I'd really see the "Steel City Vault" decklist, maybe someone could post it please ?

Honestly, I don't think that the Stax match-up is so negative...

Rermora has 5 basic islands that helps a lot to avoid mana problems due to our opponent's denial (waste + crucible for example...), 5 bouncers maindeck and ETW that helps a lot.
MOreover if we start with a remora, the Stax player will play more carefully and he'll be slower in the development of his own stategy.
Also Metitate helps a lot in this match-up, expecially against Monobowns that play smokestacks and tangle wires.

Fishlike or aggro decks, on the contrary, are really a big problem and an awful match-up...
But the side plan ( -4 remora +2 sower of temptation + 2 old man of the sea) maybe will help a little, or maybe is still weak ?
I'll test it soon !

In each case thanks for the replies !

With TFK restricted, Remora+Meditate is actually the last performing way to draw a huge quantity of cards, to control the game and to find a good finisher. I don't consider, actually, Intuition+AK a good draw plan cause with the unrestriction of crops and entomb maybe all the Vintage archetypes will have a lot of disruption against the grave that can hurt the "chain of the AKs" (Extiarpates and Tormod's for example).

So, let's discuss Remora deck !

Here I'll post the list I am actually testing and I'll explain my choices.

Maindeck:

5 fetchlands
5 islands
1 LoA
5 mox
1 lotus
1 crypt
1 sol ring
2 underground sea
2 volcanic island
1 tolarian academy
1 Inkwell Leviathan
1 mYstical
1 vampiric
1 demonic
2 commandeer
2 mis-d
4 FoW
4 drains
1 walk
1 yaw will
1 brainstorm
1 ancestral
1 tinker
4 mystic remora
4 repeal
4 meditate
1 time vault
1 vltaic key
1 ETW
1 Hurkyl's Recall

SIDEBOARD:
2 sower of temptations
2 old man of the sea
2 ingot chewer
2 energy flux
4 leyline of the void
2 pithing needle
1 meta slot

.

Mana :
5 fetchlands
5 islands
1 LoA
5 mox
1 lotus
1 crypt
1 sol ring
2 underground sea
2 volcanic island
1 tolarian academy


5 basic lands to have a very solid base, only 2 undeground and 2 volcanic cause red and black are only 2 splashes of a mono U deck.
LoA is simply God with remora and meditates, I cut petal cause is not good with mystic remora and mana vault for a personal choice, I simply don't like it !

Creatures:

1 Inkwell Leviathan

Leviathan is really strong against fishlike decks, I think it is the perfect target of tinker in this deck

Spells:

1 mYstical
1 vampiric
1 demonic  

I don't like ISeal in this deck, I prefer to play only with this 3 tutors.

2 commandeer
2 mis-d
4 FoW
4 drains

8 pitch counters are necessary, maybe even a configuration with 3 commandeer and 1 misdi it's possible, in each case I was very satisfied of this 2+2.

1 walk
1 yaw will
1 brainstorm
1 ancestral
1 tinker

I heard that they are good .

4 mystic remora
4 repeal
4 meditate

Our draw plan, 12 cards that represent the real core of this type of control deck.

1 time vault
1 vltaic key
1 ETW

Vault Key are a simply but really strong way to win, moreover, playing with 4 repeals, we can easily walk trough chalices or needles that "hates" our combo.
Etw in my opinios is better than TOA in this deck (it doesn't need 2 specific mana...).

1 Huryil's Recall

A bouncer maindeck, it's useful in g1 against artifatcs deck and it helps the storm count, not bad.



SIDEBOARD:

2 sower of temptations
2 old man of the sea

against fishlike or cretures decks


2 ingot chewer
2 energy flux

vs artifacts decks

4 leyline of the void

against grave.decks

2 pithing needle

against wastelands, bazaars, welders...

1 slot (another bouncer or whatever...)




Thanks for reading, now let's discuss about this deck !!
