Stubborn Denial

Instant

Counter target noncreature spell unless its controller pays {1}.

Ferocious — If you control a creature with power 4 or greater, counter that spell instead.

Sometimes I wish it was "iSufferFromEDHD" but we all collectively suffer from it anyway.

Stubborn Denial gets my vote then

Initial thoughts after first RCQ (see above):


Potential Changes:

  1. -1 Winternight Stories & +1 Kiora, the Rising Tide
  2. Find room for 2x Mystical Dispute's in the Sideboard

Thanks capwner! Honestly its because I only have one copy of Stubborn Denial and keep forgetting to pick up another lol... I'll split it for now but certainly plan to follow through on double stub.

emask I think I agree with changing Dovin's Veto to Stubborn Denial. Now I'm trying to decide if it's better to have a 4th copy of Virtue of Persistence or Leyline Binding. If I add the 4th copy of Leyline Binding and don't take out the 4th copy of Virtue of Persistence, what would I take out?

Big fan of Stubborn Denial, but also the other low costed specific counters like Spell Pierce and Dispel. That one mana can make the difference sometimes!

Maybe a couple of the Spell Pierce or Stubborn Denial ?

You totally don't have to tho! The current build is great. Just figured it may offer some variation to your tool box.

Looking at your curve, I'd honestly rather include more MV1 card. As off right now, you have two 1-drops, seven 2-drops and then massively many 3s. You have quite a few big creatures though, so my vote goes to Stubborn Denial. It's a great counter in the early game when everybody is trying to curve out, and with Thraxi out, it's the greatest MV1-prorection you could wish for

Andramalech, I extremely appreciate the feedback! :) Your suggestions are nice however most of them probably won't make the cut. Other than potential synergy with Soul-Scar Mage, Adeliz is a bit slow due to it having a cmc of 3. I have Sprite Dragon in my maybeboard which has a similar effect but cheaper AND the buffs are permanent. Also, with Ingenious Prodigy, it was a good thought but it's also slow and requires a higher "X" value in its cost for effective drawing. I have DRC's which dumps my spells into the graveyard for card advantage fueling Underworld Breach. As for Stubborn Denial and Royal Treatment, I have slightly better cards in my sideboard for their type of ability: Flusterstorm, which triggers prowess with storm, and it isn't hard to "storm" it in this deck, and Veil of Summer, which prevents my stuff from being countered on top of the hexproof effect as well as the potential card draw. However, since I currently cannot afford Flusterstorms right now (lol), I will use stubborn denials or Spell Pierces in its place in my sideboard. Scale Up is a cool idea with the prowess effect, so I might consider tinkering with it, but since my mana base lacks green and my deck is more UR focused (most of my green spells have another way of casting) it probably won't make a spot in the deck.
