These are the changes:
-Chromatic Sphere, 1 Duress, Laboratory Maniac
+3 Daze
Sideboard
-1 Abrupt Decay
+Laboratory Maniac
So, I tried Daze today. Let me explain!
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about Daze in ANT.
A Japanese player was in the Top 8 of a big event, and he played Daze.
Daze seems bad in Storm, right?
LED and counterspells together seems very bad.
However, you don’t use Daze to protect Tutor.
Daze is to prevent problem permanents.
You counter Thalia, Counterbalance, Chalice of the Void.
Storm is too fast for opponents to wait for extra mana!
Do you get Dazed, or do you die on turn 3?
To test Daze, I removed the Laboratory Maniac plan.
I felt scared, but Daze should be good against the decks I use Maniac for.
...But just in case, he’s in the sideboard.
I removed Abrupt Decay because I use Daze against the same spells.
So, let me talk about the games!
Round 1 - Elves
Game 1, he wins the die roll.
I keep Flooded Strand, Volcanic Island, Swamp, Sensei’s Divining Top, Ponder, Cabal Therapy, Daze.
My opponent leads with Nettle Sentinel.
I Cabal Therapy and name Natural Order.
He has no good cards, and I combo on turn 3.
Daze did nothing.
(W)
No sideboard change
Game 2, I keep Polluted Delta, Misty Rainforest, Underground Sea, Sensei’s Divining Top, Gitaxian Probe, Cabal Therapy, Duress.
My opponent leads with Pendelhaven, Wirewood Symbiote.
I cast Duress. He has Gaea’s Cradle, Forest, Glimpse of Nature, Heritage Druid, Elvish Visionary. I discard Glimpse.
His next turn, he uses Pendelhaven to attack for 2 damage, then plays a Heritage Druid.
He should have played Elvish Visionary!
I Cabal Therapy to discard Visionary.
He can’t draw extra cards, he is too slow.
I combo a few turns later.
(W)
Round 2 - 4C Delver
Game 1, I win the die roll.
I know my opponent usually plays Delver, so I mulligan.
My seven card hand was Volcanic Island, Gitaxian Probe, Brainstorm, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Rain of Filth, Duress.
I keep Volcanic Island, Brainstorm, Brainstorm, Brainstorm, Gitaxian Probe, Daze. I scry Ponder on top.
My opponent mulligans to five.
I cast all my Dazes this game.
I Dazed turn 1 Delver, a Daze that targeted my Brainstorm, and I Dazed my own Brainstorm to return Volcanic Island to my hand when it was targeted by Wasteland.
I made many mistakes this game.
I was missing one mana when I tried to combo.
I cast Rain of Filth, and needed to pay extra mana for Dazes.
I didn’t plan well, so I threw away my Rain of Filth.
My opponent found Sylvan Library, and lost a lot of life.
When I planned to cast Burning Wish for Tendrils, he had Snapcaster Mage for a Spell Pierce I forgot about.
I can never beat this opponent!
Every time he mulligans to five, I still die.
(L)
-1 Gitaxian Probe
+Cruel Bargain
Game 2, I keep Underground Sea, Underground Sea, Island, Dark Ritual, Burning Wish, Daze, Daze.
I Daze Turn 1 Delver.
I also Daze a Brainstorm.
I committed to Empty the Warrens too early.
As a result, I lost to 2 Deathrite Shaman and a Delver of Secrets.
(L)
So far, Daze was good.
Round 3 - ANT (下克上さん）
My opponent is a new ANT player, but I have a terrible time playing against ANT...
Game 1, I win the die roll.
I keep Polluted Delta, Sensei’s Divining Top, Gitaxian Probe, Ponder, Brainstorm, Duress, Burning Wish.
I cast Duress on Turn 1.
I see Scalding Tarn, Underground Sea, LED, LED, Duress, Tendrils of Agony, Dark Petition.
I take LED, but I don’t know if I was correct.
I spend my other cards to find more discard.
Sadly, I lose because I don’t have Maniac in my deck.
I can’t cast Doomsday and pass the turn...
And my opponent can avoid Daze easily.
(L)
-1 Gitaxian Probe, 1 Ponder
+Laboratory Maniac, Cruel Bargain
Game 2, my opponent mulligans.
I keep Lotus Petal, Sensei’s Divining Top, Ponder, Brainstorm, Cabal Therapy, Dark Ritual, Daze.
This hand is risky.
I cast Lotus Petal, Ponder.
I see Swamp, Doomsday, Dark Ritual.
I draw Swamp, cast Dark Ritual, cast Cabal Therapy. I name LED.
My opponent has Polluted Delta, Gitaxian Probe, Preordain, Cabal Therapy, Cabal Therapy, Dark Petition.
Then, I cast Top and activate it.
I don’t find an Island for a long time, so I lose.
Maybe I should not have kept this hand...
Or maybe, I should have shuffled with Ponder?
(L)
Round 3 - Dark Depths
Game 1, I win the die roll.
I keep Flooded Strand, Flooded Strand, LED, Cabal Therapy, Duress, Burning Wish, Doomsday.
I cast Duress.
He has Cavern of Souls, Dark Depths, Swamp, Deathrite Shaman, Dark Confidant, Hymn to Tourach, Living Wish.
I take Hymn to Tourach.
He casts Deathrite.
I cast Cabal Therapy, and I take Living Wish.
He casts Vampire Hexmage, then plays Dark Depths, and makes Marit Lage...on his mainphase?
...I cast Burning Wish, get Void Snare, and bounce Marit Lage.
I should have died here but my opponent is inexperienced.
Next turn, my opponent plays Dark Confidant.
I have LED and Doomsday in my hand, so I can win with "Doomsday, pass."
However, Burning Wish needed red mana so I don’t have three black mana.
...Wait! I have a Daze.
I tap my two Underground Sea for black mana.
I cast LED, and I Daze it, returning an Underground Sea.
I pay for Daze with Volcanic Island.
I play Underground Sea, make black mana, and cast Doomsday.
With LED, I am able to make a Double Doomsday pile.
My opponent has no plays, so I win on my next turn.
Daze making black mana was very important here!
I missed Laboratory Maniac; I almost died to Double Doomsday with Deathrite Shaman and Dark Confidant in play.
(W)
-1 Gitaxian Probe
+Laboratory Maniac
Game 2, I keep Flooded Strand, Flooded Strand, Volcanic Island, Sensei’s Divining Top, Cabal Therapy, Duress. Brainstorm.
My opponent casts Pithing Needle, naming LED. (!!!)
I draw Dark Ritual, cast Top.
My opponent casts Thoughtseize, and takes Duress (!!!)
I draw Burning Wish, and cast it for Doomsday.
My opponent casts Dark Confidant on his turn.
I win next turn, after asking my opponent to read his Pithing Needle (Sorry).
(W)
Round 5 - UR Delver
Game 1, He wins the die roll.
I keep Polluted Delta, Volcanic Island, LED, Brainstorm, Brainstorm, Rain of Filth, Doomsday.
My opponent has no plays until turn 3, so I have time to play lands.
Finally, he casts Stormchaser Mage.
He casts Gitaxian Probe. I cast Brainstorm to hide Daze.
He casts Lightning Bolt for Prowess. Tapped out.
My turn, I cast Duress. He casts Force of Will.
I Daze. Duress resolves, I am safe.
I combo, and win.
(W)
-1 Gitaxian Probe
+Cruel Bargain
Game 2, I keep Polluted Delta, Swamp, LED, Gitaxian Probe, Ponder, Duress, Doomsday.
My opponent is land-screwed this game.
I know he has Surgical Extraction, so I look for a Cabal Therapy to discard it.
He wastes his Surgical Extraction on Cabal Therapy.
I Duress him, he casts Brainstorm, I Daze.
Basically...I Delver-killed a Delver player.
(W)
I ended 3-2, and missed Top 4.
In this one tournament, I used Daze in many ways.
I didn’t play any match I wanted Daze for, but I...
Saved lands from Wasteland
Made black mana
Killed Delver of Secrets
Protected Discard
Honestly, I thought Daze would be bad.
Now, I don’t know if I should keep playing it!
There are SO many Grand Prix Trials in Aomori and Iwate.
I will be very busy for the next two months!
...I really want those byes.
I want to play Day 2 of Grand Prix Chiba!
As usual, I played Doomsday.
Again, I tried something different.
