Does anyone else think that the Blue Angels deck is more than just a metagame deck? It's pretty flexible if you need to mix things up a bit for a particular meta and has loads of answers for every deck out there.

Uw creature-based control is an archetype. Between Trinket Mage, Restoration Angel, Stoneforge Mystic, etc. the deck can be customized for various metagames and very effective in those metagames. Restoration Angel is one tool that probably is not ideal in the current online meta - I would rather be on the Trinket Mage package with main deck Grafdigger's Cage and EEs instead of Stoneforge Mystic right now.

"Is this a Vintage deck or a Cube deck?" "Is it sad that you have to ask?"

"Is that a draft deck?" "Why do people keep asking that?"

I have Premium now, so I was able to get much more context.

He was pretty upset after playing with the UW deck and probably still was when writing the afterward of the article. The quote, by itself, looks far worse but it's still pretty dismissive.

Leyline of the Sphinx? In fairness, you got revenge in yesterday's DE.

Watching Shawn Wheel of Fortune into Matt's Consecrated Sphinx tickled my special place.
