Title: Deciding what deck to run
Post by: Codester1991 on May 27, 2015, 08:15:06 PM
Next month I have two events scheduled one in Austin, the other in San Antonio. Both are SCG invitational qualifiers I believe, anyways, my question to you guys is this. Do I run my wilted Abzan list, or my bloom Titan list? I am very strong with my wilt leaf list but feel as though it's on a hill downward in the meta, at the same time I'm sort of new to the bloom Titan list(been using it for a month now and reading up exponential amounts of primers) and I'm iffy about making a stupid play such as forgetting to pay my upkeep cost. If YOU were in my shoes, which list would you run? I have 2 weeks until the first event I believe June 13th

Dude just use the deck your most comfortable with. Slow down and take it turn by turn and you'll do awesome. Good Luck BTW.

I'm partial to abzan, but it really comes down to what you're more comfortable and confident playing.

It's really a tough decision but I'm leaning towards my Abzan list. I'd love to take my Titan list but I'm just horrible with luck and that deck has a lot of luck required when drawing the opening hand.

Play with what you have played the most and what you are most comfortable with. The thing about Modern is that it is very skill and knowledge based. Be intimately familar with your deck, know your match ups, and prepare accordingly.

As much as I refrain from the Abzan train you should bring the pain that'll drive your opponents insane!

But seriously you're more comfortable with that deck so rock it.

I got tired of wilted. So freaking simple and has such little interaction. Making abzan loam in its place

Yeah I dismantled wilted. A friend ran it at the event and did horribly, I ran bloom and did equally as bad but was simply bad draws. I threw together Abzan control and Merfolk so I need to decided what I'm running tomorrow for a SCG IQ :)
