[/deck]
I played a non B/x/x deck for the first time in months, it was weird
Also this deck is sweet, stole it from someone on the source
- Sideboard is meh, I never really wanted Tormod's Crypts (not enough graveyard based combo in my meta me thinks), and seemed too clunky, with the amount of cantrips in this deck, I feel like I could hit any number of 1-2 ofs almost at will, prolly gonna play this list as is for 1-2 more events before I fuck with it (-2 Wear/Tear +1 Crypt +1 disenchant, I for some reason do not have 4 wear/tear and apparently they are impossible to find, I had an extra card and couldn't figure out what it was until I checked the list after round 2...which was crypt, worked out that it put me at 15 cards exactly so w/e)
- Miracles isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Ascendancy is a 3 (meaning it dodges the counterbalance curve entirely), and faerie conclace and fatestitcher have to be hit with removal, so you can actually combo through counterbalance/top, plus Dig/Cruise are 8 cmc, meaning they will almost always resolve through CB/Top
- RUG is hard, I feel part of it is due to mistakes on my end, but the matchup seems hard, resolving ascendancy is stupid difficult preboard, Mongoose is a problem as you can't tap it down ever, thankfully not too many people are playing that deck anymore but there are a couple of people who do in my meta
Only have had the chance to play a handful of mu's to be honest but the deck seems alright though
