Description

17-10 MYTHIC LADDER BO1

So it may just be because the meta is majorly in flux right now, but this control deck feels pretty good.  The new Teferi really eliminates some of the disadvantage of the 80 card deck, you can make sure you hit your land drops or dig through a bunch of cards looking for answers.  Speaking of answers, the 3-of Eliminateimage and Heartless Actimage feel like they take care of most threats for just 1B.  I noticed that in certain matchups it's great to be able to just loot whichever one feels like it's going to just rot in your hand.  This ability allows us to maindecking a couple of The Elderspellimage as well.  It seems like everyone wants to play with Nissa and Ugin right now, so it's great to be able to nuke all of your opponent's walkers and speed up your own walker's ultimates.  Ugin is a great one-of that can just destroy an opponent's board.  At worst, you can discard him you draw too early, then threaten to pull it out of the yard with ECD with an extra counter.  The face damage is a nice way for these esper control decks to actually close out some games now without being able to cast some big creatures with an Ashiok ultimate. 

Mono-Green can be a bit too quick for us, the new Garruk's Harbingerimage is tough to deal with.   I find Extinction Eventimage to be a much more reliable sweeper lately than Shatter the Skyimage.  Exile is important against the current mono-red build, and now that Scavenging Oozeimage will be showing up in every green deck, keeping creatures out of the yard will be to our benefit.  Plus, you aren't giving aggro decks an extra draw to rebuild their board.

I'm sticking with the Omen of the Seaimage for now instead of Mazemind Tomeimage.  Maybe we should find a slot for the tome, as it really helps being able to scry for free with the Teferi Loot ability.  We want the 4 omen's with Yorion, though.  I'd also like to be able to fit a 3rd Yori in here, but not sure what to cut.  It's nice to be able to tick down your walkers and reset when you're in a pinch.

Not sure how this meta will work out.  There are a bunch of new toys in this set, and we have a huge cardbase to build from for the next few months.  I predict a bit of a rock-paper-scissors rotation where everyone plays rock or paper until someone top 8's with scissors.  Hopefully someone shakes out with a rock-solid list that looks a little different from everything else we've been doing!
