At the point that we’re seeing otherwise colorless Eldarzi Tron splashing Once off a single Forest, it’s time for Once to go.

I’ve been on Humans for a while now since it’s better positioned. Thalia and Meddling Mage are far better positioned than Mausoleum Wanderer and Spell Queller against the combo decks and it’s easier to play Magus of the Moon in Humans than Blood Moon in Spirits. That said, disruptive creature aggro is being underplayed across the board at the moment. The true combo decks are precariously built and relatively easy to disrupt. Meanwhile, Amulet is so dependent on Dryad that bounce effects can be devastating and it doesn’t run much interaction.

I’m desperately looking forward to the B&R announcement, as I fully expect some action on Once Upon a Time.

You mentioned that you were able to use Reflector Mage to keep an Auto at bay, are you still on U/W Spirits these days or have you moved on to Humans? How do you do you like fair creature based strategies like Fish, Spirits, and Humans in the current meta?

And as always, thanks for the insights.
