If you had resto and chord in hand why couldn't you chord for skite, blink witness with resto and then chord for kiki within the next few turns? Maybe I'm understanding it wrong. I do think getting skite is the best option most of the time
Then the answer is yes. If he had two colorless mana source I would have waited to chord or resto since he could not boost for lethal and counter. He is not even obliged to activate inkmoth for lethal....
Looking at the description of your board and of his, you should probably have mulled anyway and also cut the wall for something more relevant against infect. Thalia is super nice in that MU.
I've been thinking about putting Thalia in the board, but idk if she's good enough against decks that aren't infect or storm. She seems alright against burn, but against decks like grixis control, twin, delver, scapeshift, etc. she seems like just a minor annoyance.
Round 1 - Mono White D&T 0-2
Round 2 - Mono U Tron 2-0
Round 3 - Grixis Control 2-0
Round 4 - UG Infect 2-0
Round 5 - Merfolk 2-1
Round 6 - Mono U Tron 2-1
Top 8 - Amulet Bloom 2-1
Quarter Finals - UW Control 2-1
Finals - Offered him the byes, he'll be attending GP Pittsburgh, I won't and 1st/2nd was same prize structure.
Very happy with my current list, the only MD tweaks I'm currently messing around with are:
Your deck is quite a bit different from the Hoogland-esque version I've been using. How do you like Engineered Explosives in the board?
Do you guys have a poster of Hoogland in your room ? From time to time I feel like this thread is the hoogland's fan club thread...
Jealous much? Hoogland has been doing a lot of testing with the deck and put up some decent results. There's a reason we attribute the wall builds and such to him. No need to get butt hurt that we don't call it the artvi list or anything similar. People called midrange zoo Kibler zoo for the longest time because he's a pro player that did well with the deck.

Engineered is primarily a nod at Elves, Merfolk, Affinity, Lantern, Infect and a few other decks. Looping it with Eternal Witness just wins most games. I replaced Fiery Justice with it a while back and never second guessed it.
I'd played a very similar list to the current Kiki Chord deck Hoogland has been throwing around right after the Pod Banning. It was a bit clunky for my tastes, but it appears he's dialed it in a bit.

I thought the same thing about Collected Company. Different strokes I guess.

Haha no, I just really like his list and as mentioned, I appreciate what he's done for the deck. Playing stuff like Courser and Pia + Kiran in modern just feels awesome.

I would rather have a street with my name than a deck I do not really care actually. I just find that sometimes you guys have trouble to think out of the box.

Company is great, looping companies with Witness and Image copying Witness is just too much for most fair decks to handle. Cards like Voice and Kitchen Finks eat up Jund/Grixis Control. Fauna Shaman just wins games when unchecked and opens up toolbox cards outside of just playing Chord.
The combination of Chord, Shaman & Company is probably the closest thing to Pod still available to the format. I will admit though, you need to spend a ton of time with this deck as sometimes the lines of play just feel infinite.

Don't you dare talk about hoogland-senpai like that.

@ Felonioouscrap: Quite a relief then
