22 hours until I go into my first T1 tournament. (Local level, but still...)
I need some SB advice, here's what I'm looking at...
LAND: 26
13 Island
4 Volcanic Island
4 Underground Sea
4 Mishra's Factory
R Strip Mine
NO: 15
4 Mana Leak
4 Counterspell
4 Force of Will
3 Forbid
SUPPRESSION: 11
4 Fire and Ice
3 Capsize
2 Pyroclasm
2 Nevinyrral's Disk
DRAW: 5
2 Impulse
R Fact or Fiction
R Stroke of Genius
R Ancestral Recall
CREATURE: 2
2 Morphling
???: 1
R Wheel of Fortune
Okay, the Wheel is kinda odd, but I thought it might make for a Poor Man's Timetwister, and I could even deck with it if all hell broke loose.
Impulse is questionable too...I like its effect, but I wonder if one mana is worth Branstorming instead.
Anyway, my sideboard and maindeck considerations are thus...(btw, the ' by a number means that's all I have.)
X Blue Elemental Blast
1' Energy Flux - I expect a lot of Mirrodin, and have seen one artifact deck that drops a full fist turn one and swings double-digit turn two. If I can stall it long enough to get this out, maybe it'll feel a tingle, since it rarely has more than a couple lands out, and often artifact lands.
X Brainstorm - Swap for Impulse or no?
X Shattering Pulse - Better than Energy Flux, assuming I have a Volc.
X Red Elemental Blast - Is it worth running in a mirror?
X Annul - Another way to hate Artifacts.
3' Ophidian - I hear they're cute.
1 Forbid - Would I ever want a fourth?
1 Capsize - Ditto.
R Mystical Tutor - Tutoring is fun, but I don't think I like the card disadvantage...
R Time Spiral - It does stuff.
1' Evacuation - I expect critters.
X Flood - Perhaps hordes of them.
R Demonic Tutor - Perhaps this cat should be maindeck...
1' Perish - Green is mean.
X Hibernation - I don't like Elves that get big.
X Wash Out - Not color specific, but 3U is a pretty penny, and it's Sorcery, too.
R Yawgmoth's Will - It does stuff.
1' Isochron Scepter - It also does stuff.
1' Oblivion Stone - I have no Powder Kegs, so perhaps a gimpy 3'rd Disk?
1' Chalice of the Void - People seem to think it's neat.
1' Urza's Bauble - The problem is if it's dark I can trip over it.
1' Flooded Strand - Summons a dual and thins.
2' Maze of Ith - Another nugget of suppression?
2' Psychatog - A way to use spent counterspells if I don't go with Will?
Anyway, I probably overlooked something good and obvious, but whatever. Comment away for my greater glory.
