Haven't been posting for a while due to lack of time but still very much on this deck. Played in a small modern event yesterday and went 3-1 winning against Abzan midrange, zoo, and Knight tribal but losing to Abzan coco. I still think the deck has power but have noticed that it doesn't seem to be putting up results at a more competitive level. I am not sure why this is, as I would think that the more successful bant versions suffer from being a four color deck (although I'm sure birds and noble help w/ this considerably). The power of this deck I have always felt is that it is able to play so much md hate as part of it's natural gameplan while still functioning as a viable midrange deck. But maybe this strategy is not as viable in a larger metagame than my own? Or perhaps there just isn't a significant amount of people on the deck. I will say that I have gone back on the sculler plan and upped my colored lands dropping any sort of land toolbox or ramp from mind stone/map. My creatures sometimes come out a little slower but between sculler and TKS I sure do enjoy tearing my opponent's hand to shreds.
Out of curiosity, why tidehollow sculler and not brain maggot? It dies to almost all the same removal and is easier on the mana curve, requiring only one color instead of two. Is the extra power/toughness frequently applicable?
