I've been play testing on paper and online for a little bit now in preparation for states and was wondering if there was any way to deal with fleeceman after monstrous besides chump blocking... Late game the guy just plays a fleecemane and then monstrous'es in response to any way to remove it...
Lobotomy is nice, but not on a frail body trying to get through. The 4 slot is already composed of Jace, Sorin or Supreme Verdict. They all seem better choices.
Moonylol : How do you kill 'walkers?
I honestly haven't had too much trouble with planeswalkers, but I have 1 detention sphere and 1 oblivion ring mb and 1 detention sphere sb as well. With lingering souls and what not I can usually swing into them as well.
I really really like your list. I played cawblade for gp Lincoln and I think this list is a huge step in the right direction for u/w tempo. However, I am extremely curious. What is the metamorph for? Also, how is your martyr-proc match up?
Thanks! As for the metamorph I mainboard 1 because it's a utility card but also to get rid of other legendaries... say.. thrun for example. He can win the game just by himself... I haven't actually played against martyr-proc... Though I am planning to play at GP San Jose (california) in the upcoming fall.
little update as well I took out the remands and am now trying divine deflection.
Why don't you use Steelshaper's Gift?
If you'd like to use different swords, you can search one of them with only one mana!
But if I were you,I would use 2nd Sword of FaF instead of Sword of FaI.
Steelshaper's gift is a good card, but you don't need to win with a sword on the board. I think drawing into the swords is good enough. Steelshaper's gift just ends up being slow and clunky.
Fire and Ice has so much value... But Feast and Famine is good too. Personal preference.
Augur of Bolas may be slow, but Tiago is also surprisingly slow. After Jund rips my hand a new one, I love digging for stuff with Augur of Bolas. Tiago can't dig for fuel on Turn 3.
I still love playing both of those guys in conjunction, though. Augur of Bolas feeds Tiago pretty well.
If you're searching for combo pieces, Peer Through Depths does Augur of Bolas's job three times better.
Well here's my updated list... Maybe I can see if i have room for Augur of Bolas... I'm just not sure what I would cut for him...
Here's the other thread for reference.

Chain to the rocks is less than useless in your deck.

I'm not sure where to go for my sideboard yet...
this just seems very bad. like you took a draft deck and added 4 to everything.
