I've been experimenting with a couple cards that I wanted to bring up for discussion, one of them is Tidehollow Sculler.
I understand that the ideal T2 play is likely a Knight or other relevant 3 drop, but information with sculler has been really nice in the games I've played. The fact that it's a bit of an easy lightning(bolt) rod I haven't minded, knowing my opponent's hand and being able to feel safe going into a company in the next turn or so feels good. It competes for spots with VoR and ooze. It is fragile though, and U/B can be a weird color splash. I'll be doing more testing to see where it goes. Of course, the other obvious slot for this is Vendillion Clique, but with sculler you force a resource from the opponent or they risk losing that card, it's even led me to consider 1-2 wasteland strangler, considering this deck wanting more removal would be nice. Between Paths, scooze, and scullers, there seems to be ample targets for it.
I'm running the archangel/feeder combo in conjunction with 1 mainboard evolution currently to present another combo threat, which has been working well. I'm never displeased to have an archangel, despite it being incongruent with company. It's an awesome threat by itself, with two mainboard courser, finks, scooze, it's ridiculous. A note on evolution in the deck; so far it's been great. In a lot of ways it feels like a 5th knight with the amount of dorks this deck runs and tends to have hanging around on the field.
Any thoughts on renegade rallier? Tracker tokens are a nice way to trigger revolt, it improves coralhelm and grabs the odd voice, scooze, pridemage, or selfless spirit, which continues to do valuable work maintaining field presence.
