The toughest match up was against Jeskai Black by far. I didn't feel at a big disadvantage, but it is a challenge for sure. Game one I couldn't find a green source and quickly fell behind. I don't usually get color screwed, but when I do it tends to be in one of the major colors I need that I happen to have the most sources for (Green or Black). Game 2 should have been a win, but I failed to find any removal and Exert Influence being flashed back off of Jace is a really good way to turn the tables. Follow up stealing two of my critters with two mantis riders and well... I've been thinking about sideboarding that card and after seeing it completely hose me last night, it makes me want to even more. I don't recall boarding in Disdainful Stroke, which was definitely a mistake on my part.
