Snow is Coming Back for Winter —Sept. 16, 2020
Through testing I've realized that turn 3 is one of the break points for this deck. We do not have much turn 2 interaction which means if we don't have multiple removal pieces on turn 3 we can often start to fall behind. Dead of Winter is a turn three board wipe that allows us to have a clear board going into turn 4 which is really important for this deck. On turn 4 we can start double spelling or casting our planeswalkers and beginning to pull ahead and stabilize. Dead of Winter is being added into the deck to help bring us back into games in aggro matchups.
I'm removing 2 of our hard counters and a Dreadbore to make room for the dead of winters, currently I have taken Logic Knot removed from the list and Archmage's Charm still in the list but those two might be swapped around. If Counterspell is printed in Modern Horizons 2 it will be taking that slot.
I think that the dead of winter package is somewhat optional. In more creature based metas I think its a must but currently with uro piles and prowess as the decks to beat, i think that spot removal and counters is more important then a board wipes. If humans or a similar deck rises to the top of the meta again, dead of winter will be a must.
