The Critical Mass and 'Graft' decks are really the same thing. It's just the natural evolution of the deck to tweak it when a new set comes out. It just so happens that this set happens to have 3-4 cards which all now feature prominently in the deck.

I can do up a new primer for a critical mass thread in a week(after my last exam) if Kwai_Chang wants to link it

herbalT]U/G, W/U Skies, and that G/W/u neo-Glare (which i still refuse to call a Dovescape deck) all did pretty well at Regionals, all claiming at least a Top 2 or better.
i was the most surprised by the Skies deck, which i had built almost card-for-card right after Dissension pre-release. i played it a few times, then broke it down because i couldn't beat faster aggro. somebody made it work, though.
U/G is looking pretty strong, but there are so many different builds (Grafty, Critical Mass-style, control, etc....) that it seems it might be difficult to make a "Decks to Beat" thread around it. Lots of Simic in the Top 8's, nonetheless.
lastly, i am really surprised there isn't already a Glare thread. up until recently, it seems like most people just dismissed the deck as a has-been, but it is still very good. i like the new take on it, cuz i always thought a blue splash would be very good in the deck. Supply // Demand rules! just please don't call it a Dovescape deck!!!


I'm with ya, herbalT. However, I can't seem to get Official Archetype status, despite the fact that Glarescape (the very deck of which you speak) meets all the requirements. I'm just saying, it deserves a spot up on the "Decks to Beat" forum, because wrote:

B/W Control could use a thread here. It did well at regionals, better than U/R control which already has a thread here.

I'm still at a loss as to why critical mass doesn't have a thread here.

B/U/W control (no thread that I can see yet) seems like it belongs in the list, since it made up 3 of the top 8 decks (including being the first place deck), and 5 of the top standard decks at U.S. nationals, and it did beat a few of the archetypes that have threads here. (mainly URzatron and B/W aggro)

Yeah, Solar Flare or Japanimator or BWU Reanimator or BWU Control... all of this are just names for a big deck which is going really big online and winning tournaments while having some top 8 everytime.
It must have an archtype thread here..

I'm not sure if any of the WizO's even monitor this "Decks To Beat" forum anymore, but there absolutely has to be a thread for the B/U/W control deck as it just proved that it is THE deck to beat. I also think we need to get threads for Glarescape and for Sea Stompy as well.

the only undefeated deck in the standard portion was BW aggro with maindeck shining shoal and 8.5 tails (non husk) but i guess the guy performed really bad in the limited portion or something

B/U/W deserves a thread here obviously, and I think that nationals proved that old school glare was better than glarescape and that magnivore is a possible canidate to be removed from the decks to beat

Unsure about sea stompy right now.. only 1 good perfor wrote:
