Deck and SB guide, effective 1/8/23

Hi everyone, coming back at you in 2023! With the meta settling a bit, I have updated the list to account for it. I am happy with where it is at, and you can see it in action in my recent video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPZpr9NBMUM&t=2815s.

While you can certainly run a mono white list, I am a big supporter of the UW list, and I think the splash for Haywire Mite in the SB is a very low cost for such a powerful effect.

As a reminder, here are some key cards that Haywire mite has answered for me:

Urza's Saga, Kaldra, Leyline Binding, Chalice of the Void, Blood Moon, Spreading Seas, EE.

Of course, make sure to adjust your mid-match decisions based on the specifics of any list you face and use this as a guideline, rather than a hard and fast rule!

Without further ado, here is the list:

Deck Configuration Notes:

-23 land - The addition of Horizon Canopy as an extra white source that also taps for Haywire Mite's activation is a nice bonus. You can certainly keep a steelshaper's gift in this slot (or a variety of other options), but I have been quite happy with the extra white source to help ensure I can cast my spells.

-0 Relics/GY hate - Still very happy with this.

-2 Lavinia/2 Drannith - Not only is she still excellent against Cascade and 4C Elementals, but with her stopping Leyline Binding, she continues to be one of your best tools. I have split with Drannith because Drannith does a good job hating on cascade while also fighting against Underworld Breach.

-Nettlecyst - Having a fair equipment is solid, but the real benefit is having a solid body that you can tutor up with Stoneforge is huge in the midrange/control matchups. Plus, the more sanctifiers you play, the better Nettlecyst gets since it makes Sanctifier a real threat.

-3 Drum vs. 2 Drum/1 Mantle: Without the mana sink of the Reality Chip, and the removal of Steelshaper's Gift, Mantle's flexibility was coming up less and less often.

-3 Sanctifier: With the piles of RB decks running around, Sanctifier has overperformed. Additionally, she does a ton of work against Murktide as a bonus.
