UW Lotus Control - Current Meta

Added 2023-09-15 05:47:03 +0000 UTC

This is likely what I would play in Pioneer in what I think is the current state of the meta.

I would like to emphasize that this is not representative of what I think will be at the RCs but what is being played now in general. Because there is no real incentive to play Pioneer right now, the meta has become more aggressive. It is likely that it will change as we get into the RC season after Worlds.

And so the deck must adapt for now:

Important things to note:

Chandra is better than Hullbreaker in an aggro meta

3 Thespian Stage is better than 4 in an aggro meta. 4 is too awkward in the early game but is much better against slower metas. Currently not the case.

Spirits still shows some presence in the meta but not at an overwhelming degree. Matchup should be fine overall with 3 disputes.

Finale of Revelation is gone since the meta is much more hostile against UW Lotus. The matchup against MonoG is still very good but without Finale, you can now definitely lose games if they stone brain a lot of your cards. Finale gave an alternative wincon that they could not always answer.

After MC Las Vegas, I will likely focus on Pioneer once again.
