Hello,
I have two general questions about the latest W/U builds. Older W/U builds seemed to need to deal with opposing Moxen. Whether it was Kataki or Chalices, they were either in the main, or at least SB'ed. It doesn't seem so now. I was wondering if anyone has felt the need to deal with the opponents speed boost. If not, why not?
If W/U does need to deal with other moxen, I can see that Kataki and Null Rod would not be favourable due to W/U's own Moxen and AEther Vials.
While W/U/r is not news, I have been playing with the red splash to main deck 2-3 lavamancers (wizards), and SB 2-3 Gorilla's for this reason. While this may disrupt the mana-base, a mountain does not necessarily need to hit the board with the Vial. Lavamancers have given me a little more wiggle room with rogue decks, and irrespective of what's on the table, does give the 2 damage in the late game. The 2-3 Gorilla's serve an obvious purpose, and they perform quite well without disrupting you own wares.
A second question, is: "Is Mindsensor a 'win-more' card?" Since its cost is three, the opponent sometimes has found what they want already, or is simply using card draw. Otherwise, they are seemingly being held down by Patron and wizards. I have gauged my games for the possibility of substituting the Mindsensor's for the remaining Patron Wizards (2 for 2), but I cannot determine if it is any better or worse.
