Added {temporal mastery} to the deck. Think it should workout nicely

[Calebestes]

I think searing spear and syncopate are bad.  Maybe  {Mizzium Mortars} and  {Counterflux} instead?

[Mothaelon]

{searing spear} bad?

What? I don't understand...

[Wsuryanjeska]

Haha seriously, I mean it's no {lightning bolt}, but it isn't bad...

[Wsuryanjeska]

Bump!

[Wsuryanjeska]

Added {turn//burn} in place of {searing spear}. I like the spear, but being able to remove a {thragtusk} with no questions asked is too good to pass up. I'm mostly looking for sideboard suggestions against other midrange typed decks, any advice?

[abstractApathist]

It looks good except for one missing element: graveyard hate. I'd run at least three {Grafdigger's Cage} on the sideboard.

[Wsuryanjeska]

I would, but there is no reanimator in my meta atm :p

[abstractApathist]

I would, but there is no reanimator in my meta atm :p

Fair enough

[Calebestes]

It ran over my junk reanimator...with ease.

[Wsuryanjeska]

Bump! Any advice against the decks dominating the dragons maze standard environment? *cough*jund*cough*

[Mothaelon]

It looks like you fair well with turn/burn and counters/spot removal. You also have primal hunter in side, which when I saw, his token spawning was more beneficial than his card draw against Jund.

{Zealous Conscripts} used to be a thing against them, but I have been seeing less and less of that card. I suppose for its cmc, there are better cards  available.

[All-Mana Mania]

I dont like temporal mastery. Take those two out for 2 ral zareks. Then take out spears for mizzium mortars . I have an AWESOME rug control deck and ral and mortars are better than the two i told you to take out.

[Mothaelon]

Ral zarek wouldn't do anything for this deck, neither would mizzium. You need the instant speed removal. Also, temporal mastery is great. Sometimes you really need that extra turn to find your answer or close the game.
