LOL.  That's why I put it as an option.

But if you REALLY are curious - say so.  There is a prize at stake!

Control Slaver

edit: if we're allowed multiple guesses,

1. Control Slaver
2. Doomsday.dec
3. Artificer's Intuition.dec, Mike Long style

Yeah, I think that is right. Control Slaver with updated tech to deal with those pesky spirits.

[EDIT: I realized, that there might be something besides mindslaver in the deck like a titan, but I still call that "slaver."]

Mean deck Slaver, aka shop slaver

Doomsday is newly released so people will want to try that. Also, combo is a good metagame choice in general and eventually Americans have to realize combo is underplayed. A ton of money is a good way to force people to realize things.

Mean deck Slaver has got main deck chalices and the option of SB 3sphere which will give combo fits. It also has force of will so it’s got game even when playing first against combo.

The welders will keep 5/3 in check as well as oath decks that use the big man.
It’s at a disadvantage to control slaver I think, but maybe more main deck trisks can fix that.

The slaver itself is just generally a powerful card against all sorts of things (and can be very nasty v stax).

I figure you guys found something better than gilded lotus and maybe improved the draw engine some.

I think Andy has a good analysis. Control Slaver, tweaked to beat Oath, is the most likely option. (You'll probably add Intuition and rename it Meandeck Something).

Of course, if I went, I'd run Control Slaver. Obviously.

Dammit, Matt, you got there first Sad Yeah, I was gonna say Affinity, although maybe not your list... Wink

But then, following JP logic on being ahead of the meta by two steps, I could venture a guess you guys will play 4CC. However, my vote went to new rogue deck, so I'll stick with my prediction of something rogue with Clamps, maybe Servitors, that kind of thing.

I say Meandeck plays Something prison. The only way to really hate oath is combo, and if the meta is "hate" and oath, I think prison will be the perfect deck to take. My choice? Probably something with workshops, trinispheres and chalices.

Probably a deck that has been around for a while, with a one card modification (which might or might not break the format)... and call it Meandeck something... Razz

I am just being stupid. Very Happy

Meandeck will finally come to their senses and bust out 4 CoW Landstill. The deck, "Meanstill" (due to the introduction of Brainstorms over the vastly inferior Standstills), will go on to place 9 Meandeckers in the top 8, achieving an unprecedented record and prompting immediate discussions over the need to emergency-restrict CoW.
