Arlinn Kord's +1 on the Day side is amazing and always happy about using her. I have killed opponents much earlier due to hasting out a goyf or Knight.
So I ended 11-4 at the end of Day 2, and placed 29th so I might be on the Wizards Page for decklist.
Lugger as you can see I went the Dragon Plan and it worked wonders for the GP. Decided against Rallier as it was being too inconsistent. Smiter saved me more times due to being just a 4/4 for 3.
So I made Day 2 of GP Brisbane with Naya Planeswalkers, going 7-2 into day 2 will see how i go in the morning will post list then but it is based on the list from Lugger.
So I came 2nd at a 6 round GPT today losing in the finals, list above. Arlinn Kord was amazing almost always today.
Round 1:Mono White midrange.Played First. Did not see much of their deck, other than Nyx fleece ram and paths. 2-0
1-0
Round 2:Blue Moon Brew. Played Second. It was made by someone I know, not very good build because it was trying to lock out cmc 1 as well as blood moon and AV. 2-0
2-0
Round 3:B/G Deathcloud. Played First. Game 1 got to ulti Arlinn and ping to death off a topdecked knight, 2nd game value from goyf and ooze. 2-0
3-0
Round 4:Infect. Played First. Lost game 1 after not drawing removal past the 2 in opening hand, Won game 2 from killing the 2 infect threats and no more drawn from deck, Game 3 was attacked for 10 infect and got to deflecting palm it for lethal. Was the first round that I took out Oath and Arlinn 2-1
4-0
Round 5-6: Double ID into top 8 getting 3rd place in standings
4-0-2
Top8:Skred Red. Played First. Game 1 just curved out great and won on turn 5. Game 2 Turned into a grind where I drew 8 Lands and lost. Game3 Opponent on Turn 5 was on 13 and I had Arlinn/DaySide and 5 land on board before casting Knight and getting 13 damage through that turn. 2-1
5-0-2
Top4:Merkfolk. Played First. Opponent in both games just flooded out and Arlinn ulted both games for lethal. 2-0
6-0-2
Finals:Robots. Played First. Lost game 1 to them after underestimating damage from 2 Etched Champions, Game 2 Won with Arlinn, Stony Silence and Knight taking over quickly. Game 3 Died to early Plating and double Galv Blast.
Had a great day, Arlinn was good for all but 1 match and even the oaths were great.
Would be willing to run this version of the list again.
I am leaning to a yes, and we can interact well enough with SotM not to care about it as much. It is an interesting time. Well time to Arlinn Kord people to death
Interesting to say the least. Eye was expected and Visions was a sure makes sense by Sword shows that it is slow enough and beatable enough to be unbanned.
Frankly I'm most happy about this set because it'll herald a meta that doesn't force big zoo to eat *****. Even if Arlinn isn't great, at least we can play the deck again. With that said, didn't LSV say Arlinn on the 15th? Maybe I heard wrong.
I think you heard right for the 15th, though I am still fine with that, also I have been playing big zoo is this meta and it is fine so long as you adjust a little, maybe that is just me.
Round 2:Colorless Eldrazi 2-1
Moment of fun, opponent casts Reality Smasher on turn 3 after myself not casting anything, used Valorous Stance to destroy and got to discard Smiter, felt good
Round 3: UW Eldrazi 2-1
Blood Moon killed.
Round 4: Affinity 2-0
Just had enough removal, and a good 4 for one with EE in game 2
Round 5: Colorless Eldrazi 1-2 against Shota Yasooka to face my first ever Pro
Was a fun match, was close game 3 had him down to 3, most fun I had that day playing modern.
Round 6: Melira Company 1-2
Round 7: Melira Company 2-1(2-0)
Got a game loss for going to wrong seat first, then went 2-0
Round 8: GBW(Abzan) 2-1
Round 9: UW Control 1-2
Day 2(3-3)
Round 10: 1-2 Melira Company
Round 11: 1-2 UW Control
Round 12: 1-2 Colorless Eldrazi
Best game of the weekend, game 2 on the play I mull to 4, opponent has a full 7, Hand is Noble, Knight, Stomping and Goyf, Scry a fetch on top, go on to play noble, he plays 2 endless from eye with a mimic, and then went on to draw no more land for the rest of the game, BUT got another knight, smiter and enough stuff that knight took over the game hard.
The commands were great as I had killed something in each matchup and in the semi's 2 for 1 storm by making them sack an enchantment and fighting the electromancer to win the game on the next turn instead of him storming off.
Going to a PPTQ for modern in about 8 hours from now so heading to sleep, gonna use the list as is maybe change sideboard once I know the potential meta.
Also mirran got me a free win against Jund late game since the goyf stare down meant i could deal 10 a turn(wolf run for 3) and could not draw the last bolt.
Dec in Stone was fine, had been using it for a month now and quite happy with path 5-6 or token removal.
EE has always been great for the matchups I wanted it.
Probably the only thing I felt that was lacking was the Crumble only due to the lack of tron that I faced, but would have loved it for those games.
Would run the same 75 at the event.
Did not see as many Tron decks as I thought I would have, however She was great at just tempoing out players early and late.
Arlinn Kord's +1 on the Day side is amazing and always happy about using her. I have killed opponents much earlier due to hasting out a goyf or Knight.

Where is the Bloodbraid Elf unban huh?
I am planning on 2 for the main board instead of huntmaster at the moment, very good with knight for vigilance haste and pretty much everything
I think you heard right for the 15th, though I am still fine with that, also I have been playing big zoo is this meta and it is fine so long as you adjust a little, maybe that is just me.
Or better than Huntmaster because that would be an include as well.
