10,305This article is all about my love of blue. For the second part of CtRT I evaluate a large chunk of the counters in pauper, including a new Worldwake inclusion that seems to have slipped under people's radars. To continue the blue trend I'll show another creation of mine, UWsteel. To wrap things up I briefly discuss the current metagame, update my Dead Dog list, and give the answer to the latest "You Make the Play."

Did I manage to make up for my early mistakes and achieve a skilled performance, or did the play mistakes just keep coming?

And, as a bonus, I'll also evaluate the other Nonbasic Lands at your disposal and speculate on their place post-Zendikar.
