so i figured i'd start a thread about tsp block, in preparation for the upcoming ptq's. so for those of you that can give insight into this format, please post.
obviously the pt yokohama top 8 decks will be in full force, with random future sight cards added in, various tweaks made to those decks, etc. so far i've tested Oiso's r/g control deck (me using it) against Wafo-Tapa's u/b control deck (friend using it) and i haven't been able to come up with a win (note, didn't play sideboarded games). since Wafo-Tapa's deck is the one that won the pt, i think it'd be safe to assume that that's the deck that will be most prominent in various ptq's.
questions that came into mind as i tested:
- what cards from FS will have an impact for and against the u/b deck?
i saw that delay was a pretty good card against the u/b mirror, where it was essentially a 2cc counter for other counters. but not good against an aggressive/mid-range deck.
while it is kind of expensive, quagnoth gives green an un-counterable/un-targetable beat stick. with it, damnation is basically their only out, or chump blocking it with urza tokens or whatnot.
- what cards from FS will help out the other proven decks in general?
- what deck has the highest chance of beating the u/b deck?
- Wafo-Tapa initially mentioned that he didn't like the triskelavus+academy ruins in his deck..would the deck have been more efficient without those cards?
well that's all i can think of for now..more will be added as more testing occurs :)
