I might rock one swamp like those Eva Green decks do...just so your dual doesn't get hit a Wasteland and leave you hanging to face a Goyf. And to tone down the damage of Price of Progress just a bit.
So...did we find any solution to Jund? Pack the SB with Essence Scatter and Flashfreeze? DoJ is necessary. I ran into a guy with a splash of white for Knight of the Reliquary. It was brutal. More instants like Harm's Way? I already have Relic and Celestial Purges in the SB.
I ran a mono-white Sigil deck before Tenth and LMSE moved out; I feel this build is way better. I'm open to most suggestions, but I plan on keeping it UW. How do I pull Sigil out faster?
Need SB advice at the moment, right now it's pretty much dedicated to Zoo but I'm not sure if my choices are optimal. Going to a tourney tomorrow and I think I should be expecting a lot of Zoo and the mirror. Right now I have:
3x Pithing Needle
2x Blue Elemental Blast
2x Hydroblast
2x Mind Harness/Threads of Disloyalty
3x Back to Basics
3x Propaganda
Friend suggested Merfolk Assassin for the mirror but I really have no idea how to side for it...
Doesn't Aegis of Honor single handedly **** this entire concept over?
Yes...do you have room in your SB for it?
@weltkrieg: I have dreamed forever of making a Sligh deck with Reckless Abandon. Those are two great ideas for me at least. Is Keldon Champion too much of a gamble in a deck like that?
I have been thinking about Elves lately...could you throw in Arcane Laboratory to slow them down? I know if you use it at all, it should stop ANT, but has anyone tried it against Elves or Gobs? I find myself playing only about one spell a turn anyway, so I cannot imagine it hurts us THAT much. Dark Ritual becomes less useful (can still pump), and I feel that with AL, dropping a Standstill becomes even nicer.
Last night I was playing my buddy who runs White Staxxx. Flagstones of Trokair triggers Cosi's Trickster (whose art is decent), too. Just thought about that since he was doing quite a bit of shuffling. That deck runs Armageddon as the only sorcery (and no instants), so I am leaning towards going half-and-half with Cursecatcher in that one-slot. Without any significant testing.
Again, I play against Eva Green, Aggro Elves, Goblins, Ichorid, and White Staxxx, so I'm still pretty limited in what to test against.
You missed Hour of Reckoning...but that may have been on purpose. I imagine it's okay in token decks (except against the mirror), but I have not used it enough to know.

UGH. Cliche net-deck guys irk me.
4 Pacifism
4 Sigil of the Empty Throne
4 Crystallization
4 Journey to Nowhere
4 Sunspring Expedition
4 Ior Ruin Expedition
4 Wall of Denial
4 Mesa Enchantress
14 Plains
6 Islands
I could get Glacial Fortresses...just wish I could trade my 3 Dragonskulls for them. Oh well.
Sideboard? Quest for Ancient Secrets versus...Mill? I like Controlled Instincts and Celestial Purge. I think Hindering Light is okay. My other ideas are Spell Pierce (not great), Ardent Plea (I don't know what to remove for it.), Flashfreeze, Indestructibility, and Mark of Asylum. How do I protect the Sigil from Thought Hemorrhage? Or do no people run that any more?
Of course, Day of Judgement is always a good choice.
I thought most people use Llawan, Cephalid Empress for the mirror...

Is the Kira used against decks with lots of spot-removal/direct damage? (black stuff, white stuff, Grim Lavamancers, Sloggers, etc.?)
Also, Betrayers helped merfolk somewhat. Jitte, Kira, and Threads are all used a bit. Just an observation.
