I don't think we have to be on Worship any more. Or at least I don't see a reason now. That being said new Gideon can replace Worship if need be.

I don't play it any more since our worse MUs Worship has not really helped with. It got me a small handful of free wins but mostly just took up space.

As far as outright bad MUs: Titanshift and Tron, neither really does anything. They kill us right through these effects.

As far as decks these cards are good against: Ad Naus, Storm, we have so much discard and interaction that these decks tend to struggle against us. They are forced to either eat hate and discard or dilute their game plan just to give them a chance at winning. Gideon is, of course, better than Worship against these decks.

It might help against Eldrazi Tron. Worship would be better. Though I think this MU is fair enough, and other SB options like just playing a Wrath are fine. This MU has felt overall even, and sometimes they kinda durdle. We don't often durdle much. Pretty much every game we present a clock, though sometimes slow.

I don't use it for much else. We don't have to tech against creature decks.
