Mono Blues Devotion Weakness?

[whitedrake]

Hehe that was my way... Better to play mirror than think about way how to beat it...

[rarehuntertay]

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

[Gorzo]

Maybe {B}{R} removal/aggro? {spike jester}, {thoughtseize}, {hero's downfall}, {doom blade}, and {pithing needle} type deck.

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

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

{Izzet Staticaster} for tokens

{Homing Lightning} 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.

[DirtyMustachio]

but skylashers got dat flash

[whitedrake]

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..

[DirtyMustachio]

still wouldn't {ratchet bomb} be the cheapest wreck face card that could go in every deck?

nom nom nom elemental tokens nom nom

[whitedrake]

Imagine DM I play it in the sideboard of MUD myself... 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

[whitedrake]

Tbh the bident scares me most

And there is a reason why it should...

Anyway no deck is perfect... MUD has its weaknesses... Black is its biggest weakness I guess...

[rarehuntertay]

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...
