Four out of Eight in the t8 ran 4 standstill.
How long can we pretend this card is terrible? It's obviously strong.

The card is excellent in Fish, Fearies, Landstill.
Standstill is terrible in decks that do not run lotsa strips and manlands.

As I recall PTW spent a fair portion of game 3 in the semi's with only a cloud of fairies in play waiting for Mike to break his standstill with total brokenness in his hand. I could be totally remembering this wrong though.

It's pretty self explanatory. Fish is the most successful deck in the american metagame but people keep being blind to it.

Ancestral into Lotus/Walk/Yawg Will is good. But a follow up AK that get you a demonic tutor's even better. True story from me on MWS.

Gotcha. Okay, you have all the words, now put them in the right order! People need to at least account for Fish while building decks--it's just as relevant a matchup as control or combo. |
