Swapped
Time Stretch for Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir , Decided that Time Stretch was too heavy, thus having Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir I can protect my combos.
-Mask of Riddles and -Profane Momento
+Cephalid Broker and Cephalid Looter
Deck performed very well against Animar, Soul of Elements and Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts last night, first test run where I didn't get completely wiped out.
The control magic cards are utterly cluch for getting big hitting commanders like Teysa or terrifying enablers like Animar under control.
So i took out the Dictate of Karametra and put in Kiora, the Crashing Wave instead. This jumped the price a little but it is still under $60. I just thought the extra card draw/land per turn was better. I also took out the Retraction Helix for Cyclonic Rift . This made it not theros exclusive but overall a much better deck. Lastly, took out Solidarity of Heroes because it only helped the Mistcutter Hydra and i felt it was wasted. Instead i put in Spell Blast to give me a little more control.
Still looking for a sideboard, which will probably end up being more counters for specific things. not sure yet. advice appreciated.
Added a couple more Chandra's to the mix. Don't know if they'll work.
Got a copy of Radiant Fountain from M15. Could be good. We'll see.
After a bit of testing, looking, and meta-ing, I've put together a rough draft of sideboard! Here's the rundown:
AEtherling seems like one of the most versatile creatures in standard right now, evades pretty much everything you can cast at it.
Back to Nature will be for BG, UW, and other enchantment heavy/aura based decks. Pretty self explanatory.
Council of the Absolute comes in as a not-Slaughter Games , for cards like Supreme Verdict or AEtherling , and even Jalira, Master Polymorphist in a mirror.
Deicide may be suited better as something else, not sure what but I'm always open to suggestions. Mostly if I have to deal with Xenagos, God of Revels or Keranos, God of Storms
Essence Scatter for cheaper counters when facing creature heavy decks, such as U and G devo.
Ready is most definitely a Supreme Verdict counter measure, what with it being uncounterable and seeing play in almost every UW deck since its printing.
Simic Charm because making my dudes hexproof stops them from being burned, or eaten by Polukranos, World Eater , though I think this card slot could be better used. Again, I'm open for suggestions.
