If there's a lot of Stax (VERY hard to beat) i think having 2X art. mutation and 2X oxidize is important, and if there are a lot of welder versions going around (Vs Crusher or Uba) 2X Ground seal and 2X Tormods Crypt (which you already have, and is amazing vs. many other decks)

Mon has a really different and interesting way of playing the deck (compared to how most people I know play it). He basically holds out on the threats for the first few turns, and basically creates counter/card advantage. Has anyone else tried playing it this way? Has it worked for you? The MB has been molded to better fit the control role, -4 Street Wraith, -1 Lotus Petal, -1 Fetch, -1 Merchant Scroll, +2 Daze (He didn't like these) +2 Mana Drain for mid game, +2 Opt, +1 Echoing Truth. In principal I think this is really interesting, and a genius use of the gush advantage.

1) get counter-advantage on my opponent - I literally just stockpile any kind of disruption I can find
2) drop a Dryad without sacrificing defense (e.g. I usually don't drop Dryad before I can also keep Drain open or have Duressed already, even with FoW in hand). I cast pretty much everything I can before Dryad and usually Gush without having played the Dryad in my hand floating mana, hoping to draw into cantrips, Scrolls or Duress.
3) just make the fortress even stronger while Dryad grows incidentally
or alternatively step 2) changes when I draw into Will or Fastbond
2) combo out now and hope to find a Dryad/Tog in the middle of it

This is a really different and interesting way of playing the deck (compared to how most people I know play it) and obviously worked for you. Has anyone else tried playing it this way? Has it worked for you? I can see how your MB has been molded to better fit the control role, I'd definitely like to learn more about this. Grats on the great finish. What was the total # of players?

EDIT: Also, what would you remove for daze? What do you think of +1 Drain +1 Scroll?
