Thassa, God of the Sea will be giving EssTea all the scry he needs when she is dropped. And I'm pretty sure that Frost Walker is crucial for swinging big, early, since this is mostly an aggro deck.

aPickledKiwi thanks for the love haha!
Yes, Omenspeaker, very tough choice to be honest. I like both but prefer Frost Walker, it's more agressive and it's crazy when it connects turn 3 with Gudul Lurker or Hypnotic Siren.
Intuitively you might think Omenspeaker blocks better than Frost Walker, but that's not totally the case. Yes, Omenspeaker blocks weenies and tokens without dieing, but that's pretty much it. Turn 3-4 he stops blocking a lot of creatures from the meta : Seeker of the Way with untapped mana, Goblin Rabblemaster with a token, Rakshasa Deathdealer with untapped mana, Fleecemane Lion (who is now also present in G/W devotion).
The scry 2 is incredibly strong though, and even though he doesn't block Goblin Rabblemaster turn 4, at least he keeps the tokens in check! Seriously, tough call, I think it's a matter of personal preference. MUD is the deck I run when I'm tired of saying ''draw/go, Bile Blight'', I like the all-in aggro flavor to it, Frost Walker it is :D.

Hello I love this deck but I was thinking that you might want to consider adding mirror mockery 1 and a blue for a enchantment-aura that reads whenever enchanted creature attacks you may put a token that is a copy of that creature on to the battlefield, exile it at the end of combat. Now first off it gives you 1 devotion. more importantly put it on master of waves and now every turn you get more waves and buff ones that are attacking even if you don't have a master out this card is great. For example put it on shorecrasher for even more devotion in a pinch or for more combat tricks, also put it on ice fall regent for a 4/3 flyer and taping their biggest thing every turn these are just a few of the great interactions this card have. and a side note i would take out lurker for 3 of these Thanks and good luck.

I have discovered that silumgar sorcerer is very good in this deck. Also two 5 drop dragons in a deck with 24 lands seems dodgy. Either go to 25 land or cut the dragons or sideboard them. Mirror mockery is stupid since it makes you win more or prevents a dude form attacking you but it can still block, seems pretty bad. Don't listen to these people telling you to play it haha. Shorecrahser elemental is insane btw haha. Maybe you are running to many reactive cards, i think that the deck has to be all proactive or using half cards like silumgar sorcerer. I do like the profaner of the dead you have in the sideboard as an answer to tokens, that is very spicy my good sir. Good job

Encase in Ice mainboard was how I won. Reallistically, the only problem creatures are green and red. It is better than strike because it has flash. Also, how pumped is everybody else about promo Frost Walker?

Yes, going to Derpysquids point, Mirror Mockery on the Wave Master creates a new Wave Master every combat, even if he doesnt attack. So that just increases the amount of tokens you have, and during combat, if you attack with the tokens, they get an extra +1/+1

Mirror Mockery only give you the new token if the enchanted creature attacks. You must attack with master in order for the master token to hit the board, making all the elemental tokens 3/2 but if the real master is blocked and dies, then ALL the token will die at the end of turn when the master token gets exiled. They will all be 1/0 if the original master dies and the token is exiled.
You don't get the tokens unless you attack with enchanted creature

I catched place two with an Abzan aggro/counter deck, I was also surprised, because noone else thought of playing with counters and nearly everyone lose against me

Temur is cool, did you play temur aggro or temur with really fat creatures like atarka?

More aggro. Stormbreath and whisperwoods top out my curve. Flamewake Phoenix does work for me. Plus, Atarkas command is beastly

I have a question about how your deck would do against Mistcutter Hydra. Would you just drop that game, or what?
April 28, 2015 1:30 p.m.
Mistcutter Hydra does not see any standard play, but even if it did it would not be the worst situation to face ; I have 13 creatures that can go over it, I've got Thassa that can help the non-evasive creatures get over it, and I have Master of Waves that can go wide (go around it). In the end, a damage race would begin.
The worst cards to face are big fliers, the deck runs few removal and it happens frequently to not draw them. The problem with big fliers is that they shut down my own fliers and they're usually big enough to outrace me (Butcher of the Horde, Stormbreath Dragon, Dragonlord Ojutai, Thunderbreak Regent, etc.)

I'm starting to play a version of the deck that cuts down 2 Negate for 2 Silumgar Sorcerer also cutting Negate and 1 Disdainful Stroke for 2 Monastery Siege What do you think?

The deck loses to alot now, people realize that mono blue isnt a joke deck anymore so sideboards come packed with aggro hate that hurts blue really hard.

Have you seen the version of your deck that splashes green for collected company and kiora's follower? I thought it was pretty intriguing. Here's a link to it.

That U/G deck was AWESOME! I'm so happy that something so different, did so well :D

Hi There,
Firstly, this deck looks great and I plan on building it :)
Secondly, what are your thoughts on Omenspeaker? I think it may be better than Frost Walker as it smooths and your draws and blocks better but it isn't as aggressive.
+1 from me!
