So I have been playing around with Aethergeode Miner and I think the best home for him is actually in a controlling list. Control always likes finishers, which are impossible to deal with and while he may be a slow kill, as long as you keep blockers off the board he is nearly unstoppable. I have chosen to run him along side Dynavolt Tower for added value and it has been great. One of the biggest plus's of the deck is that your Harness lightning can often kill any creature save newlamog. Also with Emrakul and smuggler's copter out of the format Chandra, Flamecaller, seems good again, which givwes another hard to interact with win condition that doubles as a sweeper and CA engine. The side board is a little up in the air but currently authority and Gideon are must haves. Gideion helps for any match where you need to close out the game quickly, and can also be used to stall out some aggro decks. Shock is efficient removal that can also be directed at player's and walkers, and Hellion is a fast clock for games 2-3 against control. Currently midrange feels like the worse matchup, and it's possible that the mainboard/sideboard needs to be tweaked to combat it more effectively
Has anyone else stumbled upon a similar list? I have only playtested it on cockatrice, but it has been very good in that meta. Even though it's the worst matchup, midrange games seem very winable if dynavolt sticks.
