My issue with more shambling vents is the heavy need for the first 3 lands to come into play untapped, fetid heath is also been bad with damping sphere. Hallowed moonlight is just been to narrow for an open field.
Event 1 - 1-2 Round 1 - 2-0 against Hardened Scales
Used discard and removal to pick apart their threats leading to some anemic games from their side. Round 2 - 1-2 against RG TitanShift
Managed to steal game 2 due to a loose keep from the shift player and a well-timed thoughtseize. Games one and two were pretty classic, getting hit with a maindeck anger game 1 and a turn 4 titan in game 3 spiraling out of control. Round 3 - 0-2 against WG Elves
Got stomped both games with multiple fast companies and poorly timing my removal. Game two was one turn late on the settle after drawing the shambling vent on turn 4. Event 2 - 1-2 Round 1 - 2-0 Jund
Leveraged bitterblossom game one, and game two managed to beat have enough removal to kill their stuff and a Gideon to deal with a LtLH. Round 2 - 1-2 BG Rock
Harder match then jund due to more abrupt decays and Assasin’s Trophies over lightning bolts and terminates. Round 3 - 0-2 against burn
Got raced, found the lack of collective brutality hard. Legion’s landing and Sorin were too slow to be reasonable sources of life gain. Wrap up
Not enough lands. I wasn't consistently hitting the third land on turn three, I plan on replacing a zealous persecution with a godless shrine. The sideboard felt good, I may replace one RIP with another collective brutality.
