Company decks are running seven mana dorks and most of them that I’ve seen do actually have multiple forests. They also run cards like Qasali Pridgemage and Reclamation Sage (+ ways to tutor them). Blood Moon is pretty bad against them. Way too high variance.

That’s not what this deck wants to be doing.

At the time I played this deck, almost everybody was on Abzan Midrange, which had something like a 12.5% metagame share. The matchup was practically a bye. Company decks were pretty new, and optimal lists (or even ones that won big tournaments) had yet to be developed.

For the deck itself, I somewhy think Gitaxian Probe could be an option if you want to thin deck as much as possible and scroll through it just for some stray two life.

Midrange usually having 4 basics, same number of fetches, and ten ways to stop it. Company running 1 less basic and usually having 0-1 ways to stop Moon is pretty serious.

Correct! As you’ll see next week, I come to rely on Abrupt Decay to solve this issue.

I’ve tried Twin with dorks as well, but also found that deck really wanted Goyfs. Can you share a link to the list?

Same premise though of powering out bloodmoon via mana dork – it just tried to use lootings to put together a twin combo and suited dorks up with swords to make them relevant.

Tried that build, but it was so bad against URx decks it wasn’t funny. Bolts, forked bolts, and electrolyzes make mincemeat of mana dorks trying to wear swords, and they would fetch basic island and then laugh off the blood moon.

Goyf+huntmaster seem like a better plan after t2 moon, and I do like utopia sprawl+looting asa way to feed the goyf and have unboltable t2 moons!
