Tweaked SB again, Going with Finks baby! —Jan. 26, 2015

@slovakattack I think this is what the final build will look like. I tested it a few times last night an Wurmcoil Engine was an all-star so I like him MB.

Any thoughts?

I'd still like to get my hands on a Celestial Colonnade as well and slot it in. Perhaps a Leyline or two in the SB.

I would take out a land (bringing you back down to 60 cards), and you could probably get away with getting rid of engineered explosives (or at least SBing it) in the new meta. I would find room for Slaughter Pact in your MB, as it can ruin Twin/Kikkistuff, which is going to be the premier UWR deck for the foreseeable future. Now that Pod is dead, Nature's Claim can come out of the SB. Try 1x Creeping Corrosion and 1x Hurkyl's Recall. I am still adjusting my own SB, so we shall see what becomes of that.

Shadow of Doubt seems interesting to me as a MB card. Any particular reason why?

I like those recommendations.

I run 1x Shadow of Doubt just for that lol, put some doubt in their mind. Snuff a fetch land, Snuff out prime time digging, pretty much anything that I can, it's just for some brain games and setting them back a land drop is nice and kinda messes with their strategy. They also gotta think about snapcaster too.

It's easy SB material. But yeah, main reason, psychological warfare baby

=p

It shouldn't hurt all that much.

If you're having trouble with Tron, which is a matchup I don't like for Gifts, try a few Evil Presence in your SB. Making their tron lands swamps robs them of their ability to tap for extra mana, and gives you time to get some land destruction online.

I haven't faced tron yet, but I'm sure I will and I like Evil Presence in case I don't have a Shadow of Doubt.

What do you think about Clever Impersonator?, Copy Lili, Karn, Wurmcoil, Batterskull, Anything else that might be threatening.

It's neat, but not needed. I would not devote a slot to it.

Phyrexian Obliterator maybe? Actually, probably not because it's a wallet obliterator.

I have a couple actually. But I just don't think they fit into this brew because it's easily removed.

Wurmcoil throws out tokens when it eats removal (bringing it back with Academy Ruins) while Batterskull can attack without tapping itself out, Has lifelink AND I can bounce it to my hand in response of removal.
