Planning on taking this to the PTQ in Dallas soon. Need lots of help. I have no idea how I'd fair against Jeskai tempo. Is there a qualifier for the PTQ? I need lots o' help please! Thank you!

[MuggyWuggy]

Seeing the new overall meta: 4 ashiok's all the way. I'm seeing nothing ht azban and jeskai and ashiok destroys em both.
I recently added jace to my build, few more days of testing before GP

[JordanCirk]

If you want a good match up with jeskai and abzan, which I can see the mets becoming full of, I'd drop the 3 brain maggots for 3 more prognostic Sphinx. Sphinx is amazing at blocking a mantis rider and is super hard to kill for jeskai, it's also good at blocking wingmate rocks out of abzan. And when you need to finish the game, scrying three ain't bad either. Idk what you would replace but dig through time should be a 3-4 of. It's just too good

[Mattao19]

I'm not a fan of maggots I'd prefer despise or a full set of Tseizes

[DylanW18]

4 Ashioks? Hmm.... I mean, it wouldn't be the worst. But I'd prefer 3, so they don't clutter my hand


Also I'm not sure about 3-4 Dig through time. I mean, seeing multiple in my opening hand is kinda bad, IMHO. I could for sure be wrong though, happy to hear a counter argument. I could probably cut a Liliana. I'd still want 1 though for fixing my late game draw. I could see the maggots coming out for Ashioks. But maggot is so good, and underrated. A T1 Thoughtseize into a t2 Maggot is pretty detrimental

Except that a 1/1 won't last long and it'll eventually die giving them the card back. That's why I like Despise/TSeize

[DylanW18]

Yeah I have been considering Despise. Also moving up 1 Thoughtseize possibly.


What if it was

-3 Maggot
-1 Liliana

+1 Thoughtseize
+3 Ashiok


Then maybe some Prognostic in my SB?

[MacheteMable]

I would find a way to fit in bile blight. Considering that there is very few good black removal you are going to need that.

[MuggyWuggy]

If nissa is win con: indestructible land?

[DylanW18]

Agreed on the concept, but running the citadel is too risky in 3 color, even as a one of. Plus I've found that 4/4 rarely gets destroyed, even against control decks. If it does, Nissa just 2 for oned their removal, which is amazing.


I was curious about my choice of 2 Negates and 2 Disdainful stroke in my sb. Should it be 2-2? Or 3-1/1-3 or 4-0? I'm not sure how that should work out

[MuggyWuggy]

2/2 is nice IMO
Swan song is fun aldo

Bump

[Mattao19]

Maybe -1 Lili +1 Thoughtseize

The value of the 4th Thoughtseize is great and I realize that it's BUG Walkers but you don't HAVE TO have all the bug walkers lol idk just a minor thought
