This RB version is a joint effort with mtgo user Burntvictory. We decided that the combo-control route is more reliable than the all-in T1/T2 combo variants that were tested. The deck can sometimes get free wins off of T2 Crusher of Faultgrinder vs many common decks in the metagame. Worst matchup is probably burn, but most non-edict decks are at least slightly favorable matchups. Recently I tuned the removal suite (making it slower in the process) to be more well-rounded so that there are no dead removal spells v MBC g1. I'm still fairly sure the manabase can be improved in my version. This is version 2.0 for me (the initial version had lightning bolts and more red removal/ no mainboard duress and some green value reanimation targets). * One of the swamps in the deck is actually a mortuary mire (so 8 Swamp, 1 Mortuary Mire), but the deck editor here is not updated to the most recent set apparently.
