    Arc trail over burst lightning makes more sense, and provides some added utility vs. mana dorks/shaman/etc.

    Ricochet Trap is absolutely in. Pulling Arc Trail at this point, considering the full set of Lightning Bolt and Burst Lightning in the main.

    Considering Ricochet Trap for the board to help in the UB Control matchup

    Updated as of Scars of Mirrodin Game Day.


    R1: Loss to UB Persecutor Control (need either a full set of brittle effigy or another option for how to deal with Abyssal Persecutor)
    R2: Win vs. WW Quest
    R3: Win vs. Mono-Red Aggro (kiln fiend build)


    Masticore was stellar here, esp. in conjunction with Koth's -2. Will need to come up with a few more- at least 3, probably a playset.
