Yep, I didn't realize he ran {Anger of the Gods} in the mainboard.

I've tested logic knot main board instead of the last leak and am really lovin it, it's only worse than leak turn 2 and it just ends up not dead. I mean there is nothing worse turn 9 top decking a leak xD but knot is awesome and nobody plays around it. Has anyone tried izzet staticaster? Is it legit?

Staticaster is legit against {Empty the Warrens} and tokens, that's the main reason its there. It also was interesting against {Master of Waves} in the blue moon deck. All in all, its okay, but I think there are better options.

You would think so, but it is weird. Obviously it kills {Memnite}, {Signal Pest}, {Steel Overseer}, {Arbound Ravager} (but not really, they can just send all the counters to a land a beat you down), {Vault Skirge}, {Inkmoth Nexus} and {Blinkmoth Nexus}, but the card is too slow, usually won't get multiples, can't touch {Etched Champion} and {Welding Jar} can just ignore the her. Also, if they get an {Arbound Ravager} on the field, things get weird because it can transfer counters to save something. It's bad against {Steel Overseer} too, because usually he will come down sooner than {Izzet Staticaster} and be able to pump the team. Affinity is just too fast for {Izzet Staticaster} to really do much. That being said, if they mulligan a couple of times or don't get one of those crazy, "dump my hand and present lethal by turn three" draws, she can get some work in. All in all, I think Staticaster is really an iffy card against affinity. Also, against us they bring in {Spellskite}s which nullifies {Izzet Staticaster}
