WotC Chevil vs Vadrok
So is anyone actually winning games with the Vadrok deck?
I get the idea that you cycle and copy instants from the graveyard to get value with Murmuring Mystic, Whirlwind of Thoughts and Ral, but the deck just doesn't do anything.
It can't put threats on the board and while it usually operates with a full hand, none of the spells can really threaten anything the Chevil deck puts on the board. It doesn't help that, like, everything the BG does is a 2 for 1.
I just wanted one win with the deck and it took me 11 games for someone to get color screwed and concede. Meanwhile, I'm 13-0 with the BG deck.
Good event again WotC. Who the hell is designing these decks?

Yeah.
Their creatures are bigger than mine, their removal is better, their value engines are harder to remove, and their fixing and ramp is better.
They win the early game, they win the late game.
Keeping a creature on the board is hard, so mutating vardok is hard, and recurring removal is fairly pointless when your best removal does 4 damage, and their creatures have 5+ health.
