Deserts —Nov. 30, 2017

-1 mountain, -3 island, +1 Ramunap Ruins, +3 Ipnu Rivulet.

Decided to add more deserts, as many a game have been lost hoping to topdeck a burn spell. Even pulled off a win by milling myself to squeeze in two more points of damage with Enigma Drake.

I've been very impressed with the deck lately, pulled off a 3-0 and then a 4-0 at fnm vs. some very competitive lists.

The biggest difficulty I'm having is deciding how all-in to go with Riddleform. It doesn't play well with counters at all, but the deck still seems to get much better after bringing in Negate and Spell Pierce. I suppose it's the upside vs. consistency debate, and any insight here would be much appreciated. Always looking for sideboard help too.

Fling in particular is the card I'm looking at lately, after just barely beating a U/W cycling deck, struggling to get past a board of 2/2 drakes.

Great deck! Honestly the only few addition of have would be Aether Hub. Get that one energy counter in, and if you wanted to throw something completely oddball at them, would be Onward / Victory. Great combo for your enigma drake, and you can pop it off out of nowhere turn 6. You'll have more than enough spells in the graveyard to do an exponential amount of damage with the creature. Have Built to Smash also in there and give it trample while buffing it up on turn 7 with onward. That drake would be something to watch out for. If you wanted to make it a more aggressive deck.
