About shuffling all 15 sb cards into main deck is a bit similar to what Reid Duke did in his online match up. He will add relevant SB cards to his MB and started cutting any dead weight cards from his Mb to his Sideboard.
played some games and kaya, orzhov usurper is great replacement for 3rd ooze and kalitas. great on control, lantern, affinity, and gy ofcourse but no different thatn ooze or kalitas on gy strategies. it really great on control, it doesn't get sweep compared to ooze and they don't have a lot of answers to it. in artifact strategies like lantern, affinity, and harden scales, its really great constant removal, archbound ravager, hangerback, harden scales, mox opal, compare to ooze that's just a blocker. in gy strategies, its good and bad compared to ooze. on turn 3, its 2 gy cards but ooze in turn 3 is only 1 card removed in gy. cant protect itself when pressured by phoenix, dedge, but really great on gds matchups. but if you're on the play, it can snowball to win. great on humans matchup compared to ooze if you can protect it. but it hits a lot anyhow on humans deck.
kaya is not good against mirror matchups and spirits deck. we would rather have ooze on mirror matchups but for spirits, if we play kaya, the 2 damnation/sweeper plan is better because its not a creature and it doesn't get sweep by out sweepers.
I like it as a 2-off replaceing kalitas and 3rd ooze.

Had to swap a trophy for a decay and Lili the last hope for a LoTV due to card availability. Matchups were as follows;
Amulet 2-0
Hollow One 2-0
Burn 1-2
Humans 2-0.
Humans 2-0
I.D.
Quarters
Mardu Phoenix Pyro 0-2.
Bob was stellar this weekend. Against humans he drew me into so much removal it was a cakewalk. Finks and tracker from the sideboard won plenty of games. Ive been jamming this list a lot and it feels great. Not much I would change presently.

Great Article. With running 23 lands. Many times I have a hand with bob and discard. The discard takes the removal and then bob lives one turn to draw me into the 3rd land on curve. Tracker is great (i play both) but Bob is guaranteed card if he lives. He doesn't ask for anything more.

Hard disagree. Bob loves nothing more than to punch you in the face, especially when youre at low life. This is not me saying not to run him, this is not me calling him weak, I am simply acknowledging the abusing relationship i have with that man.
the problem is that he needs to survive one turn before you get to use him and also this makes him a terrible topdeck, unfortunately. kinda rough I feel.

He's a better top-deck than discard in many situations. Twenty-turn clock!
Here’s an odd list I’ve been tweaking and playing. I feel discard spells are over rated currently and I’m wanting none creature threats more and more as I’m playing the format.

It certainly is. I went 3-1 last night losing to burn in a very close match where burn drew amazing and I stumbled on lands and still almost stabilized game 3. I beat Izzet Phoenix 2-0, tron 2-0, and the new sultia reclamation deck 2-1. I hate leyline as a 1 of and will likely swap it out for ravenous trap next time. I will also be adding 1 evolutionary leap to the main to help when chump blocking.
How are the BoPs working? Don't see many lists with them!
I’m liking them a lot as I have ways to utilize them late game without them just being dead draws. Leap has actually been really strong for me for grinding value out of the deck. Bop is actually one of the best plays I have t1 because I’m so heavy on 3’s.

Why is it played?
We can lose many lifes.
Tireless Tracker is better or not?
If I may link you to my article on this very topic, there you can read the details on why Tracker is not better than Bob:
