Can we talk about how many things we are getting from MH2 to bring this deck back to the forefront?
Endurance - Probably better than Faerie Macabre, and much preferable to hard cast. After a resolved LE it also removes your opponents bin so they are starting with 0 in the yard which can be relevant against dredge. Grief - Probably going to be a format staple from here on out but let's you clear quite a path for your combo turn without a mana investment, plus comes back after the LE to do it again Obsidian Charmaw - Possibly a strong sideboard card against Amulet Titan or Tron in addition to your fulminator mages since it can also hit on turn 2 Glimpse of tomorrow - Good Sandbag option if your opponent brings in a bunch of gravehate against you. Probably needs a build that can generate more permanents in play like Bant Sojourners or Shark Typhoon Scion of Draco - This is castable turn 2 if you fetch a triom turn oen and then a shock with the other types. Will probably drive a different style of deck but it is a lot of power for a lot of your cards. Mogg Salvage - Free sideboard artifact removal is good to prevent them from landing hate against you.
so a bit on card choices before I go into my fnm from last Friday. Basic island and forest are so I can answer hate cards easily and cast them through a blood moon (which is everywhere in stores I play in). Leyline of Sanctity is for burn and discard decks. Burn seems like it's on the uptick and I still don't know how I feel about the match. There's a lot of BXx midrange decks in my area. I didn't realize I only had 3 Architects of Will so I need to get 1 more and probably replace the carabids for the last one and maybe another Brazen Borrower // Petty Theft
anyways onto the easy 3-0-1 fnm I got for first at a 21 person event
round 1 got the bye.
1-0, easy mode
Round 2 I 2-0 UWr control, red is for Prismatic Ending . g1 I could have gone off on his 4, when I had 3 mana but I noticed he had 4 mana open and quickly passed. So I didn't wanna play into Cryptic Command . I went up with him and a few buddies and I knew he said he didn't really update his deck much over covid so I put him on it. I drew into a grief, which he countered with cryptic. He then tapped out for a jtms so I went off. G2 I believe he mulled to 6, I forced the Dovin's Veto on my first living end. I drew into a living end so I decided to suspend it. I decided to take a weird line where I cast another cascade spell to see if I could kill him before my suspend went off, because I could just go off soon anyways. I was able to kill him by then using Violent Outburst as an anthem. Note my architects of will showed me the one of Rest in Peace at the top so good thing I took that line
Round 4 opponent offers me the draw, which I accept because I was in first after 3rd round so I figured my standing wouldn't change. Turns out he's on dredge, which isn't a match I really know. While I'm thinking of it, who's favoured in this match?
anyways got first, played against matches I don't know well. I don't know if the build of UWr control is good for me, didn't see chalice but counters galore. I don't know about how the glimpse match should go and dredge feels like it could have been weird

Round 3 I 2-0 the cascade Glimpse of Tomorrow deck. G1 I go off on 3, counter his Glimpse of Tomorrow the win. g2 he mulls to 5, I living end in response to Teferi, Time Raveler . he bounces something but I can cast again anyways
3-0.
