Well it looks a dissapointing score of 0 0 0 0 x 6 6 0 6 for me. I didn't expect so many Inkmoth Nexus. Seems like my first idea to put Avacyn into play with the Bloom/Sunrise combo would have been a lot better
Okay after going over the matchups very quickly I think my score is: 5| 6 0 0 0 X 6 6 6 | 24. Again, I do not claim perfection and if that's right I'm surprised my deck did that well!
All you people with your spells, and lines of play. Just play creatures and bash
I was thinking GY hate more for Dredge, I just picked up this deck recently as well and most AIR sideboards have some GY hate, that's why I was curious.
I've been playing AIR since early this season (I have a top4 with it) and I have yet to play against Dredge at any tournament or even see more then 2 at a single event. I have played some practice games against a friend and rarely on MWS and it seems like as long as I get Demigod, Deus, or ETW on turn 1 or 2 I should be able to race and win.
Are the 4 Dead/Gone and Damping Matrix primarily for DDT? That seems like a lot of dedicated SB space. No GY hate?
How's Ablaze working out for you?
I expect a lot of DDT at the upcoming PTQ and I thought Matrix would stop the cycling in the Living End decks, but I found out today that it doesn't work. ;__; Maybe I'll change them now, I don't know. I've really been liking Ablaze as a late topdeck to give some reach (hopefully with a Red card in hand), turn 1/2 drop to make my opponent "mulligan to 3", or (the rare) beating on a zoo deck that's already crippled with an early blood Moon out. I suggest trying her out but it's really a personal choice. As for the graveyard hate:
Any thoughts? I've been liking this build so far I just got a feeling that my SB needs work. Maybe a lot of work. It would probably help if I didn't change it every other day.
I just got to the Semi finals of a local Ext tournament and and now I see that the Boros matchup is hard to win if even possible. I even had Chalice at 1 on turn one, but I drew dead and eventually died to Geos and Shrines. Any possible sideboard cards for this matchup or should we just punt it?
