Site blocking is a real pain. :mad: I'm at work and our software won't allow me to go to that site.
I'll have to wait til I get home.
Unless some kind hearted person would like to do a copy/paste for me :)

Ah, I see so the sideboard is really the key.
I was sorta close. :)

I wonder why Waterfront Bouncer over Temperal
Adept (UUU activation ?), don't you want to keep a
maximum hand size for when you cast Spontaneous
Generation?

And why 4 Sleight of Hand over Opt? Wouldn't the
instant speed of Opt be better?

Also seems like Washout should be in the sideboard
Over Alexi maybe?

And why not 4 Stinging Barrier instead of 2 Mawcor 2 Barriers

Lots of questions.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:


I know the choices are correct since this is finally tuned pro deck, but I'm not sure why.

Good questions.

Bouncer is much less mana intensive than Adept,
it is inefficent to use adept to bounce creatures under Orb,
whereas Bouncer + Orb almost stalls a creature deck.

Sleight is just a little more powerful than Opt
and with no other one mana plays you normally
have a spare Island to use it.

Alexi and Mawcor can untap under Juntu Stakes,
having 2 of two creatures is better against Selection
than 4 of one.
Alexi is better than Wash Out because it can bounce things many
times, it is a creature for Opposition and against some decks
having a 3/3 is very useful.

All about the 5 mana Hill Giants maybe a 3rd Mawcor would be OK.
