+1 Maze Glider
However, I'm sorry, we don't mainboard both Abomination and Glider. I'll be pretty disgusted if we actually have to play 18 lands AND cluestones.
The only question will be who is our "starter" and who is our "sixth man".

Or we run both... we could get away with 17 lands. Both cards are huge for our strat, we just have to trust Ian not to keep a hand with 2 or more of our 6+ mana creatures in it.
Maze is better in terms of deterring attacks and pushing through with unflinching on it... but if they have a lot of fliers, we need this guy too. Really we will have to take stock once we see what we have to work with.

If we win... it will be in the late game. Turn 10 or later I suspect. We have to build the deck accordingly.

I really hope we get those other Phantasms. We've seen all the cards we're going to see, right?
July 28, 2013 4:26 a.m.
Yes, I believe so. Maybe aid will rotate xD
I would love the phantasms. Really, I would. Didn't see any more deputy which sucks, Maybe that torturer is still there as well. That would be a decent pickup as well... I think we saw 2 early.

I'm not interested in Aid. We already have too many noncreature spells.
plus it costs 5...
July 28, 2013 8:51 a.m.
Easy vote Maze Glider . Yeah we have seen all the packs now for sure. I'm hoping a few cards make it back to us.

honestly even though it's a rare of ours, I don't think Blood Scrivener is going to ever be much more than his 2/1 body. We're not a deck that's ever going to empty it's hand.
July 28, 2013 5:11 p.m.
Tony, that's why I was against it in the first place. A 2/1 body early is still an early guy in this deck though. If it does come up, the ability will be super useful.

This is a card I didn't mention because I didn't think we'd actually see it.
10/10, would pick it again.
This actually has me thinking we might see that Pilfered Plans again from when we took the Krasis Incubation before.
July 29, 2013 3:25 a.m.
Didn't think we would see this one. Nice.
Sad we have to pass the gatekeeper... but we can't pass up on removal.
July 29, 2013 3:47 a.m.
The Warped Physique is more important at this point.
It could let us do an alpha strike at some point (i.e. pump the unblocked guy) on top of being removal. It's a solid card.
July 29, 2013 3:54 a.m.
Yeah cant believe that its still there, +1 Warped Physique
July 29, 2013 4:30 a.m.
We already have 2 Azorius Cluestone ... that we won't be using. Simic Cluestone but be nice incase we have to fix but even then, Phytoburst can at least be sideboard tech.
July 30, 2013 3:34 a.m.
Well slim pickings. It seems clear that red is not being drafted by many. Only real choice is the Phytoburst

We need bodies in the air. That's the long and short of it. It's expensive, but we will get there playing cluestones and around 18 lands.
