I should've been more clear. You're not the best. CGB's not the best.

Because I'm the best.


I thought Unbeatable was the best; his name is Unbeatable after all. Image

I really like control-based Tutelage as well and you could prove people wrong by showing them how consistent it is.

With that said, your bant tempo is scary on curve and you obviously love it. Play bant tempo.

Here is how I look at it.

Tutelage I think is too hit or miss. I haven't played this season much, so I may be off, but I think that agro will eat it up. Also, I expect a lot of Snakes, and I think most of those decks will pack Sages, possibly even w/ Grapple.

Red Esper I think the mana base will be too shakey. I am probably going to go w/ Grixis and even at 3 colors sometimes I am too slow vs some agro. I would hate to add a 4th color.

Bant Tempo is a possibility. Bant was one I was thinking about, but my version was bad vs Snakes, and I expect lots of snakes. You are a better Bant player, and have a better decklist, so I could see you pulling it off. Especially if you have solved Snakes.

Cars is just good. Many will be playing it, but I expect your play skill to trump theirs in a mirror. Just a lot of power in that deck.

So.....I would say Cars first with Bant a close second. I would probably choose Bant to be different then the meta.

I have a feeling that Vehicles will get counter decked, similar to how Copy Cat got counter decked by vehicles at the pro tour.

@Megabeast
Copy cat wasn't even a good deck to begin with.

@Wintervoid
I am very impressed with the way my Mardu has been curving out. I feel like it nearly mimics the PT deck in power. The mana needs a bit of a touch up but besides from that...a solid option!

My Bant Tempo has problem with Snakes and Vehicles but it's my favorite deck. Probably over played. Tutelage wants another "draw 3" effect and Esper-R is also solid. I placed a vote in the poll for Esper-R mind you.

I voted bant because I was trying different versions over and over and not sure where to land so I want to see yours in action, though I am partial to Mill and would love to another mill deck in the competition(s).

My Bant does okay vs Vehicles. 3 Sages + Displacer can do wonders....but it is draw dependent. Snakes though...not running permanent removal really hurts me vs that archetype. So much so that I thought about running Deadeye Harpooner......but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

It's hard to counter deck Vehicles, at least to a point where you'd be totally comfortable with the matchup, because of the sheer speed of the deck. Sometimes you'll have the tools but won't be able to deploy them fast enough. Vehicles will always have game even in the matchups it's a dog, which is not something most decks can claim.

I voted Vehicles, but try to have a good plan for the mirror.

Personally think you should go with the build you <3 <3 <3

You've already done well in previous tourneys, so it's not like you have anything new to gain playing a try-hard RW/RB/RWB build. Going with your heart should make for more enjoyable games, while also increasing community respect levels if you do well.

Just my :two:

I hope the choice was "Did not participate, poll completely meaningless" just because I appreciate a good troll job

I took Barneys advice and went with Tutelage. Mainly because Unbeatable & Divinevert are here!

Obliviously people want me to play a creature based deck. This means a good amount of control particularly Esper & Grixis. Tutelage goes underneath those and I've got early removal against aggro to buy time!

You've lost your damn mind kid. Vehicles and that pseudo haste is gonna eat you for lunch, then all the mid range and control decks are gonna nuke your Tutes with their hate cards intended for vehicles. Enjoy your 1-4.

omfg, are you serious Gem?? I only picked Tutelage cuz that deck WRECKS my deck choice so I thought you would purposely not listen to me figuring I was just telling you to pick the worst one. I was using reverse-psychology and it totally back-fired in my face!!

Great choice! I'm in big trouble in our match-up, lol
