I know said earlier that I was retiring this deck, but the presence of Kiora, the Crashing Wave in Born of the Gods sent me crawling back.

My record in the Swiss rounds was 3-1-1, and I lost in the first round of top 8 to place 8th of 30 players. Two of my wins were against W/U Control, which is a very favorable matchup for this deck. By the time the opponent is really ready to get rolling, my hand is full of cards and I’m only a handful of turns away from winning. My other win and my loss in the Swiss were against Mono Black Devotion. The difficulty of that match depends heavily on whether I get the right kind of removal against Pack Rat and how many Gray Merchants my opponent sees. My final loss was against R/G Aggro, knocking me out of the top 8. Pretty much every non-land card in that deck is an efficient and/or resilient threat, making it extremely difficult to keep up if I draw either not enough removal or too many 1-for-1 removal spells. My draw was an ID into top 8, with an opponent who I’m pretty sure was playing W/U Control. He wasn’t able to escape his fate, however, as he was knocked out in the first round of the top 8 by another Maze’s End deck.

The revisions to the deck over the previous version really changed the feel and the essential character, and I find so many fewer frustrating moments during the course of an average game. I haven’t gotten bored with it yet, and hopefully things will stay that way for a while.
