Happened to enter SCG States in Portland, Oregon today with this list. Ended up going 3-3 for 25th place. Won 2-0 vs RUG Prowess, UW Emeria Control, and UW Flash Control. Lost 0-2 vs Affinity, Elves and Merfolk. I definitely kept a super sketchy hand of 5 lands + Path game 1 vs Affinity. Then proceeded to draw 4 more lands. The Sword of Light and Shadow rocked in the grindy control match ups when Pack Rat got it for recurring cards to activate it.
I definitely didn't bring the right sideboard, as I was expecting/hoping for a lot more Grixis decks than there were. Should have ran 3 Wrath of God taking out the 3rd Go for the Throat and the Engineered Explosives. Ran the swords as I've been too lazy to order a couple copies of Grafted Wargear.
Overall I'm happy I brought this deck. Just wish I had brought a more thought out sideboard.
I tried out Miren, the Moaning Well as a sac outlet for Percy and was not happy with it. I never needed it even when I ran 3 Percy. I switched it out for a 4th Mutavault. With 6 kill spells and 3 Liliana its been easy to remove. Not to mention that they rarely survive more than a turn otherwise with the many terminates flying around. The Slaughter Pact is a concession to the sheer number of Twin players in my area. Likewise Burn is nearly nonexistent in my area. It's a match up I frankly hope to dodge.
I'm running this list in a PPTQ Sunday. I built this a few weeks ago after playing GR Tron for some time. I've done a lot of testing with it since. There's only 3 Bobs as a friend won't be able to get my 4th to me in time. I'm expecting a heavy Twin and grixis meta with a smattering of affinity and fish. Anyhow, thanks for all the tips in this thread.
