vs. Mono Red Aggro
Let's start by talking about a match that has been happening frequently, as Mono Red Aggro has grown a lot lately. Usually, matches against red decks tend to be good for us, as they contain many low-cost spells that Spellstutter Sprite can easily counter. If in Game 1 we can have an advantage, in the post side it should be even better as we have Hydroblast.Side in:

vs. Boros Bully
This is a game that we're going to have a lot of work to win since our opponent's deck has numerous creatures with flying and that interferes with our game plan. To win this match, we need to attempt to always be in front of the plays, which is complicated, but it's not impossible.Ad

vs. Auras
If there's a matchup that can also be excellent for us, it's this one, but it's not like it's the easiest game in the world, here we have several answers, but they need to be lined up. I put this match to show that even though we have one of the best removals from the format, which is Skred, here we can't kill any creatures, and it's the first card that comes out on post-side.Side in:

vs. Grixis Affinity
If there's a game that used to be much better for us than it is today, it's this one. In the old days we just played Gorilla Shaman and the game was practically over, but nowadays with indestructible lands, things aren't quite like that, Gorilla Shaman still helps, but it might also do nothing. Although Affinity has very high drop creatures, the vast majority of spells are easily countered by Spellstutter Sprite, which is a great advantage for us, but we have to be cautious with Makeshift Munitions that is the worst card for us in this game, especially in Game 1.Side in:

vs. Izzet Faeries
This is one of the worst mirrors to try to explain how to play. You need to think thoroughly about each attitude and plan as if you were playing chess, think about several steps ahead because if something goes wrong the game can end right there. In these matches, the game is often locked where players are just playing lands and passing, as taking the first attitude can also mean overextending. This game is all about patience and wisdom to get into a counter war and win, or lose deliberately, but on the opponent's turn, having them tapped out, so we can resolve a monarch with an empty board and be way ahead.Side in:
