I've had a good deal of success with this list recently. Admittedly I'm just trying to ignore Hogaak in the hope it catches a hammer. Also, the basics are all snow-covered.
I've started streaming the deck, trying to get about 1 league in a day on MTGO. Working the deck through its paces, trying to figure out what I want my list to be like. Haven't gotten around to Coatl yet. Two leagues in, got a 4-1 (very narrowly missed the 5-0), and a 3-2 (narrow loss to Elves, punted vs Jeskai Cat). I'm looking at Jeskai Cat as another deck that seems like it would be a lot of fun and similar to BtL.
You can catch my stream weekdays in the afternoon/evening EST. Probably starting around 6. Weekends should be closer to midday EST. Around 1 PM, or so. https://www.twitch.tv/arsteel8
Narset feels great so far. It's DTT 2.0. with extra text. Teferi is also great, but a pain in the butt to beat from the other side, since it shuts off suspend and Bring to Light. EoT Bring to Light with Teferi is great. Fetch a E-Witness for free, then hold up BtL for Cryptic if you'd like and start the Cryptic loop. Whenever you're ready to win, return the BtL instead of the Cryptic.
I know this thread died (did y'all move to the Valakut discord?) but I figure I'll give something of an update.
I played with BtL for a bit, did play with Coatl. Coatl was meh, but it was before people started playing Astrolabe. Still haven't tried Labe.
I swapped to RUG for a bit, was on 3 Drawn from Dreams 2 Narset and it felt great to actually have a lot of cards in hand. Coatl was definitely better in RUG. Bolts were actually feeling good as well, when I've been on Path for forever.
I've gone full heretic and been playing TitanShift for the last couple days. I want to try playing OmenShift, except with Hour of Promise + Field of the Dead instead of Prismatic Omen + Valakut. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2611474#paper is where I want to start, not sure if Astrolabe + Coatl is going to stay in the deck. Only having 3 Snow basics hurts on that front.
