Creative Technique vs Lands

Updated today

Lands relies heavily on nonbasic artifact and enchantment permanents like Urza's Saga and Dark Depths to assemble its Marit Lage kill, and Ingot Chewer destroys an artifact on entry (or for just a single red mana if evoked) to strip away a Saga token-maker or similar piece before it snowballs. Maelstrom Wanderer is too slow and too easily Wastelanded off its own mana base to matter in a long grindy game against Lands, so it comes out for a more proactive answer. Boseiju, Who Endures in your own manabase is also valuable here since its channel ability can blow up their Urza's Saga, Thespian's Stage, or a problematic Dark Depths before it flips into Marit Lage. Race with your cascade spells and Apex Devastator while keeping an answer in hand for their big threat.
