus this gives you access to the most irritating card in standard...
against quest, both doom blade and gftt can either work or totally fail, depending on what they equip their armor on. lightnig bolts trumps it all, unless its a lynx with 2 landfalls
my artifact removal consists of 3 manic vandals, and im probably going to pull 1 for a crush, specifically against WW qeust when i cant wait for my turn to bust the artifact
personnally, i think that memoricide would be better. hits their hand too, and against valakut with its GSZs, even 1 primeval titan will make an appearance
one thing ive noticed about this deck is that its terribly inconsistent...either total domination with t1/2 popped quest or bashing with kor skyfisher for the whole game. does that happen to anyone else?
