Hello,

I’m getting into playing mono blue belcher and noticed that there are two distinct deck lists for the deck; those that run 4 Fallaji Archaeologist + 4 Thundertrap Trainer + 3 Flare of Denial, and those that do not and instead run 11 more countermagic and draw spells (spell snare, counterspell, flood maw, flusterstorm, preordain, stock up.)

I’ve tried out both deck lists and I can’t really tell which to use long term, but it feels like I have more survivability with the all-spells one, but am much more dependent on good opening hands and when I lose I lose much harder. Does anyone have any experience with one or the other, and why did you pick the one you did?

Thank you!
