Well, I've been playing Gay U/R fish for a couple of months now, at local tournaments. The deck has done well but it could be better vs aggro and dragon. My meta includes some power players with keeper and combo decks, but also features an abundance of old outdated decks (oath being the worst of these for fish). To make the stronger against aggro and dragon (and oath too, I guess) I’ve decided to playtest a u/w version. The loss of red is hard on the deck, but I don’t feel fish can support three colors, and the gain has been enormous in playtesting. Here is the deck I’m working on in preperation for the tournament (I don’t own mox pearl or timewalk
, so they are not included):
1 Stripmine
3 Wasteland
1 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
4 Tundra
3 Island
4 Faerie Conclave
4 Mishra's Factory
1 Mox Sapphire
4 Curiosity
2 Daze
1 Misdirection
2 Stifle
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Voidmage Prodigy
4 Spiketail Hatchling
4 Meddling Mage
4 Cloud of Faeries
4 Force of Will
4 Standstill
1 Ancestral Recall
The Swords really helps the dragon and aggro matchups while meddling mage is a great card if it comes at the right time in the game (it can also be sacked to voidmage if needed). Any advise on playtesting the deck and on what to try in the sideboard?
