Thanks Splinter. I will have to give the GQs in the board a try. I like rain of tears as it flat out kills lands, and slows my opponent down a turn. Granted the GQ is probably better in the Tron matchup, I think rain helps more in other common match ups.

Hello Faerie Friend,Solid list. Here is mine:http://www.mtgvault.com/vendetta26/decks/faeriely-controlly/I understand your reasoning behind the ancestral visions vs discard. I feel having a turn 1 play is very important. I run visions because I can generally drop it later with a V Clique if I need to. However T1 Ancestral Visions in to a T2 Bitterblossom is so much value that most decks cant beat. As far as late game goes, I think both the discard and ancestral visions are bad top decks, visions probably only slightly worse. However our decks top deck very well... I had a problem with extremely aggressive decks. Which is why I shaved a mistbind (3 to 2) and added a Batterskull to the main. I will tell you, Batterskull has won me so many game 1s that I am a firm advocate. I also dropped a Cryptic (3 to 2) as well for another removal. Hitting 3 blue at the right time can be slightly challenging in a deck running 5 colorless and plenty of etb tap lands. I think Faeries is doing well in the current meta. We walk over any deaths shadow list (aggro or grixis), thank you sprite. My only difficult matchup is really Eldrazi Aggro. Ramp Tron I can normally race and disrupt long enough to win.All in all, Faeries is so much fun to play. Good luck to you! I hope we can continue to confuse people when they see that secluded glen drop. Cheers
