10. Countryside Crusher - Terravore sees some play every so often in Devestating Dreams based Loam decks. I can see this guy becoming another win condition based off the massive land destruction that Dreams can provide you. 9. Earwig Squad - Goblin decks need some disruption to fight off the combo decks in the format. Since this can hit the same turn that Blood Moon can, there would be a fight for disruption cards. However this can be back breaking against Ideal combo and Dredge when you remove key parts of their combo. 8. Grimoire Thief - I see this as a tool for Merfolk decks that have started to pop up in the format. I'm not sure the fish sticks are going to be a force, but this guy can help them out. 7. Idyllic Tutor - Ideal would like this card. It allows you to tutor up a back up plan, which would enable you to stall for enough time to fully combo off. 6. Mind Spring - Heartbeat combo does not see enough play in my mind, and this could be a one of in a Gifts pile. 5. Cream of the Crop - I've said a lot of glowing things about this card, I think it could possibly fit into a version of Dirty Kitty. 4. Negate - It's just another counterspell, nothing really great, but gives you another card that players must play around and think about when they are trying to resolve spells. 3. Scapeshift - Tooth and Nail decks are playing the tron, or Cloudpost. On turn four you can play this get your Tron set completed, or get a ton of Cloudposts. This spell allows you to open slots that would otherwise have been devoted to Sylvan Scrying and Reap and Sow. I like the option of getting the tron set and Boseiju, so you can play the name sake sorcery underneath some protection. Of course, you'll need some signets to actually get the colored mana, but that goes without saying! 2. Mumuring Bosk - Doran decks are going to play the crap out of this. It opens a lot of color fixing options. 1. Mutavault - Every deck that has room to play this new Factory is going to play it. It may be the most influential card on deck design to come into any format since Tarmogoyf. I'm very high on this card. |

Sure. I meant the specifics of the deck becoming more combo-ish rather than the specific card's effect. Most Spore Cry players play the deck like an aggro deck even when they play versus control, and I think this is the incorrect strategy considering the number of instant-speed threats the deck has access to relative to the number of answers the control deck can present.
Changing the deck to include an alternate win strategy and gameplan should force players of the deck to consider the non-aggro approach more thoughtfully rather than just dropping all their spells out there at sorcery speed to get countered like fish in a barrel.
Good article, shame some of the analysis seems a wee bit off... Distant Melody - ....... This threatens to be very dangerous to MUTC.
Urm Why? its a 4 mana sorcery against a deck that gasp plays counters, if the games hit the extent where your revolving a 4 mana sorcery against such a deck then you were probably in a damn good situation anyway.
P.S the grammar in places needs cleaning up. Khiareq is another well respected PDC'er had this to say sentences like that just appear sloppy.
Sorry Gloin, that is exactly what I was referring to. The content, aside from its opinionated and therefore fundimentally flawed nature of course, is good, but the editing and formatting was unintentionally neglected due to a lack of understanding about what I was providing. Again, sorry for the roughness, hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience for everyone.
sorry about the double post came up as an error, care to expand upon any of your reasonings, in particular i'm intrigued by why you think Distant Melodies will be so devestating against MUTC?
I thought you did a really good job explaining why you thought these cards were going to played FutExt
Oh wow, I had no clue that you were going to display my opinions so prominantly. I had figured you would have just used the information to suppliment your own views. I sincerely apologize to all of your readers for the lack of detail and refinement in my portion of the article.
No, seriously, I am REALLY sorry for the way this looks. You have my reassurance that I will not make such a mistake again.
Great knowledge, do anyone mind merely reference back to it best juice for skin whitening
