Deck isn't great against Tier 1 decks —May 24, 2017

If your meta is full of Tier 1 decks then this one will struggle.

It's OK against 1-black-zombies, and 1-mardu-vehicles, but it really struggles against yuuya-wantanabes-temur-marvel-2-pt-akh.

It easily beats most Tier 2 decks.

Just wanted to let people know so that they don't get disappointed if they build it.

Tonight I came first at my LGS WNM, but with Cast a Shadow, which is much more competitive.

Really Nice Deck! Im not too much of standard decks, so I wanted to look for a budget one, and this look amazing! Great job! I would like to know if you played at any gameday or fnm lately, to know the overall performance of the deck, because I really want to try it out. Thanks!

I don't usually play Game Day so I can't give you any info about that.

I've only played this at two FNMs so far.

The first one I came second, and I've written a match report about that.

In the second one I went 2-2.

I won two games 2-0 (sorry, I can't remember what decks I was playing against).

I lost 0-2 against UR Fevered Visions Control, because I hadn't practised against that deck or set up a Sideboard for it.

The other deck I lost 1-2 against was Brennan DeCandio's B/G Delirium (#1 SCG Columbus), quite frankly due to poor Sideboarding and bad play by me in the third game.

ROUROU has had success with this deck, as detailed here.

I know there are some other users who have played it, but they don't all report back.

It definitely struggles against UR Fevered Visions Control, so if your meta is full of those decks then I would go with something else.

I don't have any real world experience playing against Yuuya Wantanabe's Temur Marvel (#2 PT AKH). I've set up a Sideboard through playtesting against that deck, but it does provide this one with some challenges.

I hope all of that helps.

If you do put this deck together and play it, let me know how it goes.

Thank you very much Argeaux!

I'll try to build the deck in a coupleof weeks and I'll try it out.

I'll give my report when I test it.

Thanks again!

Yo! You misspelled Transgress the Mind under sideboard notes on Baral Control by LSV. I'm not being picky, just thought you may like to know. Lol

hardhitta71194 thanks for the catch.

I constantly misspell that thing.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO TRANGRESS THE MIND?

You are correct, WotC are the ones who got it wrong!

I always misspell Ghirapur Orrery. Took me 3 tries that time. Lol

I mean really, some of the card names are overly long and complicated.

Skysovereign, Consul Flagship?

Whoever thought that up should get a stern talking to.

Then there's this guy: Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental

TappedOut Apparently doesn't have the card loaded but its a real card in an unset ._.

Zaueski I was trying to remember the name of that card!

And Argeaux I have to be honest, it took me longer than is reasonable to be able to spell your name correctly. Lol but I have it on lock now.... well most of the time.

Just call me Argy.

That's my preferred name but someone on TappedOut, who has never once used the site, grabbed it.
