Eh, any of the more aggressive lists I don’t thibk need to worry about Jace too much. Firecraft is a must though and this sort of thing is exactly why I have Flame Jab to peck away the last extra points off anything. Sudden Shock DOES have significant play in the Jund or other GBx decks. Gotta be able to hit that Scooooze!
Also correct on the fact of trying to jam 4 drops off 21 and under land bases that are also fetch heavy. You’ll hit 4 lands but probably after the point Chandra was gonna DO THE THING! Same reason I regularly back down or out my Ajani’s.
Sooooo... Jace... Make sure if you run sweeper spells Volcanic is probably top choice again. Basically i’d Suggest being ready to go back to Twin erra builds. Sleeve up those Exquisite Firecraft too!
Would it be better to sideboard my Fallouts and run something else main?
I might suggest boarding out 2 and leaving in 2. Still allow the “Gotcha”s but against the wrong deck it becomes “1RR Shock is both and maybe lose 1+ of my guys.”. I mean it does nothing to Tron or Lantern etc.
I wouldn’t try the RW man land. Essentially 5 mana is REALLY high. I’ve started picking up some Hostile Deserts to try. Especially if I try the 1WW Wrath and want to try to clean up the board on like turn 5 or 6 and swing with a whole mess of freshly activated bodies. I plan to try the same in Standard with Vehicles if I can find any time.
I also kind of want to try out Baffling End in the board. Pesky bigger threats. How about we just make sure they don’t come back and if they REALLY want a 3/3 they have to work for it.
How often do you feel flooded from the 22 lands? I haven’t redone my list for a while but I ordered some goodies like Path of Mettle, Daredevil, and some other goodies. I may even consider finding time to test out Slaughter the Strong with a little Gideon action going.
Have the Seekers still been working out for you? Also how have Soul-Scars been for your list. I’m sure you like them for the same reason you run Volcanic Fallouts. Gotta love perminently -2/-2’ing your opponent’s board before swinging with Prowess powered dudes. Though Fallout does get in the way of Brimaz tokens and part of why I like PoM for some testing expecting somewhere to see some Lingering Souls tokens trying to clog up the board. I still need to get my hands on a few more Legion’s Landing to test how reliable one can flip it and get both the land ramp and endless supply of lifelink dudes.
Oh and especially with your similar focus on Prowess did you test Flame Jab? It was always a powerhouse when I was playing more. I only ever got to one store level even with Bedlhams but it felt great to get my hand low or empty to power out a lowered cost Devil and reload. Every late game land draw was live compared to back when I played more frequently i’d topdeck that land when all I needed was Prowess triggers, dudes, or a burn/removal spell...
Planeswalkers Uniqueness rule will be gone at the release of Ixilan. All Walkers are now Legendary and follow the Legendary rules. Kytheon is now better because you can play him out and still be able to play the other Gideons as when he flips you don't have to pick "do I keep flipped Kytheon or my other Gideon?". We may see a heavy shift toward control in the meta as well as the Boros archetypes may start to merge some more again as you can take that "tribal Gideon" deck and the Boros Pillowfort and literally any other Boros list and mash them together.
