Interesting... putting +1/+1 counters on target shrine? Shrines are enchantments.

It's slightly better than Undying, since it doesn't require that the target doesn't already have a +1/+1 counter.

The issue with the Greaves reference is Brago, when equipped with it, can't blink himself. Swiftfoot Boots would work though.

But one thing I just thought of is it could be good for things like Batterskull (equipping to some creature or just getting another germ) or Pariah's Shield (re-equipping it for free to a token that we can make plenty of).

And with more equipment we could include Stoneforge Mystic or Taj-Nar Swordsmith to fetch up the hammer.

Hammer of Nazahn

Another way to protect Brago. And it auto equips itself and other equipment.

One interesting thing is you can cast wheel effects. The opponent loses their entire hand and gets 1 card. You get a new full grip + 1 card.

I also run World Breaker and he has been great.

As for the burn debate of Queller vs Clique, I say they're both useful. And they both have their uses in other matchups as well. bennyhillz runs Clique (no Queller) and Gul_dukat runs 4 Queller (no Clique) and both have done very well with the deck recently. I'm running a 3/1 split in the sideboard and 1 Clique in the main at the moment. I haven't run the list yet, because I'm currently waiting (budget reasons) to finish it. But keeping up with watching people play on stream, the meta, the bennyhillz interview, and the comments here, this is the list I'm currently on.

Thoughts on Excavator as a way to gain reach against other GB decks?

I'm thinking Desert of the Glorified, Desert of the Indomitable, and Scavenger Grounds are worth looking into. As well as Ramunap Excavator and Hour of Promise.

I personally don't think running as many as 7 basics is an issue. Given we run 3-4 Supreme Verdict and 2-3 Cryptic Command, I think it's actually pretty necessary to deal with blood moon and land destruction.
