I've played some games against big mana decks lately (mostly Amulet Titan & Scapeshift) but I'm having a hard time. Iknow that our deck struggle against these kind of decks but I would like to know how should I play/adapt when I face one, what are the tips to play against them.
Or just generally speaking, if you have any piece of advice, it would be appreciated ^^
here is my list :
24 LANDS
4 Blooming Marsh
3 Field of Ruin
3 Forest
2 Hissing Quagmire
2 Overgrown Tomb
4 Swamp
2 Treetop Village
4 Verdant Catacombs
15 CREATURES
4 Dark Confidant
1 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
3 Scavenging Ooze
4 Tarmogoyf
3 Tireless Tracker

Thanks for sharing your results and thoughts. I do like your feedback about Urborg, I think I might try it in my list !
What do you guys think about Spawn of Mayhem ? Can we run 1 or maybe 2 or is it exclusively reserved to lists that can deal direct damage (Jund with Lightning Bolt for example) ?
Could you give us a more detailed report on your MU ? Especially Spirits which is a rather hard MU for us.
How did you like Nihil Spellbombs ? Why not running 3x Leyline of the Void instead ?
About Anger of the Gods and your SB, I think it depends on your local meta. I'd probably cut 1x Wear//Tear and 1x Pithing Needle OR 2x Goblin Rabblemaster.
As you mentioned, the exile effect is really good and is probably why this card is played (amazing against decks that can bring back creatures from GY like dredge, phoenix decks or Hollow One). I don't know if the lifelink option is really good in our deck, I don't see where we could need it or when we would prefere to have lifelink over something else but it's worth trying it out.
Hazoret is a decent one-off in Mardu in my opinion, it helps against grindy MU. It is a flex spot tho, so you should adapt to your local meta. Could be a SB option too
I've played this MU quite a lot and I have had a hard time even winning a game (I think I've played around 30 BO3 and won maybe one). I think you have really low chances of winning G1 and G2 / G3 depends on your SB but I wouldn't spend too much time on this MU, it is gonna be a lost BO3 most of the time.
Hey guys, I'm looking for some infos about the Jeskai Control MU. I'm currently struggling a bit with it.
I know that Blood Moon usually seal the deal if we manage to land it early on but it doesn't seem to be the case for me (or at least, not always). I feel that game one, if I don't draw my lootings (and if the cards I draw with looting aren't what I need) I fall behind pretty quickly and eventually concede to their threats/lock.
Another thing that I usually lose to is when Azcanta flip. They will always find a way to get more CA than me and grind better to the late game.
Post board it is even worst, they have more answers. I was relying on the "Blood Moon + Molten Rain" land destruction SB Plan (and some Wear//Tear for Rest in Peace and Azcanta not flipped).
So, I'd like to know what you think about the MU (pre and post board).
Thanks guys, at least I know it's a quite hard MU now and I'm not the only one struggling with it.
But we should be able to win it more often though, I don't know what the stats are but personally I literally never won a single game.
Maybe with another SB plan ? Is 3 Ensnaring Bridge too much in the SB ? Maybe we can rely on Damnation or something like that and add tutors (Infernal Tutor ?), what do you think, would it be too slow ?
Can I have your feedback about Barren Moor ? I was tempted to add one or two cycle lands but never tried, how did you perform with them ?
Just a little bump, really need some help with those MU =/

Yeah, you're right ^^'
I should've said "Mardu Pyromancerless" =P
Gerry Thompson just tried a new Mardu Pyro list with Runaway Steam kin and Arclight Phoenix.
What do you think ?
