In response to Black running Lifebane Zombie main I decided I needed to do something to improve the match up. Initially I determined running less green creatures in the match up to decrease the chances of Lifebane doubling as removal would be big. There were no red creatures that provided the power and utility that Arbor Colossus brings. White could provide me Assemble the Legion which is neigh unbeatable for MBD and Elspeth, Sun's Champion which is just an awesome card against many decks. She can wipe Desecration Demon out or lock them down with tokens. Bringing in 4 awesome and relevant PWs from the board stretches my opponents Hero's Downfall and Detention Spheres thin and provides me a serious card advantage. I came back to my Naya build and updated it for an IQ the following morning, turned out great. The white splash pretty much solved any issues Monsters was having with all the hate for it in the meta.

SCG IQ 5th — April 6, 2014

Edit

Made some quick changes after losing to B/W Midrange 2x the day before playing G/R. White came up big for me and tilted the match up back in my favor.

Rd 1 - White Auras - 2-1

Buddy from my home shop's deck. We playtested before the tourney with him smoking me in both games. I was pretty worried about the match up and starting the day 0-1. I ended up having great draws and made some timely plays to take it in 3.

Rd 2 - B/W Midrange - 2-1

Same guy I had suffered my only two losses yesterday too. Lost the first game in typical fashion. Post board Elspeth, Sun's Champion showed up to -3 2x Desecration Demons away game 2. Game 3 I resolved an Assemble the Legion alongside a Xenagos, the Reveler, 1 for 1 that shit black!

Rd 3 - R/W - 0-2

I got pummeled plain and simple. I couldn't draw a fast hand and he came out scorching. Toil / Trouble hit for 5 and 6 on turn 3 both games.

Rd 4 - Rakdos Conrol - 2-1

Grindy games but my splash for white paid off. He had tons of removal but lacked threats to take over the board.

Rd 5 - Esper Control - 2-0

I kept terrible slow hands and still got there. If you don't know by now Monsters obliterates U/W/x Control. My winning streak against control in competitive play is at 16 matches.

Quarter Finals - Mono-Blue Devotion - 0-2

My deck just pooped out and didn't give me any good hands or draws. He seemed like an experienced pilot and took advantage. Never saw any of my sideboard in game 2. Can't win them all.

Loved the white splash and so did everyone else. I'm going to give my land choices a serious look over this week and get it perfect for the next tourney. Two top 8's this weekend is nice but I really felt I could've taken one of them.
