Real talk, every time I take on UW Control (which is often because it is everywhere on MTGO), it feels like an impossible match-up. Has anyone seen success in devoting SB cards to the match-up? If so, which cards have helped? I usually go with the following.
When you guys are struggling to get delirium online, have you guys every played a Death's Shadow (DS) when your life is above 12 just to get a creature in the graveyard?
I have ran into a few situations where I have had a transverse, a few fetchlands (which I kept flooding on), and a DS in hand at 15 life. The graveyard had 3 types, artifact, sorcery, and land. Do you hold on a turn and focus on playing a 1/1 DS next turn, or play the DS automatically sending it to the graveyard to get delirium, and grab a Tarmogoyf?
This 5-0 MTGO list ran main deck Ranger of Eos. I'm trying to think of the meta where this would be best to run main deck... Probably really grindy metas with lots of Abzan and Jund?
Lingering Souls is one of the best cards ever printed against grindy decks in my opinion. I don't know how Gery and Majors beat heavy removal decks with out that cards and Ranger of Eos.
I definitely agree. There's a lot of footage of SCG Dallas where Lingering Souls was the only reason Shadow decks were able to win game 2 or 3.
GB/x shadow lists lost a larger hold, while UB/x has risen in play.
What do you guys think this means for the deck? To me, it looks like the meta is just adjusting to the presence of the GB/x shadow decks.
Hi all, how AM I supposed to side against kikki chord ? I play with thé white splash
As a former kiki chord player, a few cards in the shadow list really stand out.
Mainboard:
1. Liliana, the Last Hope - amazing against all the mana dorks and small critters they run.
2. Discard - great for taking apart the ramp and combo pieces.
Sideboard:
1. Anger of the Gods - Backbreaking against an established board
2. Nihil Spellbomb - Stop Eternal Witness shenanigans. Prevents them from buying back Chord of Calling or anything else.
3. Fulminator Mage - Kiki mana bases tend to be greedy, especially when they splash a 4th color for black or blue. Punish them.
