If mantis rider resolves, your only answer if wipe or ugin. Not sure how to shore that up, just thought I'd point that out

[griffin131]

Nuke a Hangarback to get blockers.
Not ideal, but it's an option.

[Mattao19]

If I get an active Spy Metwork it's fine. But tbh Jeskai isn't too popular anymore

[Mattao19]

Ya I like the D Lights I'll probably run them as a 2 of idk what I'll take out but I always liked D Light + Elspeth

[Mattao19]

Top 8ed!

Lost to .... {Mantis Rider} lmfao all I thought when he played it was I should've listened lol I did have 2 surge of righteousness SB but that wasn't enough

[lotrwk]

Oh how I love the mantis

[Mattao19]

lol 'twas fun bad prizing though

[the_intelligentleman]

Yeah your removal is all terrible to the mantis. Got to have something to beat that.

[Mattao19]

Other than that I feel like the deck is VERY well positioned. I mean Hangarback is OP as fvck

[Mattao19]

Changed the list a bit. Went:

-2 {Thopter Spy Network}
+2 {Narset Transcendent} due to {Dromokas Command} idk if I like the swap yet

-2 {Valorous Stance}
+2 {Devouring Light} bc of Hangarback and mantis

In the SB I cut the 1 Narset for a {Treasure Cruise} might become {AEtherspouts}

[Mattao19]

It's not in every deck but it's been seeing a lot of play recently in my meta. I never liked the change it was my friend who told me to do it (he plays more std than me) but I think I'll just go back to spy network. Also makes {Tomb of the Spirit Dragon} much better.

Thanks
