"Face Down Elves" Gameday advice
Standard Deck Help forum

My deck: Bant Morph Mastery. It earned the nickname "Face Down Elves" after out elfing an elf deck last standard night at my LGS.
It's proved to be very viable, and I'm having a ton of fun playing it. I'm trying to tweak it for Gameday origins. I swapped some cards in main and side, dropped a few sideboard cards I found I was never using, added more removal, added another white mana source, and added a 61st card in a 3rd copy of Mastery of the Unseen. One thing of note, I'm not running a single origin card in the deck. I'm looking for any suggestions you might have to improve my chances come Gameday. The existing synergy of the deck is really tight, I'm really looking for fine tuning options to make it stronger in the new Meta.

There's a lot of math which shows having one extra card does very, very little to meaningfully impact your deck's efficiency. 61 is fine.

I did the math out, the increase in seeing Mastery of the Unseen is worth the 61st card

End result: finished 8/14, went 1-1-1, enough for a Languish! I ended up having bad draws against Mono-red and lost in the top 8 cutoff to a deck running multiple flyers with 4 & 5 toughness. Thanks everyone for their help.

Go to 60 cards (cut 1). The more cards you have, the less efficient the deck.
