For the primer. Currently accepting short sideboard guides against these decks.
I don't have much experience against them, so other people's ideas are much needed here.

Yep, that's why I asked for input. Two people thinking on it is better than one person. Hmm, I see... so spreading seas is also core of the deck now, will add that. Anyway, I included as few cards as possible in the core, to allow people new to the deck to have a few more flex slots.
About the wish build you are developing. Things will become stagnant if we don't test new cards. Looking for other cards that can be used is one way for the deck to grow. As long as the core strategy is still the same, I think we can include the wish variant at the bottom. Of course, the main focus is still the UW version which will be covered at the top part of the primer.
I see that your build is using a Champion of Wits. How is it compared to Court Hussar?
Ok, so it's three then. Oh btw, I've gathered some more data and links tonight... just need a little more time to put things together.
Will be making this primer as detailed as possible.
Sorry for double post. How many Sun Titan do people consider the core of the deck? I know the number of titans was previously 4 in the main, but that might have changed now. I need people's input on this.
No rush in writing things. We'll take this slow and finish on a 2 week time table. hehe
On the next days I will be writing on the morning in another forum, and on night I will be working here compiling data from contributors and building up the primer.
Nice to see you back Fincown. Wait.. isn't the old primer yours, or did it belong to someone else? Anyway, as we all know there was a forum transition and some users were deleted and the threads they started got deleted as well. I waited for someone to claim the azorius thread so that it would be undeleted, but after a month no one claimed.. so I took it. Will be taking references from the old primer as I write this new one.
I was actively playing the deck 2015-2017, but stopped for the whole 2018 because our lgs no longer hosted modern. It would be helpful to get match up data from you guys who played the deck 2018-up to the present, as you probably know some things that I do not. Particularly in match ups to the current popular decks. I would credit the contributors as the new primer is built.
for now.. matchup data and sideboard guide against these competitive decks would be a good start --- Mono R Arclight, UR Arclight, Burn, Grixis Shadow, Hollow One, Dredge, Humans, Spirits, and Scaled Affinity.
I would be gathering some data on recent winning lists on the next days as the new primer is built.
Right now I'm also writing for a convention report on non-mtg stuff on another forum, so I can't put things up very fast here. Although with everyone's help I think we can get this new primer done in a week or two.

If you want, I could add your Glittering wish version on the unconventional lists section of the new primer.
I've been testing Tithe Taker in my build, and it's been great. My gameplan with the deck is to use the inevitability of eventually getting Emeria online, using the creatures and whatnot as just speedbumps and disruption against the opponent to live long enough to get Emeria online. Tithe Taker does just that, in forcing the opponent to play around being able to fetch and cast spells on my turn, and chumping twice. I'm still not particularly happy with the deck, and feel that more needs to be done in order to make it more efficient, but I do feel that Tithe Taker goes a long way towards achieving that goal.
Hmm, care to share your Tithe Taker list? I can create a section in the primer for unconventional builds.
Good morning. As the thread was deleted. To prevent the data from being lost, I have decided to temporarily take over the primer. Not very active in FNM right now. But I think I have enough experience with the deck to write a primer for the thread. Anyone who wants to give assistance on card choices, and recent match-up data are welcome. Thank you.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Will test when I get my hands on one. The spendings this holiday season has left me very little extra money. Need to wait for the next paycheck before getting any new mtg card.

Do you have plenty experience playing against Amulet Titan? It would be great if you could write a sideboard strategy for that too.
I already have a rough draft of the primer, and you are credited on the parts that you contributed.

What does your most recent UW list look like? If you want, I can use it as the sample deck list in the primer.
It's all coming together now. I just need a little more time.

Still many cards left to be revealed. So we just have to wait.
