Thanks for (nearly) all the kind feedback on my thoughts.

It's true that i only have a meta game perspective of my home town (whitch happens to be MaQi's too)
but that's what this threat is all about, right? collecting diffrent player's oppinions from all countrys and citys to see if anything sticks out everywhere at the same time.
So i gave my 2 cents.

I would love to hear MaQi's oppinion on our current UR build

[30 most played]

I'm feeling a bit like in Eldrazi-Winter at the moment... Play UR Mirror or loose!
Since some players in Mannheim have updated their UR-lists this is the most powerful deck in the format.
Even the proud inventor of 4c Blood plays it (even though he hates the deck) because it is too strong!
I have tried for at least a month to bring any builds that could stand a chance against it and the best result i could come up with was about 50/50 with a bant-tempo deck fully teched against UR.
Fact is: this deck has NO bad matchups. at worst 50/50 whitch leads towards a meta where everyone is playing U/X control and midrange will vanish completely.
The list of the 30 most played cards at the "The One" highlander tournament had only 5 non-blue cards on it which is also a strong sign that blue is currently much too strong!



BAN ? Y/N
Demonic Tutor - N- Combo is not dominating so remain on watchlist
Fastbond - N- Combo is not dominating so remain on watchlist
Mana Drain - y - the strongest blue card atm wich can turn around a game very easyly by providing too much tempo for the control player
Mishra's Workshop - N- Combo is not dominating so remain on watchlist
Mystical Tutor - N - has mostly 2 targets: mana drain and Tresure Cruise those are the random game winners. not the tutor
Oath of Druids - N - hasn't seen much play in the last time anyway
Tainted Pact - N - it should remain on the watchlist but atm blood is not the deck crushing the meta so no need for ban right now
Timetwister - N- Combo is not dominating so remain on watchlist
Tolarian Academy - N- Combo is not dominating so remain on watchlist
Yawgmoth's Will - N- Combo is not dominating so remain on watchlist

Treasure Cruise and Mana Drain are too Strong in the current Meta, leading to dominating 2colored nonbasic-hate decks, smothering any cool 3+colour builds people might come up with by denying those decks to "play Magic", making the meta very one-sided, boring and frustrating.

Unban Y/N
Gifts Ungiven - N - a better Dig through time which costs only 4 without delve. above that it feeds the strongest decks in the current meta
Stoneforge Mystic - N - allthough it could give midrange a boost the games would become one sided and swingy like with Natural Order
