School of Hard Knocks —Nov. 12, 2019
So I pressed forward with the build into league. I have yet to hit an elusive 5-0 but I have come close a few times. I've found a natural enemy to the deck though that required a shift in the sideboard, enchantment removal. It's hard to deal with, especially with enough good enchantment removal sitting around 2 mana that hits a lot of my creatures. While I could go with instant speed color protection I think hard removal is a safer bet since I can then remove at my leisure and not have to have an answer right then and there.
Aside from that I think the deck has a lot of favorable matchups, I just need to be more nuanced about my plays and which hands I decide to keep. Frustrating events were when i was mana flooded or even at times creature flooded which is saying something considering I run 16 creatures, 18 lands, and 26 non creature spells. But that's the name of the game.
I will say the deck seems to be performing well and even can stand up against the feather deck and a lot of the midrange decks. I think at it's heart the deck is a jump between aggro and midrange with the option to do either should the need require it.
I have gone 4-1 a few times but also I've screwed up the chance to a 5-0 due to my own misplays. I can only get better right?
I am also adding silence into the deck as I think it can stop many decks trying to turn the corner and allow me that extra turn to really end the game.
I need to test it more but the first couple games seem more consistent and safe. Going to sideboard feels less sad in terms of selection. Depending on the build I sideboard either almost all of it or none of it which is fine with me. Legionnaire doesn't seem to hurt but I need further data. Most of my league experiences with the original build was either 2-3 or 3-2. I'll hit a few leagues with the new build and see how it pans out. If I can 4-1 that would be a nice improvement.

this looks very similar to a Feather, the Redeemed shell do you think he would fit in well?

Like the update. Hopefully, the card selection off of Tenth District Legionnaire will be worth 2 mana, I feel like with the haste and the extra power it's a good call. My experience with Scry is that it's highly underrated and a very powerful effect. How's Ajani's Presence working out? I feel like +1 is pretty bad, but it's probably your best bet for protection and a power boost without splashing green.
