@Neoshinji, I have discussed the deck quite a bit with David Yoe. I saw him playing it in the same PE I split with Trolls, which was the second PE I made T8. I believe he took most of the base of my deck from my first T8. When I saw we were both playing the deck I chatted to him about it and we exchanged lists, which is when I decided to add some more blue to get Jace in the deck. I didn’t like the idea of running all the counterspells though that he had at the time because most of the other decks were still fairly aggro at that point.

@Zimbardo
Thanks, I wanted to do something different than just a card by card because I think it is valuable to see how and why those cards got included as well as why a certain direction was chosen. I think this helps people trying to build new decks more than just showing the final product.

The thing I like about this article is that it spells out the constraints you were looking at when you built the deck. The individual card considerations were also valuable, but I think your discussion in broad strokes about where a Scapeshift deck can go was really neat.

By the way, Meloku is a DUDE, dude.

Nice take on the deck. I have been playing a version of David Yoe’s Scapeshift deck for some time. Haven’t had any time to modify it at all.

But I really like the direction you are taking it. Looking forward to taking your version for a spin.
