Holy shit you americans are hypocrites . Under your political system you vote in someone like Pence and you think you have moral high ground <| sep |> uPremaximum that is SUCH a good question ! I ' m in the exact opposite situation I do have all the Lantern pieces and considering the deck swap but not quite there yet ! Meanwhile , I ' ve put a lot of energy in better understanding the strenghts of each deck . To the best of my observations , it pretty much boils down to Tezz has a better Burn matchup thanks to ThopterSword and Tezzeret swinging games around fast . And optional more hand disruption andor Chalice of the Void variants Tezz fares better against Jund indestructible hasty 55 s , Tezz himself and ThopterSword all give them headaches . Tezz can not only combowin Bridge being one combo of sort , ThopterSword the other , but also outmidrange other midrange decks with planeswalkers and board wipes on top of targeted discard sort of play a jundlike game . Lantern has better game against Big mana decks Tron , Valakut , which Tezz has a hard time really interacting with , though we ' re working on it Lantern control is somewhat better at playing around hate top control is a thing . It also has answers to Stony Silence , that otherwise shuts the deck down . Tezz , while having no answers to a resolved SS , can effectively win THROUGH Stony Silence more often than you ' d think beating down with an Ensouled Citadel , throwing a Tezzeret Ultimate to their face over a Bridge or just chipping at them with a thopterandcrane squad . This being said , Shatterstorm still is a huge blowout . But they have to draw that 1 or 2 of . Because they ' re in the dark , once they ' ve established control of the board , Tezz players need to turn the corner and go for the kill quick . That makes for absolutely thrilling games actually . But we ' re obviously softer to topdecks . Well , I could elaborate more if you ' d like , but this should give you a good idea .
