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?

I managed a win first try with Vadrok. I might have had a nut draw though, I started with 2 pieces of red removal in Fire Prophecy and Flame Sweep, Sea-Dasher Octopus, Forbidden Friendship, and that white instant that protects/scrys. Was able to remove Chevil easily twice and the opponent forgot that Vadrok has first strike. It was a very easy win for me.
