So I got a tournament in about 12 hours for a Tabernacle guaranteed for first place. I'm going to play D&T here's my list.. I think i'm not so sure on it, as of right now I only know a few other decks that will be there such as MUD, Esper Deathblade, That Dark Depths land deck with punishing fire, Imperial Painter, High Tide and likely more than a few Ad naus decks of some sort.
Overall a stock list, but i'm unsure of the sideboard and would love any suggestions and ideas, even more so based on what little of my meta i know/blind meta.
This has some of the worst half-assed attempts at flavor I have ever seen from Magic.
A Greek influenced block should be that, INFLUENCED. Not just changing names of legends, and people from Greek Mythology.
Here's King Midas Er, I mean Macar! Oh and this totally unique and original Trojan Hors... Akroan HORSE! The entire block is just filled with that crap. I read online that was one of the reason Kamigawa wasn't well received, but at least it did a good job of not just Copy and pasting Myths.
This has likely been mentioned and talked about before, but this; Conspiracy will not be released on Magic Online, but certain cards from the set will be made available in Vintage Masters. This intrigues me.
My biggest problem with MUD has never been chalice, that's been annoying but never backbreaking, what is is Trinisphere on turn 1, that's simply something I can't deal with.
So, i'm going to try this deck out at my store monthly proxy tournament, and i had a few question.
Has Mangara fallen completely out of favor?
Is Brimaz or Crusader a meta call?
I've been playing a my proxied version of this deck against a friends Mud deck, and that match up seems entirely based on who goes first. If he goes first he'll win about 100% of the time, and me I'll win about 60% or so. Is this to be expected, is it just one of those extremely unfavorable matchups?

Please Wizards, enough of these stupid cycles, it makes the game so much worse...
But thank you all for the replies.
