Incarnation is better than Djinn in cases where Djinn is the best deck, more popular than Incarnation, and Incarnation is equivalent to Djinn or insignificantly worse.
However, it ties with some of the decks that beat LLT, although I don't know how popular those will be.

STP is one of the few reasons LLT isn't unstoppable. Let's not badmouth it. Sure, I want to play Swamp/Will-o-the-Wisp/Unholy Power as much as the next guy, but STP is the good guy here.

That Personal Inc gets 3 points off Mahamoti by actually outracing on the play, rather than the 2 points Mahamoti gets versus itself.

Still not nearly enough to overcome the "gets completely shut down by Black Knight or Island Sanctuary" thing.


Red Elemental Blast IS a risk if everyone who's running LLF is going to be running Mahamoti and everyone know it. Especially since Red seems the hardest-up color for being able to deal with a fatty for one mana.


(edit) sorry for some redundancy, missed a page switch and some post that long preceded mine there.

Always devolves into deck talk :P...

Why does REB matter at all? Swords accomplishes the same goal, is usable against a wider segment of the meta, and lets you play the healthiest 1CMC threat...all while not exposing your mana base...Swords should be banned...

lol, no...no I really won't...there is literally two decks I think I beat, and I doubt either will show up.

Edit: Actually...I think it loses to everything...unless Swords is banned :P, then it has a chance!

Edit 2: Nah...I think it's best options are 2/2...maybe I won't play it. I won't...but here it is in all its filthy glory:

Black Lotus
Sedge Troll
Swamp

It makes me smile.

There are far better removal options. REB is worthless.
swords is crap tbh

LLF player spotted.

It does tie with some stuff though.

On a serious note...should Swords be banned?

no? Why would it? It's one of the few interesting components of the metagame.

This meta is such a crap-shoot of "How many people got to level 12 of preparation rather than level 11?"

I hope Lotus/Lotus/Fattie wins because everyone went too deep.


Again

lol...

Edit: To elaborate...there are several good removal options besides Swords that beats LLF...and are also not blanket awesomeness against every other deck (except that one :P )

Edit 2: Never mind...literally everything is a 2-2 this round :(. It really is RPS in action...
