Aye, I am the same Ashley. Is there really another one?  Wink

Anyway, thanks for the thanks.

Based on her report it looks like she was running a 2 color manabase, so Ray of Revelation is not really an option.

Chain of Vapor is vicious against Dragon because not only does it RFG all their permanents if they try to animate a Dragon, but it also Bounces a DSC/Sundering Titan which is frequently their backup win condition.

Bingo. Definitely a 2 color mana base, thus a maindeck Chain of Vapor was run. =)

Sure, I'm female. Make jokes about it. Enjoy yourself. Combo is most likely one of the most difficult decks to play, according to many many people. I taught myself. So whatever....

Anyway, I have a decklist somewhere, I'm slowly evolving it more towards pitchlong atm. TinkerDSC won a few of the matchups, mostly the dragon combos since they didn't seem to have an answer. Overall, the important matches were won with the Tendrils combo, I feel.
