I liked all the tests you mentioned, it brought clarity to the state of MBS in the meta, but I would have liked to see the tests it failed.This is a world where nature's claim is maindecked and the still popular fish decks have STP, Pridemage, and Trygon (a perhaps rising strategy considering the printing of arbiter). Additionally, MBS has zero hope to race dredge, but then again only really DSC can. A pro and con list, rather than a pro list, that's all.
Also, Karn does beat up on myr tokens as they are 0cc artifacts.

I did not read the other parts of the article, just the CS bit since you were so stoked about the deck this weekend. As always, well written.

Karn does only affect noncreature artifacts. And what exactly is MBS?

@Phele,
Myr Battle Sphere.... Wink

@FFY,
Great to see another person advocating to keep survival around. The Vintage content was also quite nice.

I wanted to say I bit more. I personally love this kind of "grab-bag" article, with a ton of content on various different topics. Much more interesting than yet another tournament report. More of this kind of stuff in the future would be great.
