I tweaked the deck again and again and the current version seems really strong, so I want to share it.





21 lands, now with 2 Plains for my three WW cards, to keep the amount of mana sources right I switched from Eiganjo to Shinka


23 spells, disruption package on top, below that is my card draw/card selection package, below that is my huge removal/burn package
The new retarded Neoform deck makes me want to add a Mana Tithe as well, next to Pierce and Snare, but I don't know what to cut.


16 threats, Delvers as first line of attack, Pyros go wide, 3 PWs all support my three Geists but can also finish games on their own


SB, Dovin's Veto and Narset are new here, Narset against decks with many cantrips like Phoenix, Storm and Control and against attrition decks for card advantage



These are the results in the MTGO tournament practice room and two FNMs which went 3-0 and 0-3.

During last week I played a slighty updated version with 1 Faithless Looting and 1 Nahiri, the Harbinger (instead of Spell Snare & 3rd Serum Vision). Nahiri has been great even without a real target for her ultimate. She loots away useless lands and exiles pesky creatures and enchantments.

Fiery Islet & Sunbaked Canyon will make this deck even better!
