Deck Description

Another take on stax after a spanish friend of mine in a mirror won handidly against my gw stax
really like the changes
made some sideboard changes for the countertop/esper matchup as well as the stax mirror (looking at you my spanish friend)
want to try a new win con with assemble the legion if they planeswalker hate me out.
Trying a new version with no basics and city of brass. They are not actually in the sideboard.

online match record:
3-3 against sneak and show
2-1 against UW miracles
2-0 against Tendrils Storm
2-1 against Team America
1-2 against Merfolk
2-0 against Punishing Maverick

How to Play

So far I have seen a few trends
1. This deck really needs you to understand how it works. If you cant identify that your hand is keepable as well as what you NEED to sideboard in and out you will fail.
2. A good start is damn near a free win. A start that doesnt get out any control t1 is something you maybe can work with however getting to the point of not being able to interact by t2 is a death sentance. Be careful with what you take and assume that your always facing a bad matchup.
3. Do not panic, your armageddon is a gun you cant just shrug off without the right tools. If you HAVE to geddon make sure you can recoup from it.
4. Hate aether vile, that thing is evil.

Example hands I would and would not keep.
Hand 1.
Sorin, Karakas, Wasteland, 2 sylvan library, chalice of the void, swamp.
This hand looks keepable at first, but then you realize you have no green source and two dead cards in hand. Your essentially at 5 on this one. Mull and hope for better.
After Mull.
Ancient Tomb, Mox Diamond, Plains, Sylvan Library, Magus of the Taburnacle, Mishra's Factory.
This hand is actually pretty keepable, on turn one without having to use ancient tomb you can get out a sylvan library. The mox either forces a force of will or something or they run the risk of incredibly strong plays turn 1 and 2. Against things like belcher I would be more and more worried until I can get a sphere out.
