Lol Taysby is always correct so why would anyone ever disagree with him ;)

I've never liked going below 4 O Stone it's just too valuable for me.

The reason for firespout is Zoo if your meta has no Nacatls or Kird Apes, then sure you could run return, but my personal meta has zoo being significant enough that I run spouts.

Also, I'd cut a grove for a ghost quarter. GR Tron is still a significant deck so having that edge in te mirror is nice. Also vs. Affinity having a GQ is huge especially in the main.

And Taysby is wrong lol 4 Ugin is sweet but not good lol way too clunky. Especially with how much hate is in the meta atm

Good luck with T3 Karning ppl trust me once you do that a few times you can't go back to "fair" magic.

I'm leaning toward Pro Player Joe Lossetts lists more than anything. He actually included 4 {lightning bolts} in his most recent list and 2 skites with only 2 wurmcoils. He seems to consistently top 8 big events without the returns or ghost quarters so I think I'll hold off on them for now, then if I feel the need to include them they're just ghost quarters so it's no biggie. Lol

My online list does include 1 ghost quarter with only 3 groves. The reasoning for this was budget lol buying the entire deck online and in paper at the same time was a good amount of cash so I had to cut one of the groves. Lol

Yah I think I agree with Mattao 4 Ugins are a bit clunky. If anything I may try 3 but not 4. Lol

The World Breaker sort of serves as a late game ghost quarter with a body, also takes care of stony silences, etc. without sacrificing momentum. I don't like how far ghost quarters set myself back. Never been a fan of them.

Nope no 1 of Emmy. IMO He's too expensive mana wise now even with this deck with the banning of eye. I rarely have a game last long enough to get to 15 mana. I either win by a landslide before then or lose quickly. Not to mention he's a dead draw for half the game most the time.

Without Eye, Emmy is unplayable (it hurts me to say that :'( )

Honestly I haven't run a 4th grove since Twin was in the meta! It really isn't needed at all. I have it so it's not a budget issue its just is rather have 2nd forest and a GQ

3 ugin is still a lot though he's not that good in every matchup and when he's bad he's bad.
