I like your username haha

This looks brutal. Running some of my favorite cards. Only thing that stands out as missing in this fine tuned pile is evoke creatures Endurance, Grief, Foundation Breaker and/or Shriekmaw.

I like the Psychic Frog inclusion, especially with Bloodghast. With Grief unfortunately banned, I think Satoru gets quite a bit worse. Definitely something here, though

For what its worth, i went through the modern banlist and made a list of cards i’d rather see unbanned because they’d be less toxic than Uro (note this doesn’t mean i actually want any of these unbanned, just that i think they’d be less broken).

• Ancient Den
• Blazing Shoal
• Deathrite Shaman
• Fury
• Golgari Grave-Troll (3rd time lucky right?)
• Great Furnace
• Green Sun's Zenith
• Grief
• Ponder
• Punishing Fire
• Seat of the Synod
• Seething Song
• Splinter Twin
• Tree of Tales
• Vault of Whispers
• Violent Outburst (this one feels super close/adjacent).
• Yorion, Sky Nomad (not that this one’s on the banlist for a power reason though - and imo it should defo stay banned)

I actually need to go through and finish updating the deck description once I settle on the manabase. I came up with some new tech after discussing with some folks to avoid the need to play a traditional “finisher” like Kessig Wolf Run with 2 amulets and can instead get away with a more complicated line involving Echoing Deeps and eventually transmuting into Cultivator Colossus to then draw into one of the many ways to get dryad into play to then go face with valakut triggers.

I would say we struggle the most with Blood Moon effects and Grief being scammed, tearing apart our hands.

Honestly, otherwise the deck is usually favored slightly.
