Perilous vault is great against this. Better than ugin or crux of fate cause of manifests and whisperwood. Post board, you board in some number of reclamation sage (not too many) and some number of nissa to give yourself outs to vault as well, but u/b control is just really well positioned against what the deck is trying to do. I think as long as they can counter every mastery of the unseen it should be unlosable.

Looking for cheapish decks for all the formats. Want to be relevant, but happy to be like 2nd 3rd tier. Possibly with cards common to them.
Currently looking at building a Mono Green Stompy for Modern.
The issue is Legacy. Layer 7B is cheapish for an entry level Legacy deck the core cards are all low, but it's a boatload to improve. Burn is cheap I know but it's boring. I prefer playing fair decks, but again I want to be relevant. Thoughts?
By the way this is intended to be a process over a year or so, so money is an object, but preferably a deck that I can build cheapish but improve as I get cards so I can at least have something playable until I can build.
Not a fair deck in any way whatsoever, but Manaless Dredge (if you're not playing the blue version with some number of Force of Will/Disrupting Shoal) is super cheap, upgrades nicely when you have more cash to sink into LEDs etc, and is comfortably favoured in game 1 of any match. Games 2 and 3 do come down to how much grave hate your opponent mulligans into, but it's still very doable.
Hex Depths can be done for about $500. I also would recommend PucaTrade once you pick a deck. Every card you get on there is another card you don't have to pay for.
Very good obviously, played five of my six rares (Herald of Anafenza, Ashcloud Phoenix, Dragonscale General, Daghatar, and Dramoka) in my RW splash green deck. Beat Andrew Baeckstrom and played no other notable names. My brother lost his win and in and lost to Paul Reitzl in round 7.
And 0-2 then a Bye in my first pod, probably need to 3-0 the second one to cash. Another local grinder is X-1 playing in the finals of his pod right now.
And here I thought I had figured out how to draft this set, lolnope, think I was probably locking into colors too quickly. 0-1 in the second pod and dropped since even a 2-0 finish to the pod would've left me short of the 31 points that was needed to cash.
Making my first day two in four attempts does however have me considering adding another Grand Prix to my slate for this year (Detroit, Indy, Pittsburgh); probably Dallas/Fort Worth since it's limited and airfare to there is actually relatively cheap.
Yeah, it absolutely felt good, especially since I didn't have any byes to just go 7-2 on the first day and make day two and check that off my to-do list. Unfortunately the lack of sleep probably wore on me more than I thought it would on day two and that led me to lock into colors way too early and completely punt away my first game in round 10. So, I've drafted FKK twice on MTGO already since Sunday and went 2-1 and 2-0-1 in a pair of 8-4's so a little annoyed at the poor performance in the draft because I knew after some early struggles when the format was knew I had figured out the format to a decent degree recently.
But hey, on to a new limited environment already; I'm taking Dramoka at the prerelease because looking at the cycles of rares/mythics that are likely to be in the seeded pack I think GW is very clearly the best of them.
