Meh I feel like with the lack of new content here that should go out of the window. With Giver, gift and new Ranger I think we could see an uptick in tooling ss lists.
Here is something I've been messing around with. Sideboard is a mess but its a start. The red cantrips are also suspect but in a mono R list I think they work. Tried this after playing a lot of UR Kiln and I think as a budget hyper aggressive version this is fun to play. Not a lot of interaction with your opponent which kind of sucks right now, maybe need more Blessings. Either way, food for thought.
Ran this the other day in a more casual LGS. Prior to this I was running heavier in black with Thoughtseize and IOK in the main but wanted to try something more W heavy. Would consider taking out things like Martyr, upping Thune and Champ, and reworking the side to add TS or maybe Castigate.
Played against some burn, shadow and bogels. Lost to bogels, edged out wins against shadow, naya and Rw burn. Wouldn't say I played well but did fine.
How have people been doing against decks like Elves? I feel like the wider they go the harder it is to push anything through. Prey Upon works okay but I feel like its been auto-lose for me.
Fountain seems like it would be playable at first glance but scenarios like having a sister and a pridemate in your opening slows us down a turn and doesn't immediately help him grow. I think with a deck that has problems with interacting with other decks, having a sister in play T1 is more important.
What are people running in terms on GQ? I've been on 3 main and I've been thinking of cutting to 2 or 1 due to some unlucky games where I'm drawing that as my only land.
Souls is necessary and I think its widely accepted that when splashing black, a more token heavy build it brings kind of pushes out the hawk/sands engine.
