Koch nel suo articolo/report lo spiega bene: sono stati tenuti in considerazione sia i Pact of Negation che le Misdirection con free counter da affiancare alle FoW.
I Pact sono stati scartati perchè se passi per una chiusura creaturosa, Griselbrand in particolare, molto difficilmente riesci a pagare Patto il turno dopo.
Cita:
We also shaved Pact of Negation from the deck, as it is useless when you have to protect Show and Tell into Griselbrand
Le Misdirection sono state provate ma anche loro scartate perchè molto spesso, se in un turno devi fare Force e Misdi hai uno spreco di risorse troppo elevato.
Cita:
The deck needs more protection and disruption than just Force of Will. Pact of Negation is obviously not an option, and including multiple Misdirections is horrible. Mostly you want to have a Force of Will to protect your combo, and Misdirection doubles as that, but consider that almost any hand with mulitple pitch counters would just be better if you replaced one of the pitch counters with a random blue card. Pitch counters are such a drain on your resources that you can almost never afford to cast two
Spell Pierce o Flusterstorm non counterano Thalia fatta al turno 2, credo sia questa la principale motivazione per cui non vengono usati in favore dei Daze.
Cita:
he deck turned out to be so explosive that Daze was a hard counter to protect the combo most of the time. At other times Daze is just a nice way to interact with your opponent without burning your resources, unlike Force of Will
E ancora, con anche un accenno alla possibilità di splashare nero per gli scarti:
Cita:
Daze is not only the logical choice, it also fits your game plan very well, as it allows you to run through your cantrips and not be naked at the same time. It allows you to protect your combo in the early turns when you could not even have afforded the mana to cast a Thoughtseize. Also the mere presence of a super-explosive combo deck puts pressure on your opponent. He might be dead any turn and often he cannot afford to wait on casting his spells. Last but not least, Daze is a blue card. Thougtseize does not pitch to Force of Will. All things considered, including Thoughtseize has a lot of appeal, but for me Daze has always pulled its weight in this deck
Ieri inoltre sul sito WotC è apparso un video (

L'idea di giocare Sparkcaster in side con Living Wish piace molto anche a me, sembra un ottima giocata contro Thalia in caso non abbiamo Emrakul/Griselbrand. Allo stesso modo non mi dispiace Obliterate.
