![]() ![]() SB: +3 Balustrade Spy, +1 Phantasmagorian, +1 Chancellor of the Annex – 3 FoW, - 2 Whirlpool Rider I don't need the counters, Chancellor is amazing in this matchup. Game 1: He rushed me hard while I was looking for answers too late. ![]() I didn't have a counter, but a really explosive start with Probe and Street Wraith at the ready. I had a powered FoW, he had Daze and Rest in Peace T2. I can still outrun him, but I need those counters. SB: +1 Force of Will, +1 Disrupting Shoal, +1 Whirlpool Rider, -3 Chancellor of the Annex, The problem is I can't lose tempo too much due to his explosiveness, but Rest in Peace can fuck me over terribly. He could have won by casting Daze on Cabal Therapy, then Blast on his Daze generating enough tokens, but with him not finding his SB cards I could play it out pretty well. Game 1: He didn't get anything done, just played out my combo without the help of Street Wraith / Probe. Activate Phantasmagorian, discarding a dredger, keep priority, cycle Street Wraith, dredge, and on the second activation of Phantasmagorian, discard the dredger once more. Phantasmagorian in graveyard, Street Wraith in hand. One of the best tricks of this deck stays the following: There were some things that didn't pan out the way I wanted it too, but I'm actually pretty happy with my setup, even if it's not perfect. I'm strangely happy with the choice to go all-in with the Balustrade Spy sideboard. having that starting FoW can matter a TON against Death and Taxes, but close to nothing against Miracles (due to counter backup). When sideboarding and playing, try to weigh off the chances you'll be faster (going all-in Balustrade Spy style), and the chances your answers (within your first 7) are going to matter or not. The important thing to realize here is that this deck gets to "draw" for answers way quicker than other decks, it just comes at a vulnerability price. The results were okay, 4-1 and dropped out the first match in T8 against Death & Taxes. It was the last edition of the year's league so it was pretty packed. After a loong hiatus I played a tourney again. ![]()
