There is the belief that firesworn is weak to removal but this belief is downright wrong.

I ask that you look within yourself and try to recall if you ever actually beat a firesworn deck without outgreeding it somehow.

Because removing their engines is completely inadequate, you can't stem the firesworn tide without some sort of wide punish, single target stuff is like trying to stop a river with a spoon.

I just had this match where I was playing a variation of devotion SK with birna and coral, I was chock full of removal and pointslam, no engines though.

R1 kills: 1 crystal skulled firesworn scribe, 1 regular firesworn scribe, 1 fallen knight
had to pass the round after grand inquisitor helveed flooded the board

R2 kills: 1 cyrus angelkind, 1 fallen knight, 1 Lieutenant Von Herst
won the round by an hair breadth, the firesworn brought back by cyrus made things difficult

R3 kills: 1 eternal fire disciple (didn't have enough dmg left to take out jacques)
lost it to jacques

SY firesworn has more win conditions than SK self wound and nobody says SK self wound is weak to removal. Why is it that SY firesworn is considered weak to removal then ?

small disclaimer here at the end: I am not complaining about SY firesworn, there are decks out there that destroy my SK devotion list much worse than SY firesworn, I am complaining about the people who keep saying SY firesworn is weak to removal when this is not the case at all.
