"And then you kill it with fire from a good, old-fashioned, American-made M1A1 flamethrower, a fine weapon responsible for killing many Nazis in the actual World War II."
Glorifying the killing of people is cool now, apparently - just don't make fun of cosplayers.
Humans is still a massacre I guess.
I would never run Abrade maindeck in GDS, the deck runs such a tight ship it can't allow for even a single potentially dead card. Maindeck Kcommand is certainly an interesting proposition right now though.
Elderspell is a bit too conditional for my tastes and gets blown out by literally every counterspell that UW might run including Spell Snare. The sorcery speed is a major drawback. Trophy, Pulse, Decay. Running Choke in my sb right now but it might be too narrow.
UW has gotten so many good toys in the past two years, which is fair enough, but man I hope MH helps us out a bit as well. BBE and Trophy alone aren't going to cut it at this rate.
Karn is everywhere now. From Prison decks to Tron to Amulet to Titanshift, it's getting out of hand already.
Hopefully the former, but all the top tier decks are getting tougher and tougher for us to beat. Like you said, Blast Zone is rough and it slots into Dredge, Tron and UW alike. It's impossible to interact with and hits us where it hurts, when it hurts - the early turns.
I'm laying my beloved Traverse Shadow to rest for a bit and switching to UR Kiki, it's just such an uphill battle right now.
