  2. Love this deck so much. Very cool and very effective. I question the first instance of boarding against the Woo deck though; seems like you got it right the second time.

    Nice matches, indeed.

  4. Against the woo deck, I do think I messed up but it seems like almost winnable with my sideboard. I’ve but in Jace, Memory adepts which should help a lot.

  6. I think you might have messed up the end of game 3 in the match against the woo deck. When you instant speed sphere’d his omniscience you should have thought through how he was winning the game. That deck really only has two options.
    1. He plays door and then before he gets to untap with it you could flash into play your sphere and take the door.
    2. He plays thragtusk and then worldfire in which case you get a blowout of playing angel and then flashing into play the sphere on angel. That way after the worldfire you are left with a 3/4 angel to his 3/3 beast. You had exactly 10 lands so this play was possible even if he went off that turn.

    Both of these options still leave you in trouble because of the Wolf Run, but I still feel they would have been more correct.

  7. Thank you for your comments, and that does sound like a way better plan. I was just focused on getting the Omniscience off the table when it reality it was doing much because he could all ready cast all of his spells. The only way it would have been better to take the Omniscience was if he played Griselbrand that turn and went off that way.

  8. I feel that you should play with Alchemist Refuge more. In game 3 round 1 you could have used the refuge to flash Trostani into play and avoided his second Supreme Verdict.

  9. Pretty cool deck, I’ve actually played against a few like it during Friday night magics and they are always a pain when using fast aggro, because even when u almost kill the opponent they play a Trostani and Thragtusk and regain all the life they’d lost. Good games, that five color deck was interesting as well

  10. Also, I think negate in your sideboard could have helped u a lot more than dispel, because it would have stopped not only revelations but the door and the omniscience too, not to mention any planeswalkers
