Hi Jordan,
Right now it seems that tier 1 decks are 6 decks not so interactive (Humans, Tron, Burn, Hollow, KCI, Affinity) and 2 interactive (Jeskai control and Mardu): time to resleeve a 2-2 Reshaper-Endless One split?

In reply to Jordan Boisvert. Ok thanks. So you board it out against jund or Mardu?

In reply to Alec Wilson.

Copter gives our creatures pseudo-haste by allowing them to crew it the turn they come in. It’s awful against highly aggressive decks that force us to block each turn, like Burn and Zoo; there, we want to leave that new creature back to block anyway. It’s also bad post-board vs. one-drop removal decks (Push, Bolt, etc.) where we board out Chalice (i.e. Mardu, Jund), but tends to be pretty good game 1 against the field at large. It also helps us mulligan by improving hands without fast mana (i.e. T1 Dismember, T2 Copter, T3 Scourge).

Everything else I’ve written about the good Copter does in this deck still stands.

Hi Jordan
Bit confused as to the role of Copter here.
You say it’s a hedge against humans, and it’s good versus combo, and you’ve previously revised your position on it being good against attrition and tap out / removal decks like jund …
When is the card BAD then ? And how do you use it – your previous information on it seems quite out dated now. For me, the card has failed to impress in every non – jund matchup.
