I am sorry but this affi decklist does not seem competitive enough... For example {Master of Etherium} should not be there..

I am really sorry but I am a bit over-sensitive in matter of my beloved Affinity...;)

I can double check, but before, this was the list that was top 8ing.

This exact decklist???
Interesting 4 {glimmervoid}s to one island sounds like suicide plan to me...;) wonder in which kind of tournaments it Top8ed...

The point with glimmervoid is that in few matchups you loose them quite easily...;)

In my eyes you want to play 16 lands than 3 glimmers and 1 island if 17 than city of brass...

@ Taysby And I have checked last few major modern tournaments TOP8 decklists and most of them did not play master...;)

mtgo goldfish says that 70% of decks run him as a 2 of

70% decks can run him... But it does not prove that they are useful.. Most of TOP8 decks do not run them... That card is mostly out of tempo... You do not want to play him and mostly it gets stucked on hand.. You better utilise your nexus and platings...

I play Affi for quite a long time to be able to judge that...
