![]() ![]() ![]() I decided to try out Brazen Borrower for the event, even though it was untested, and I committed to the full four copies in the main, dropping Dreadhorde Arcanist, Abrade, Vapor Snag, and Chain Lightning from the main. The rub was that my prior testing session showed that UR Delver is a dog to Depths decks. I was concerned about the performance of Jeskai Mentor and Miracles with Mystic Sanctuary, so I decided on Wednesday to run UR Delver. I did some testing leading up to the 3K, assuming I would play GW Depths, and it turned out that GW Depths couldn’t beat UW decks. Card Kingdom/Mox Boarding House 3K/4K (Bellevue, WA) - October 12, 2019 Mind Harness is more powerful, but it’s another card that requires mana investment. I think I’ll try Mind Harness and/or Submerge next time. RUG went back to Stifle because mana advantages are powerful in the mirror, then RUG adopted more Spell Snares to beat Tarmogoyf and Wrenn, and then the next level was adding copies of Hooting Mandrills because those dodge Spell Snare, and Submerge is mainly popular because it’s so good in the mirror. RUG has been evolving mainly due to mirror matches. I’m still figuring out that matchup, although it’s definitely not favorable. RUG is the epitome of mana efficiency, and my build has a lot of three-drops, (I consider Pyromancer to be a three-drop because I usually don’t want to cast it on Turn 2 unless I have a second copy or can defend it), so I’m disadvantaged in that matchup. The only matchup where it’s questionable is RUG Delver. I value it for its flexibility in being able to temporarily answer problematic permanents. Brazen Borrower is a strong addition to the deck. ![]()
