Cette liste (Naya) c'est de la chie! (dixit Mr Wafo-tapa, retapé à ma sauce! ^^)

Go sur le site starcitygames il y a une video naya contrôle vs mono.black :)

C'est que en le voyant tourner on s'aperçoit que c'est vraiment nul....Mais comment il a gagné avec ça le mec?

c'est pour ça que j'ai pas trop parler sur ce topic, je comprends pas trop l'éfervescence sur cette liste qu'est quand même pas trés bonne quoi....

sur le papier ça au mieux l'air stupide de jouer 12 pochettes vides contre esper quand tu veux que le pack tend de plus en plus en représenter 40/50% du métagame sur les tournois..

The Matchups


Mono Blue Devotion

Game One is all about controlling them in the short term. You need to get a source of damage into play as quickly as possible, which makes it more important to kill things fast. Don't try to get a ton of value out of an Anger of the Gods. The longer you take to get a board presence, the closer they get to taking over the game with Jace, Architect of Thought. This planeswalker can take over a game very quickly if you do not have something to pressure it with.

Sideboard

-2 Advent of the Wurm
-2 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
-2 Assemble the Legions

+4 Miscutter Hydra
+2 Last Breath

It gets much easier to pressure them once you have access to Mistcutter Hydra. This creature allows you to have more time to kill all of their creatures since your source of pressure can end a game very quickly.

I like to hold onto my Selesnya Charms more often in sideboarded games due to Mistcutter Hydra. You should kill a Thassa, God of the Sea if one comes on shore, but the best way they can race is to block with Mutavaults in the late game. Simply giving the hydra trample is enough to screw up their combat math.

Mono Black Devotion

This matchup is all about patience. Assemble the Legion is an easy way to win a game, so giving yourself enough turns to draw it is important. I don't have a problem sitting back and killing every threat they play unless they have an Underworld Connections. That card sure can put a damper on the “kill all of the things” plan.

Naya does have enough ways to present pressure, so you can simply try to get a decent board position set up. One of the easiest sources of pressure is Xenegos, the Reveler. Every Mono Black Devotion opponent will invest an entire turn into playing Hero's Downfall on this planeswalker. This not only allows you to get in another attack with the Saytr token but also opens a window of opportunity to crack in for four with Stormbreath Dragon. Mono Black Devotion has a tough time holding the ground with creatures since our deck is packed full of efficient removal spells, so they will tend to invest their time into killing every creature you play. The boost in tempo you get from Xenegos, the Reveler might be enough to always be a creature ahead of their removal.

Sideboarding

-4 Loxodon Smiter
-1 Anger of the Gods

+2 Assemble the Legions
+1 Pithing Needle
+2 Wear // Tear

The games get much easier after sideboard (well, at least they did for me at the Invitational). You see, my plan at the Invitational was to be the control player in the matchup. My opponents did not get this memo and would almost always try to attrition me out. This really doesn't work when they are already sideboarding in a way that caters to my best interests without them even knowing it.

Every Mono Black Devotion opponent I played against last weekend boarded Lifebane Zombie in against me. It was as close to a blank as possible since my entire deck was lacking in the white and green creature department. Not a single card could be taken with this creature, but my opponent had already invested a spell into being aggressive. Sure, they could transition out without breaking a sweat, but there was a very good chance that they had at least one more creature in their hand. What are they going to do, not play it?

The Wear // Tears and Pithing Needle are here to help control Underworld Connections. If they don't have one active, they can't really win. You have a ton of Planeswalkers that they need to kill, but they each leave a small army in play, and you have more removal than they do creatures. What tends to happen when you don't have Assemble the Legions going is you have a token or two from a couple of dead Planeswalkers. This isn't the biggest issue since the couple of creatures in play can do a ton of work. They will oftentimes have to resort to blocking a Saytr with a Mutavault or even spend a removal spell on it.

Esper Control

This was the matchup I was most scared to play going into the event. The games after sideboard were fine, but Game One was almost always a loss due to the sixteen effectively-dead removal spells in the maindeck. Game One always came down to trying to be aggressive and hoping to stick something that could kill them.

-4 Mizzium Mortars
-4 Chained to the Rocks
-4 Anger of the Gods
-1 Selesnya Charm

+1 Pithing Needle
+4 Mistcutter Hydra
+2 Sunhome Guildmage
+2 Assemble the Legion
+2 Wear // Tear
+2 Ruric Thar, the Unbowed

The games get much easier after sideboarding. You have a decent amount of threats and you should treat them as such. The way to play the matchup is to just keep playing huge threats until your opponent runs out of answers or you run out of threats. Sequencing your threats is completely contextual to what has been going on. If Jace, Architect of Thought is a problem, you should try to kill it with Sunhome Guildmage or Pithing Needle. If your opponent has a ton of counterspells, you should lead with Advent of the Wurm into Ruric Thar, the Unbowed. It is far too complex of a matchup to go into any sort of detail except to say that we are always trying to be aggressive.

Green/Red Devotion

This is one of the more challenging matchups. Not because it is a bad matchup but because there is no room for error. They are a highly explosive deck that can come out of the gates with unbeatable draws. Do not get too greedy with Anger of the Gods. If they are presenting a two-for-one, absolutely take it.

This is another matchup where being proactive helps. Oftentimes there is no better play than a turn-three Loxodon Smiter. Not only does it survive Anger of the Gods, but it also attacks the planeswalkers after you cast it. Unsurprisingly, it is important to have some pressure on Domri Rade and Garruk, Caller of Beasts.

Sideboard

-2 Assemble the Legions
-1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion


+1 Pithing Needle
+2 Last Breath

I would strongly suggest changing one of the Wear // Tear to a Pithing Needle if this deck is popular in your area. I don't like boarding in two Pithing Needles in any other matchup since Wear // Tear can be much more powerful at dealing with multiple permanents and can answer a Detention Sphere. I just don't have any more room for another Pithing Needle unless it is an anti-Underworld Connections slot.

Those same rules still apply after sideboard except their deck is probably worse now. Sideboarding on their side is exactly what you want them to do. They have cards in their sideboard, but none of them help cast a Garruk, Caller of Beasts quicker. They want to be more resilient against you, but the fact of the matter is that the other 56 cards in their deck don't beat you. It is just the six-mana planeswalker.
