11.9.11.

This is my take on Solar Flare. I've piloted some version of the deck each week since Innistrad's release. It has been a lot of fun, and despite the current meta, I've piloted SF to a winning record through the past 3 FNM's gauntlets of Mono B Infect, Wolf-Run, Haunted Humans, Township Tokens, Mage-Blade, Bant Pod, and some other home brews.

There are fewer SF builds floating around right now, with even fewer variances as the weeks continue and the meta-game is defined. A recent article on tgcplayer shows that Solar Flare has dipped below 10% of the current meta, behind Haunted Humans, UB Control, and (obviously) Wolf-Run which constitute 10%, 10%, and 12% respectively. These numbers will likely not come as a surprise if you've been seeing any tourney action lately.

Here's that article: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=10141

As it is, many players have separated their Liliana of the Veils and Sun Titans to sleeve up a more aggro-themed 60. But hey! This is a good thing, right? The more fractured the meta - the longer the spotlight is off of us, the better. Decks will start diluting their sideboards, and there will be less Flare hate! coughNihil Spellbombcough. Who says being the underdog doesn't have its benefits?

Anyway, without diluting my own decks description any longer, here it is. I'm all ears fellow Solar Flare pilots!
