It looks like you may have some trouble with the blink matchup. But otherwise looks pretty good

its funny you said blink matchup.. cause i only recall 1 deck blink deck.. blink riders? anyway at the PTQ @ San Diego i played blink riders and he got lucky, LoL one game he had 4 avalanche riders... what a joke Smile

and the last game was similar to his nutz hand - but honestly 4x avalanche riders 4x momentary blink is sooo (BAD).. two carded or what do you want to call it lucky? if that is my worst matchup .. ill take it!

White is a bad colour in block as for eversingle reason u would play U/w, U/b has much better options and better replacements. U/w was only used because of wrath and in block u got damnation so yea...

oh noes 1 extirpate...well 4 with teachings, but if my opponent wants to spend turn 4 geting extirpate and part of turn 5 playing it on a card that only improves U/W or UG/w's MU(especailly UGw) and isn't actually need to win? I think Ub is straight up better, regretablly

I was at the PTQ Costa Mesa, and saw that deck played. It was incredibly good, it lost to the blinking reanimator though, but don't be discouraged. I don't think the list needs changing, maybe more Logic Knots since that was the card that caught most folks off guard. Porphyry Nodes and Shimian Specter were the second out of nowhere aswell. Because Marshall lost to reanimator perhaps more Extirpate or more luck. Your call.

the deck is pretty good i think that another extirpate would be fine and maybe some other take possetion because it helps against UB and GW

rofl, sorry about that... i found out it was a GPT ... my friend misinformed me but it is block so ionno i might just go for kicks.. only $15 to waiste my time hmmm lol sounds fun Smile

yeah i know UB is infinitely better in almost every aspect but i don't think ya'll understand how much of a house Sacred Mesa is in the (Mirror) UB Control Matchup i play sacred mesa on turn 3 and UB will lose eventually... as long as i draw land it just gets easier.. also i agree with the Red Akroma Issue i only have 5 outs and its not really the best condition... 1 Slaughter Pact side and P.Nodes but in the animator matchup i can exitirpate .. ionno it seems bad i kno.. =p plus i'm only running 3 teachings LoL ya'll prolly didn't spot that .. i just feel mystical is clunky in this deck so i replaced 1 with careful consideration n e wayzzzz yeah ill prolly still go Smile
