I don't know if I am just being a little over the top with this but, splashing white for a Erase in sb for Keranos, God of Storms?

JakeKita that's a good suggestion but keranos isn't a card that people specifically play to win games with I mean it may be a win condition but it's not something that I am that concerned about

I'm curious as to the reasoning behind Dispel over Swan Song. it seems like you have about a million answers to the 2/2 and swan song straight up counters more things...?

Also have you considered Twisted Image in the sb? It kills spellskite dead and draws a card (as well as some weird corner cases) and everyone will board into spellskite to beat you.

I don't actually play twin tho so this might just be very wrong.

There are answers to Rending Volley. Mizzium Skin for one.

That is true, I have actually played with mizzium skin in the deck before but took it out in place of other cards since they were better

aggresively named

Infinitecombowins yes it is XD

As an avid twin player there are certain adaptations that I lile to make for MY competitive events.

Grim Lavamancer has been underwhelming, It is only reliably relevant against Affinty and Burn, Two matchups where I have found it to be underwhelming and game one against these decks can be rough regardless. I haven't tested a lot with the card so I can be convinced otherwise.

Tectonic Edge, I like the card, But it doesn't really improve your matchup against anything, 2 Desolate Lighthouse has just been better in most cases for me, It disrupts Tron but this matchup is a breeze regardless. It kills manlands which can be difficult to deal with but your opponent has to really far ahead to be in a position to invest mana into a threat which is vulnerable to being tapped by an exarch regardless. If your behind, Lughthouse would be better regardless.

Thought Scour also seems like it could be replaced as there isn't any delve mechanics that you are playing. Convince me!

Some 'tech' for the lack of a better word I have been playing with...

Anticipate, Im keen to hear other Twin players thoughts on the following by the way im by no means telling you to play them.

Anyway, Anticipate...I feel like the deck is weak on 2 drops, 4 Remand are good but if you don't have one its a huge tempo loss not having a tapout worthy two drop. It also provides some card selection which COULD be super handy. Preliminary testing but I feel it is better than some other options im the deck.

Gigadrowse, Not gonna explain want to hear your thoughts before I type out mine.

bijschjdbcd I keep grim lavamancer in my deck because it can destroy an pesky creatures, help me burn my opponent out in slow match ups, and it can weaken tarmogoyfs, thought scour can mill me closer to my combo and give fuel to my lavamancer and my snapcaster mages, tectonic edge just helps me overall, I usually never even get the chance of using desolate lighhouse's ability.

How does the lone Dispel work for you? Seems like a second Spell Snare would be better as there are a lot of problematic 2 CC spells for this deck. Dispel seems better SB.

Flame Slash at sorcery speed is a bit at odds with your deck which is a flash/instant deck apart from the powerful Serum Visions which you kind of have to accept. An extra Cryptic Command could be better, or a Vapor Snag to deal with big creatures that hit the board.

SB: I suggest going for 3 Blood Moon. You can then plan and play for it, a lower count is a bit too random. Read this http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/blood-moon/

Batterskull - not suited here and we need space for cards to hose red - to follow

Jace, Architect of Thought a bit out of place, as mentioned Jace does mess with white weenie and Sligh but something like Dragon's Claw is best suited to at least deal with Burn and sligh if not white weenie.

Otherwise looks strong!

Just made some recent tweaks, I will hopefully be going to FNM soon now that paintball is wrapping up and I'll have more access to money.

Yo, I noticed you're having some trouble against Abzan and I was wondering how you're sideboarding? I had a lot of trouble against Abzan too, and I was on the traditional "side into a pure control deck, no combo" plan.

After a long time playing the deck, I changed my boarding strategy and my games went from about 30-70 (their favor) to 50-50 or better. My advice: don't side out the combo.. at least not all of it. Keep in Deceivers and 2 Twins, and side in B-Moon, Skite, Keranos, etc. Play a combo/control split-evenly game plan (since they merge well together anyways) and the Abzan deck can't handle both sides of the deck. Either they die to B-Moon, the combo and tempo, or they play into your control plan. All of your cards (even Skite) plays into all three plans, so you get a lot of mileage out of it.

Side out Cryptics (too late-game to use, every threat resolves under it), Pestermites + Cliques (Lingering Souls anyone?), Dispels (obvious), and 2 Bolts if you need more slots (because they don't kill anything -- leave 2 in for Snapcasters).

Yeah that's kind of what I do TheAnnihilator but I'll side out my combo completely. Want to try and suppress my opponent and hope that I'll just be able to somehow manage to kill him with Keranos and burn/ fliers if possible, Abzan was always a good deck against splinter twin and is why it is one of the best decks in modern

Well the reason that I don't love the plan of siding into a control deck is that Abzan beats control too! I play control religiously, Esper right now, and I've never gotten better than 50-50 against BGx (with control, not Twin). Even if I 2-0 every other matchup (seriously, I have only lost to Abzan/Jund and a single game of mana-screw vs. Griselbrand), BGx beats up on blue.

Twin's control plan against BGx used to be a good choice, since it used to be a rogue deck -- noone knew the plan, so BGx would keep in a bunch of removal for the combo and have worthless cards in the deck. Then, Twin's T1, and everyone knows. Abzan still "respects" the combo, but treats post-board Twin basically like a control deck. Thus, overload on control, combo, answers, and threats to win the grind. Works a lot better in my experience.
