Kowal How many Decrees/Tundra's did you play in the mirror match vs mono

Gilded Drake is horrible for this kind of build. You're only vulnerable for a short amount of time, during that time only small creatures (aka goblin welder/grim lavamancer) could get through, that is why old man of the sea is better. 7/10's and the big boys you would just counter.

Impulse is alot better than TFK because you get to choose 1 out of 4 cards, the most useful one at the time.

TFK allows you to draw 3, and most likely you will be discarding 2.

Early game you need moxes/chalice/keg, so discarding an artifcat is unlikely.

Not to mention TFK costs 1 more mana to use (mono-u needs to have a better mana curve than this).

Has anyone tried this slight tweak, it seems that lotus petal would help you with that extra 2 mana on the first turn (aka mana drain/impulse).

having 5 mox
1 lotus
1 lotus petal

= 7 cards which means you have a very good chance of drawing an extra mana source in ur opening hand.

Wait, say your hand is something like

2x chalice/island/fetchland/force of will/mana leak/b2b

if u chalice for 0 then you can't play ANYMORE chalices for the whole game?

I was looking over some mono-blue decklists post-gen con and see that every runs impulse. Do you think that is really the best option?

AK and brainstorm seem on-par, and in some cases better than Impulse. My question is, why play impulse over these 2 cards?


Also the slot of sol ring in mono-u. This could be replaced by lotus petal to give you 7 fast mana cards- giving you a very good chance of being able to drain, impulse during your opponents turn.

Any thoughts?

Also how did u do at GenCon. I read your post and saw that you cut Chalice from the Final Version.

So you cut Chalice of the void in the final deck?


If you did why do u keep refering to it, (aka chalice stops swords and red elemental blasts which keep ophidian safe).

Did you find FTK's useful?

My 4CC doesn't run them but i've considered it. Do you think you could  put up a decklist/sideboard list just for comparison purposes  :lol:


But seriously, good job at the tournament. Top 8 is definately an accomplishment.

What would u take out/put in if you had to do it all over?

Wow that's a really nice deck, congrats on the baby girl too.

Just a quick question, I was adding up the cards in your main deck and it came to 59. What was the 60th card?
