Howling warp

I'd love some advice. This deck seems to have only one real weakness against the decks I've tested against....{abrupt decay} on the card draw engines. Any thoughts? Anyone interested in testing their deck against mine in a wall game on the wall game thread?

{time stop}
{comandeer}
{mind break trap}

I'm not a big fan of any of them, but maybe those are good options. I could swamp out {walk the eons} for time stop easily with little drawback.

{redirect}? not really sure of other ways to deal with abrupt decay.

The flavor text on that card is FULL of sass!

{jace's erasure}
{font of mythos}

Font may be too expensive, but maybe a sideboard card against artifact removal decks, just to increase my howling mine count?  I could do the same thing with more {kami of the crescent moon}.

And jace's erasure doesn't really help any. If my draw engine gets up and running, I will mill them with {jace beleran} or sideboard in {labratory maniac} as a win condition. Jace's erasure doesn't help me get to card engine, and its weak to an opponent with eldrazi in their deck. It can't replace my other win enablers either (my eldrazi or labratory maniac) since I might run out of cards before them.

I like redirect though. A lot. It counters {coubterspells} and they will usually have something I can target with {abrupt decay}.

Pretty much everything jund has will die to their own abrupt decay

How does it counter counterspells?

SB {Font of Mythos} for some of your other low-CMC draw engines against people who run those

[Ieatfood7]

I cast {lanowar elf}. You play {coubterspell} targeting the elf. I play {redirect} and change the target of coubterspell to target redirect (a card can't target itself, but it can target cards above or below it on te stack...usually they only target below them, but this works). Resolve redirect. Then resolve the coubterspell which fizzles because its target is gone. Then resolve the elf.

[abstractApathist]

{Redirect} has to resolve to change {counterspell}'s target, though, right?

[Ieatfood7]

It does have to resolve. But it resolves first, so it resolves before the coubterspell can counter it. Then the coubterspell tries to counter redirect, but its target is gone so the coubterspell fizzles

Just googled it, and you're right.
