MTG Salvation

sultai scavenger being boltable still rule it out?

Surgical maindeck seems very suspect. It's card disadvantage plain and simple.

Had the same discussion with WraithPK the other day.
What do you guys think I should cut to fir 2 Ceremonious Rejection in? Is there something I have a lot of redundancy in the sideboard? I was thinking the most up-for-discussion cards are Countersquall ,maybe Kolaghan's Command and/or the second Temur Battle Rage.
Anger Of The Gods is great in my meta with some Dredge players and Abzan Company on the rise. I do want it in.

I'd probably cut a countsquall and a grind element, etiher kommand or Lili.

I tried the white splash for a bit. The land base really sucks. Godless shrine in game one is so bad if you draw into it or it's in your opener. Thought about having the shrine in the SB and switch to 4 colours G2/G3 but never got around to trying it out. Stony silence (lantern player in my local meta) and souls are nice to have access to . Ranger doesn't seem as good to me without the traverses that Jund DS has to search him out.

With all this talk of cutting bolts maybe having a 3rd watery grave is the right choice. Both U and B are needed for the best T1 plays. Red is really just a splash in this deck. With 12 fetches + 2 shocks that gives 14 red sources which is more than enough to get R by T2 or T3 if Frank Karstens land base analysis is anything to go by. Having 12 fetches + 3 graves + 1 shock gives 16 U or B sources.



EDIT: I forgot about basics. There are 17 sources for either black or blue. For blue this is two shy of the recommended 19 for 2 colour sources by T3 (for snap + 1 mana U play)

I like using main phase mtg tier list. It's manually curated so there's less weird artifacts from decks being mis-categorized

I was under the impression that taking out cantrips (the thought scours not the wraiths) was a terrible idea. What circumstances make it acceptable vs. Grixis Delver?

What are the three collective brutalities for? What do you bring them in against?

would reality hemorrhage be worth considering or is it too narrow?

Fair enough. In my experience it's been the Etched Champion and manland+plating that does me in. Perhaps it'd be worthwhile to switch Angers back to Kozilek's Returns since there seems to be less dredge lately. That a non-graveyard dependent abzan coco decks with the vizier/druid combo is rising lessens the appeal for Anger too

I've been running flaying tendrils over anger. Easier to cast, good vs. kitchen finks, hits etched champion. Altho' it's not great vs. dredge.
