The Game Day, aka I hate Ramp and Bant Company —April 30, 2016
So, today, (30/04) I came against some new decks on my playgroup, but nothing unexpectable...
- First phase: BR Control 0 x 2 Bant Company
Here i got a big fall, game one I was expecting an easy match, just play the wipes and I can deal with company, until I, with 6 diferent types of destroy on my hand, tried to use a Languish to kill 3 creatures (one of them morphed), that morphed and countered my Languish, making me die the next turn. Besides that, I destroyed any treat, even after he used THREE Companies.
Game 2, He put some counters that didn't see game, but He won the game anyway, as I couldn't cast most of spells because of the double Black cost ( I was with 2/3 mountains and 1 swamp at turn 3 and 4).
Side in/out
+2x Flaying Tendrils
+1x Crumble to Dust
-1x To the Slaughter
-1x Read the Bones
- Second phase: UW Humans 0 x 2 BR Control
I will try to make it simple, It was a stomp... I killed every and any single creature he putted on the battlefield. Game 1 and 2 he managed to put the Always Watching, and I still managed to deal with the creatures. Game 2 he got an Ojutai, but he died, as i got Dark-dwellers, Thunderbreak and Chandra on the battlefield.
Side in/out:
+3x Fiery Impulse
+2x Flaying Tendrils
-2x Read the Bones
-1x To the Slaughter
~ I took out all the sacrificies, as he had always a lot of creatures in the battlefield, I remove Read the bones, as I didn't want to die more and I don't need the draw as I took out all the useless cards. Ob was out because he can kill me easily too, so against those matchup he is just a 5 mana destroy creature.
- Third Phase: GR Ramp 2 x 1 RB Control
Game 1 was a stomp, he got 2x Worldbreaker and an Ulamog... So, all my lands were exiled, and, obviously, I lost...
Game 2, I used duress on turn 1 and took out his ramp, as the game progress I got 2x Crumble to Dust on his lands, and then easy win.
Game 3, I got the same stomp as game 2, besides that, I could even make him sacrifice some creatures, but he always had a Jaddi Offshoot, so my sacrifices couldn't hit his bigger creatures.
Side in/out:
+2x Crumble to Dust
+2x Ruinous Path
-2x Languish
-2x Ultimate Price
-1x Read the Bones
- Fourth Phase: BR Vampire 0 x 2 BR Control
Same stomp as the UW humans matchup. and the same sided cards. Destroyed everything and attacked with the big guys.
As for this, I see my deck need more answer for Ramp and company, actually, he need more answer against sorcery/instant (Counterspells, ramps and Company) and casually an enchantment like alway watching.
So I am adding 2x Transgress the Mind to the side deck and one to the main deck, so I can at least deal with a company/ramp in game 1, but preferably at game 2 and 3. I am adding one more Crumble to Dust to the side, as it can easily destroy a ramp deck and maybe screw the bant company manabase. I am adding some 3x Evolving Wilds as i need the mana fix (I got almost mana screwed in 3 of 7 games, and I was mana screwed in 2 of them)
