Getting Closer // GP Toronto —Feb. 20, 2019

Following GP Toronto (went 4-4 playing Bant Spirits 3 times ): unfortunately), the list has gotten a lot shinier as we continue to foil out the deck getting closer by the day. The notable new ones are the missing 3 foil Phyrexian Unlife, the 4 Japanese foil Sleight of Hand, and the 1 foil Grand Abolisher which was brought in for the Spirits matchup - funny story I began the day with 3 in my board though my buddy convinced me to take two out as we didn't expect spirits to be popular, I shouldn't have listened though managed to steal one spirits win, other loses were to Lantern and the mirror (this one was my fault I played too aggressively).

Overall a mediocre tournament but the deck felt good and well-positioned, most of it was my error and just dumb bad luck.

I was going to recommend Patrician's Scorn! but then I decided against it because of Phyrexian Unlife...

I would argue that Fragmentize or Disenchant are both more powerful than the scorn.

As far as individual cards go you are correct both Fragmentize and Disenchant are more powerful than Patrician's Scorn, however my choice of playing Patrician's Scorn is not out of judging what the most powerful enchantment hate I can use in my sideboard is, it's more specifically targeted at a couple of decks in my current local meta where it is very good, notably the advance of R/W prison around here, a deck that has access to a multitude of problem enchantments, notably Card: stony silence, Eidolon of Rhetoric, Blood Moon, Rule of Law, Runed Halo, Banishing Light, and the list goes on as this player really focused on the enchantment side of things, not to mention U/W control seeing more play here with Runed Halo, Card: stony silence, amongst over more fringe tech. Scorn opens up a line in certain scenarios (basically when Rule of Law isn't out) where I can Angel's Grace then scorn removing any obstacle and then casting Ad Nauseam and winning from seemingly nowhere. As such for my current needs a simple Disenchant, while considered, will only serve to solve part of the problem. At a larger tournament I'm more likely to take the Disenchant as you correctly pointed out it's more powerful, but at this point in time Patrician's Scorn is the best option to deal with the problem. Thank you for pointing it out and allowing me to more fully explain the choice!
