The power 9 will probably be MOCS promos. The MOCS resto angel is worth about 20-25 tickets online and people need four of that for alot of decks. The power nine will probably have some worth but won't be more than ten tickets. A foil lotus will be a zillion though.
I went 9-2 with U/W in the MOCS and got 16th place my only two loses where to jund going 2-2 to the deck overall I think the way to fight slaughter games is to board one Ispera, one Archon of the Triumvirate, and one Sphinx of the chimes wish I would of thought of it before the event.
B/G is the most played deck online and I just jumped on board, the mirror match feels really luck dependent, does anyone have any good teck for the mirror. I was thinking about stab wound to combat trolls but I don't think that is very good.
I'm almost postie that the root bound defense are to combat supreme verdict decks. Bant is the decks only hard matchup so MDing defense gives the deck a shot and blowing out bant before they can cast a revelation and get the game out o hand
bramblecrush is in the board to fight Planeswalkers and it kill burning vengeance. I've won a few games by LDing my oppent but most of the game it's just to kill PWs and vengeance. I wouldn't main deck it though, it's awful against aggro and it's not a creature of flashback spell so you get no value when it's milled
This is my decklist and I've placed in 3 out of 5 daily events I think it's quite good. I cut boneyard worms beacuse they do not do enough against most decks and I don't miss them at all
I was thinking about the idea more and you could add a think twice to the deck with the intention of never flashing it back if you are in danger of being milled then when you rites or cast the manic you can draw a card if they try and kill it
I don't like the idea of lab maniac. Every deck that you are going to mill yourself against has a very easy time killing it, I think it's better to just point your dream twists at them and mill them out. Also I have one drownyard main and another in my board for control and the mirror, so I mill my opponents fairly frequently.
I've been playing this deck alot online and I don't think olivia is a big problem. The trick to playing against jund is to make sure your splinterfrights and boneyard worms don't die to their burn spells. You can sit back and fill your grave they don't pressure you very well. I've gone 4-0 and 3-1 in two daily events.
The deck looks pretty solid but I think Into the maw of hell is better than departure, it's hard to argue removal P1P1, also where the drakes hard to cast you have no way to mill yourself so you probably shouldn't cont them as three drops. I normally count them as fives, or fours if I have a bunch of mill. Also delver of secrets looks pretty good in your deck with 8 ways to flip it, it might have been better than the spectral flight. I also would have moved into black pack 2 with the demon it's so good, but I tend to draft very greedily in this format you didn't have a ton of blue going into pack 2 and you didn't pass alot of good black so that seams reasonable.

The logic of boarding out the pests and the memnites against aggro decks is you don't need to be as agressive against aggro decks as you do against control decks and you really want to bounce a clasp or a magnet with you Glint Hawks

Blue/White or Blue/White/Black

I don't think the 4th crusader is really needed but I might be wrong. Both infect decks are good matches anyways so I'd rather have SB slots that help against red decks while being good against infect like clasp. If rock was more popular on MTGO i would probably have the 4th one somewhere though.
