Totally agree, my list run 1 elspeth in sideboard and always feels great. She enter in game 2 against jund/coco/eldrazi, and usually take the game.
Keranos/
Not good now... was great before nahiri.
Gideon/
I play UW control and sometimes I prefer it over elspeth, we have a lot of expensives spells and one mana is a big diference. We need stabilize the table fast and sometimes one turn is too much (no bolt, no helix). In jeskai... im with tapping stones, Elspeth its better.
Hi, Skred player here. We're arguing in our thread whether the Nahiri package is worth splashing for, and since you guys are the experts, I have some questions. Is the package good enough almost blindly slam into any colors that can support it? How often does Emmy muck up hands when you draw her or if she's in your openning hand? and is it that bad? Does Nahiri defend herself reliably? What do you think of only running 2 or 3 copies of her + emerakrul? (Since she's not our primary wincon, but more of a support/secondary.)
Hi, Skred player here. I would suggest just going full Nahiri Jeskai if you're contemplating a splash. You get more tempo tools and protection to strengthen your wincon.
Skred tends to play a relatively large number of wrath effects, which work very well with her. On top of that the white splash gives amazing sideboard options.
I'd say it's worth it but getting enough snow permanents might be difficult. I'd run it in the coldsteel heart versions, not the mind stone versions.
EDIT: wait, what about Koth of the Hammer? How many 4-drop walkers do you want to run, because I do recommend running all 4 Nahiris if you want to run her

It's probably fine to play her in skred since you guys play so many blood moon effects which slow down a good amount of the format.

On mtgsalvation people don't want to discuss ideas, so I give people something else to discuss: my controversial opinions.
I lost against grixis faeries 2-1 the only time I played against it. The MU felt close but I feel they are always in a better position. All of their cards match up really well against ours.
They run a lot of manlands wich is annoying, spellstutter is a nightmare. The guy I played against also had the full set of mistbind clique and he stole the last game by triple time walking me with those faeries.
I think faeries is build in a way to pray on control decks such as ours. Their weakness is the little size of their creatures, which can be dealt with with staticaster or electrolyze, and the individual power of their cards whch is lower in general than ours. Nahiri helps in the MU but its hard to protect her from flash threats and manlands (also grixis fae played bolt and Kcommand)

Also one question to all of you because i lost to it last week and stabiloblau did this week:
Have any of you played vs UB fairies and if you did how do you go about this matchup.
So fast between Stabilosblau and myself we are 0:4 vs that deck however the fairies player was insanely lucky vs Stabiloblau today playing 3 Ancestral Visions in the first 4 turns.
Do you think this is a bad matchup or was is just inexpirience / bad luck that it went so poorly?
cheers,
Crypto
It's a bad match-up. If you want to metagame it I would run 2 copies of Engineered Explosives in the sideboard along with Izzet Staticaster. All of those cards have utility against a host of decks.
I run multiple Clique in my Jeskai deck and I'm off the Geist plan so I think my version is much better at combating Faeries. Ingram's list has to run his spells out into countermagic.
How have geists been in the sideboard for those who have tried it? I'm going to a bigger tournament tomorrow and debating throwing them in just to beat down random combo decks. But at this point given my sideboard, it's either geists or graveyard hate so not sure which to go with. May just hope that 2 angers is good enough vs dredge.
Really like them. They come in against most creatureless decks, especially control decks. Most of those can't really deal with a Geist post-board unless they flash in a snapcaster (which you can always play around, and keep a bolt for instance).
In the mirror, I really like that it gives another angle of attack besides Nahiri, and makes their life total extremely relevant. Even if Geist gets blocked, he comes in for 4 and can quickly kill a PW or put them into burn/colonnade range.
Against combo or non interactive decks (Titan Breach, Storm, Ad Nauseam...) it is a 2-3 turn clock and can stop them from crafting the perfect hand before going off. Of course, it is sometimes difficult to find a spot where you can safely tap out (if you play him turn 3 you might die on their turn, even on the play, so sometimes you have to wait to also have countermagic up. You have to evaluate the probability they have of going off and take some risk, but once you untap with a Geist, you're in a great spot). In general, clique is better against combo because of the flash+ hand disruption effect.

Hey all,
So we had 24 people respond to the AV poll. The question asked:
VS which of the matchups would you definitely want AV in your MB? Alternatively, you could ask the question: Knowing the matchup beforehand, which of the following decks would you put 3(or more) copies of AV in the MB?
Unfortunately pasting these data from excel looks like crap so I'm just posting the percent "Yes" replies cumulative of all the decks.
52.78% All Tier 1&2 decks
36.98% Only Tier 1 decks
65.42% Only Tier 2 decks
This shows that in a completely blind meta that would see equal numbers of tier 1 and 2 decks, it would be beneficial to play AV in your main board. (As an additional side note there were 8 T1 decks and 10 T2 decks listed so if they were an equal distribution, the combined percent would actually be a little higher, by weight.) Alternatively, if you were playing against a meta that was more T1 heavy, these numbers would be more equal or even be more beneficial not to have AV in the MB. I suggest to take a look at your local meta and make the call.
Some thoughts:
I think to improve/fine tune the data results/conclusions we may want to consider favorable vs unfavorable matchups. This may be extremely beneficial when pairing these data with SB options.
I would like to share all the data but I'm not sure how. I believe people who are new or just starting with the deck would benefit from seeing the results and having a better understanding of matchups and if AV is Very, Kind-of, or Not beneficial against a specific deck. If anyone has info of how to post doodle results here as a post, please let me know.
Feel free to ask anything with regards to the results.

The question doesn't make any sense. Some of the Tier one decks (like the mirror is where this card shines) and your data point is asking people only a vauge question about Tier 1, Tier 2, etc.
You don't want AV against Jeskai? You don't want AV against Jund? You don't want AV against COCO? All of those are tier one decks and AV shines in them.
So perhaps you should make a poll that has more sensible choices?

What has been everyone's experience playing against the uptrending TitanShift decks? I'm an old Jeskai Geist player that's been on a UWR Delver brew for the last 6 months or so, and am interested in getting back into full-on Jeskai Control because of how well it's been doing - but one of the biggest problems I've had with UWR Delver is Titanshift, especially when they run summoning trap. How does this deck fare against it?
At the same time - how do things tend to go vs. Tron?

I am surprised you are struggling against Titanshift with a delver deck. Early pressure followed by tempo plays seems like a perfect recipe against them. Then again I don't know the particulars of your deck.
As for your question. The matchup is probably 60-40 in Titanshift's favor, as it is with pretty much any Valakut deck. They aim to prey on fair/slower decks because they fundamentally work on an axis that ignores removal (mostly) and counter-spells; not to mention their explosive nut draws.
It is important to get an early read on what kind of Valakut deck they are playing, since there are so many variations. Do they run Prime Time? Are they blue scapeshift? Do they have a Through the Breach package?
Once you know these things you can prioritize what to interact with. Luckily Jeskai Harbinger has more game against these decks than past iterations because we have a powerful wincon that we can slam relatively early.
The best way to combat Titanshift though is through sideboard cards, which can make the matchup feel really swingy. Crumble to Dust, Spreading Seas, Molten Rain, Aven Mindcensor, Leyline of Sanctity....there are plenty of others but you get the point. Plan to disrupt their early ramp spells, and look for an avenue for winning as soon as possible because as the game progresses they have more inevitability.
Tron is very similar, we are the aggro deck in that matchup and have to pressure them while also disrupting their primary gameplan. Which is why it is another 60-40 matchup (or worse) in Trons favor. Having a nice early threat like Geist or V-Clique is important, plus the plentiful sideboard options.

Just adding my thoughts here: If you play against faeries, play burn. Trying to slam nahiris against them will almost never work, as they have a huge amount of cards that make that plan unreliable. If you can help it, you want to cast as little as possible into their open mana.
I think I would always play the second/third cliques before the first geist, as flash is huge, and clique is good against much more decks.
I've only played vs titan shift once with nahiri, but I won 2-1, and it didn't feel particularly challenging. If they play summoning trap, make sure you don't counter frivolous things (ie: remanding that sakura tribe elder doesn't look so good) but we have lots of ways to pressure them, and they don't have a whole ton of ways to close out games. Versions that play multiple emrakuls might be harder, however. I suspect that the matchup is not far off of even, though I don't really have the data to back that up just yet.
While I'm not quite as optimistic about tron (I feel gr tron is probably about even as well), tron is a better matchup now than it ever has been historically. If you're worried about tron/valakut decks, a couple of crumble to dusts will go a long way.

I love my delver sideboard against decks like Titanshift, Tron etc. Out with the Nahiri-package and one Collonade, and in with 4 Delvers and more counters and try to stick an early clock backed up by counterspells. When we play Serum Visions anyway, we have the option to transform our deck from control/midrange to more of a delver tempo-deck after sideboard, like I do here:
Have any of you played vs UB fairies and if you did how do you go about this matchup.

For what it's worth, SCG had a premium video series, where Tom Ross and Todd Anderson played that very match-up (Faeries vs. Jeskai Harbinger). The faeries deck seems to have much more game vs. Jeskai; I don't think I recall Todd winning any games at all. My memory is hazy though.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
I have been testing Burrenton Forge-Tender in the board over Timely Reinforcements and have had a lot of success. The Kithkin comes down a lot faster and deads an early Goblin Guide or Swiftspear. Her ability nulls a burn spell on demand too.
I would rather play grim lavamancer then delver than, as it fit's the overall playstyle of the deck much better, doesn't even need to flip and can be used against more decks (about any creature matchup).
I play both in my 75 (lavamancer as a one-of). Lavamancer is a superslow clock in comparison to delver, though, so they don't have the same function at all.

Once you know these things you can prioritize what to interact with. Luckily Jeskai Harbinger has more game against these decks than past iterations because we have a powerful wincon that we can slam relatively early.
The best way to combat Titanshift though is through sideboard cards, which can make the matchup feel really swingy. Crumble to Dust, Spreading Seas, Molten Rain, Aven Mindcensor, Leyline of Sanctity....there are plenty of others but you get the point. Plan to disrupt their early ramp spells, and look for an avenue for winning as soon as possible because as the game progresses they have more inevitability.
Tron is very similar, we are the aggro deck in that matchup and have to pressure them while also disrupting their primary gameplan. Which is why it is another 60-40 matchup (or worse) in Trons favor. Having a nice early threat like Geist or V-Clique is important, plus the plentiful sideboard options.

WCDeath and Taxes(sold)I think I would always play the second/third cliques before the first geist, as flash is huge, and clique is good against much more decks.
I've only played vs titan shift once with nahiri, but I won 2-1, and it didn't feel particularly challenging. If they play summoning trap, make sure you don't counter frivolous things (ie: remanding that sakura tribe elder doesn't look so good) but we have lots of ways to pressure them, and they don't have a whole ton of ways to close out games. Versions that play multiple emrakuls might be harder, however. I suspect that the matchup is not far off of even, though I don't really have the data to back that up just yet.
While I'm not quite as optimistic about tron (I feel gr tron is probably about even as well), tron is a better matchup now than it ever has been historically. If you're worried about tron/valakut decks, a couple of crumble to dusts will go a long way.
I love my delver sideboard against decks like Titanshift, Tron etc. Out with the Nahiri-package and one Collonade, and in with 4 Delvers and more counters and try to stick an early clock backed up by counterspells. When we play Serum Visions anyway, we have the option to transform our deck from control/midrange to more of a delver tempo-deck after sideboard, like I do here:

For what it's worth, SCG had a premium video series, where Tom Ross and Todd Anderson played that very match-up (Faeries vs. Jeskai Harbinger). The faeries deck seems to have much more game vs. Jeskai; I don't think I recall Todd winning any games at all. My memory is hazy though.
I play both in my 75 (lavamancer as a one-of). Lavamancer is a superslow clock in comparison to delver, though, so they don't have the same function at all.
