No problem.
Blue devotion is gonna be tough... Just imagine when RTR Block rotates. I wonder how high {Thassa} will climb?!

Well nobody knows the future cards but she may drop like they lose:
{Nightveil Spector}
{Cloudfin Raptor}
{Frostburn Weird}
{Tidebinder Mage}
And those cards are what makes that deck
{Cyclonic rift} just beats devotion.
It, like all creature aggro decks, lose to sweeps. {Supreme Verdict} is amazing. Also, {Cyclonic Rift} can do some wonders, though it only buys you a turn or 2
Mono Blue weakness? Lolz, Mono Blue has all the answers ;)

For master of waves. {illness in the ranks}
I'm feelin that.
And yeah I'd love for Rakdos to be the answer :( i can take solace in everyone's efforts to counter it though
Question: is it a good idea to forecast blue devotion countering decks and come up with an answer for THAT? Lol
(Mistcutter hydra) beats anything blue, only problem is if there smart and side board (ratchet bombs) your screwed lol
{Rakdos Charm} (mode 3)
{Golgari Charm} (mode 1)?
{Skylasher}
{Riot Control}? Lol
{Electrickery}?
Selesnya with enchantment destruction and populate and fog effects
In standard is best answer black and green combination... or jund...;)
Hero's Downfall, Doom Blade, Abrupt Decay,, Vraska the Unseen, Thoughtseize... it was my hardest match-up...:)
Best way? Just join the club... If you can't beat em, join em...
Hehe that was my way...:D Better to play mirror than think about way how to beat it...:D

I ran blue devotion in draft last Friday and did ok, went 2/1 so it isn't to bad
Draft and standard constructed are different beasts...
{Gaze of granite}
{Golgari charm}
Blue green could work to

Pretty close to what my standard deck is. It runs well against mono blue devotion. Master of waves? Fine, I'll blast it with one of my 24 kill spells. Even if it's protected somehow, an overloaded {Mizzium Mortars} solves the problem (and kills practically anything else mono blue devotion runs).
{Izzet Staticaster} for tokens

Pro red saves him from mizzium
Doesn't save the tokens ;)
{Skylasher} might be helpful as well. I'm still shocked that Skylasher doesn't see play.
but skylashers got dat flash
I can see {skylasher} more useful in few situations against mono blue devotion than Hydra... Not because of the power but because the flash... And it stops flyers in the deck... Of course hydra is great but still I think there are better ways how to successfuly face MBD..;)
still wouldn't {ratchet bomb} be the cheapest wreck face card that could go in every deck?
nom nom nom elemental tokens nom nom
Imagine DM I play it in the sideboard of MUD myself...:D bcs of the mirror...;) believe me those tokens are not only one thing what is so good about this deck...;)
I love how people are concerned about those tokens... Of course huge advantage but I mostly kill by Thassa not by tokens because everyone is trying to solve Master and his tokens...;)
Tbh the bident scares me most

And there is a reason why it should...:D
Anyway no deck is perfect... MUD has its weaknesses... Black is its biggest weakness I guess...;)
If {Master of Waves} is ailing you, do this:
1) play {Skullcrack}
2) play either {Anger of the Gods} or overloaded {Electrickery}
3) master will die
Reasoning? Skullcrack stops the damage prevention part of "protection from red" for that turn...

How sure of this are you? Bc Protection says cannot be dealt damage. It doesn't prevent it, it just can't happen. That's how I read it.
But I'm not sure so I just want to make sure

He is correct, skullcrack hits the player but debilitated all damage prevention that turn. Including damage that would have been prevented due to protection from damage source.
Legit combo!
Ok sweet! Just wanted to check
