Went 3-2 last night at FNM but only because I was running 23 lands instead of 25 and had no solid finishers but now with the addition of ulamog I feel as though it's going to be strong!

My question to you guys is, what's a better counter spell. {spell shrivel} or {Calculated Dismissal}?

[LinkCelestrial]

{Spell Shrivel}. You're not likely to get spell mastery consistently between {Dig Through Time} and your semi-low numbers so it's not worth.

I got you. What about clash of wills?

I also may drop Ulamog and throw in Ojutai
