I've been playing the Hexdrinker/Dark Confidant list on moto for a bit. It's interesting. I've not played with bob before now and shifting gears from a more controlling Rock list has been an adjustment. I also haven't played for a bit so learning the new metagame as well. The Rock really just isn't what it used to be. Oh-well.
I was wondering though, if it isn't Tier 1 anymore, could it be focused more to prey on some portion of the field at the expense of another? There is so much graveyard shenanigans around. And I feel like even against aggro, the post board matchups still seem good. I'm wondering about just leaning into that and completely giving up on the big mana matchups. That should free up some board space. And I'd like to get some more MD graveyard interaction. Basically, what is scooze 5-6?
I was surprised at how often Hex Drinker just came down as a 4/4 pro instants. It's a pretty decent top deck and not a bad opener. Better than just playing out a ETB tapped land for sure.
But the right sort of card filtering, no? Oath of Nissa isn't the worst. I was playing a BG Eldrazi deck a while back and loaded up on Oaths and Ancient Stirrings. It was problematic because at the end of the day, we're not a xerox deck. We need to deploy threats, which means we would need something like Oath stapled onto a decent body, preferably at 2 mana. That's a tall order but the Horizons spoiler reads like a U wishlist so maybe there's hope.
