I would like to report from the SFGP. I went 3-3-0, then dropped seeing as I have no chance to make it to Day 2 and the computer went down, so no way I would survive playing til midnight.
All three losses were to all three Goyf deck variants (GW, GWr, GWu), while my wins were against all other aggro decks. I did play the Damnation SB, and while it did help me against all the other aggro, it did not come through too great for me. I even had 2 Pongify instead of Arrows MD, but never saw them to test them.
Other notes:
- Triske was awesome, but never got a chance to play with Ruins.
- Pact was okay, as were Aeon Chroniclers.
- To everyone on the thread: You were right, I was wrong, Arrows rock in the mirror.
- I hate gofy, I hate gofy, I hate gofy. Oh, and it's pretty little Avenger, too.
There's another PTQ tomorrow, but with 600+ people from the GP out, I folding in for the season. Standard ho!
I am having a tough time realizing how crucial Arrows are in the mirror. Unless me or my partners are playing the deck incorrectly, it feels that resolving a Teferi is more threatening to take out Visions, Cloudskates, and counters. The current advantage of arrows seem to be making morphs (Shapeshifter/Willbender) and Cloudskates smaller in the mirror. I definitely will acknowledge it's necessary against Finkel and Ranger, but at that point, it seems a better card suited to the SB.
I've been enjoying a Pact MB for another target for Tolaria, but yes, it's not too useful in the mirror.
