I think you meant poTAHtoier 😉

I feel you. Next week will be meatier. And potatoier.

I don’t like Boros Charm as a Maindeck option. It does basically nothing against aggressive decks and I’d rather have blanks against control because losing game one to aggro tends to matter more, as sometimes you just get run over so you want your deck suited to beat them every game. Azorius Charm will likely be in my update for next week.

You will NEVER see me submit a decklist with buget considerations.

This was all very stream of conscious and the deck has changed a bit since I put it together. I have zero problem with the manabase and don’t see why you wouldn’t want all the duals. The big problem with decks like this before was they didn’t have that luxury.

I’ve been playing a good amount since I posted this and trying to aggro Dragon wasn’t really working out and Azorius Charm/ Sphinxes Revelation have been decided on in some capacity. This list was fairly rough and was just an update as I wrote. Next week we’ll get down to the nitty gritty.

As the tl;dr post stated, I’d like to see more meat & potatoes… this just comes off as a “oh crap, it’s deadline!” article.

You don’t need 26 in a deck without sphinx revelation (that i can only guess you didn’t want to play for budget issue. this card is awesome) Try Slayer’s Stronghold or Moorland Haunt. you defenitly don’t need 12 checkland / 12 shock. 8-9 check is enough. 10-11 shock should me enough. put basics and utility land for the remaning slots. (you need less azorious and more mountains with the actual list)

1 or 2 unsummon are cool in that type of deck. boros charm? azorious charm? Thoughscour? (the draw four discard 2 in izzet, thoughtflare or something)? try turn // burn, awesome when attacking with geist! you need a good selection of spell, (aka not 4-of) to maximize those snap in late game. So when you pay 3 or 4 with a snap late game, you can do almost anything.

Overall, nice deck but you need to test it. for the article in general, try to explain more options in your article, why you didn’t take one route or another is almost as important as explaining your cards choice… and at the beginning, you point out specific cards you don’t want to lose against and your deck don’t really address to those cards. you don’t answer angel, sire, groundseal and sphinx at all (you won’t really put a d-sphere on a groundseal really?). it’s a nice introduction, but you don’t follow up in the right direction IMO.

Good luck!
