I was Phele's first opponent and we played a mirror. As this is going to become a usual matchup, i guess we should discuss approaches to mirror MUs. In my eyes, it's the mirror that makes Jitte a must in the sideboard, cause it easily removes Hierarchs and Selkies. On the other hand it's vulnerable to you opps Pridemages ... Befor exalted, a Goyf could be used to block the opponent's Goyf, but now it's different, 'cause you loose your Goyf to an attacking exalted one. In this case, Swords seems the best solution to me. So, my "opitmal" approach would look like: Get down Goyf, equipt it with Jitte and ride for the win! Use your counterspells only to protect Goyf and Jitte. If Goyf is equipped and Jitte has at least one counter you can also use it to block your opps Goyf. Don't use up Jitte counters too early, they might be helpful in removing an opp's Predator befor it can attack and destroy Jitte.
What about your solutions?
