Cerebral Assassin VS Dragon

[gza424242]

What to do What to do? Playing in a local tournament in about a week and just cant make up my mind which one to go with. Dragon i like cause of quick kill but has a couple of problematic matchups as well as draws arent really good 60% of the time. I am running with Ambassador Laquatus instead of verdant force and eternal witness. Is this a good move or bad one in your opinion.

Have tried cerebral assassin variant out and thought it was ok but was getting pretty consistent draws and favorable matchups. Lot of stax still being played around here as well as some control slaver and oath. Recently though tendrils is making a comback and starting to see some cooky welder builds what do you all think i should do im 50 50 right now on both decks.  

thanks for the help.

If you can make Cerebral Assassin, go with it over dragon.  It's just more consistent, but Dragon will "break itself" more so if you think you can make it into Top8 with dragon you should run dragon.

I'd suggest you go with Cerebral Assassin, but w/ a board with the dragon combo. I've seen at least one tournament report which had a deck like that and it seemed to work well. It can be a real shock to your opponent in game 2 when you combo out.

instiqma: But what is the point of having worldgorger in your sideboard? Does it improve any of atchups really well? When should I decide to side in dragon when playing CA?

I'd go with Dragon. It has a much better match up against combo. And unlike CA, Dragon can go off in response to hate.
