I'm decided that i want to play scapeshift and I cant decide which list is "better". I'm leaning towards Ayers list because of the cryptics, but I wanted a 2nd opinion.

I'm assuming your "Ayers' list" is the list he played at Grand Prix Richmond, and that "Park's list" is the deck he used to win Grand Prix Minneapolis.

I have been playing a lot of Scapeshift over the last couple of months, and you can check out my current list here:

Both of their lists are somewhat obsolete now. Dig Through Time is a very powerful card from Khans of Tarkir that needs to be in your deck. If you want to pick one, I'd have to go with Park's because Ayers chooses to play Peer Through Depths , Farseek and fewer Snapcaster Mage s, which are likely poorer cards than Telling Time and Serum Visions . You can modify Park's list to play four Cryptic Command if you'd like, as it's a very solid build.

Ah, my bad.

Jun Young Park's Scapeshift

Daryl Ayers' Scapeshift

This is Ayers' most recent MTGO list in case I am mistaken about what the OP was discussing.

GlistenerAgent Sorry for not posting the lists. I didn't realize i didn't post them alongside the rest of the post until i saw your comments. Yes the lists i was referring to was the one that Ayers played at Richmond and the one that Park used to win the GP.

Absolutely not a fan of the Firespout/Lightning Bolt list.

I don't think Scapeshift wants any cards in the maindeck that don't A. Ramp B. Draw a card or C. Kill your opponent.

Or are lands lol

I currently don't like Peer Through Depths , but if you like it go right ahead.
