Took out the fighting effects and the +x/+x buffs.. they look cool on paper but most of the time I'm just sitting with no hand - and drawing a fighting spell isn't gonna change that.

so I changed it up a little, will have to adjust the description later. Put in a Maelstrom Wanderer which is huge CMC-wise but should give a nice effect when played. Will have to be careful I don't put him into the field with Tooth and Nail or Defense of the Heart. Put in a Wheel of Fate for more draw, Rishkar's Expertise same, let's me cast a <5cmc for free too so should be very nice, and a Pull from Tomorrow that I found in my Ahmonket pile. People kept Darksteel Mutation'ing my Thunderfoot Baloth so more bounce should help protect my creatures as well. Drag Under looks nice, but there are a few more cheaper spells that might work better - actually, I think I'll go ahead and add Coastal Breach instead, 4 cmc (3 opp.) bounce all boards does seem very interesting. It's not one-sided like Cyclonic Rift so it shouldn't be a problem in my playgroup.

Put in Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Hunted Troll for more politics... Speed, burn, removal.. they're all very nice to help give us an advantage, but I gotta keep in mind that this is a multiplayer game. For 1vs1, Yeah, I'd throw in all the Brainstorms, Brute Forces, Giant Growths, and Serum Visions I can find. but this isn't 1vs1 so we can take it slightly easier on ourselves.

You need sac outlet? Brion Stoutarm is one of best for that situation.

Would love to! But he has so can't play him :(

I think I'll put in the Birthing Pod.

Hmm while those are instant-speed, they're pretty underwhelming. I'd rather sacrifice their creature and put one of mine into the battlefield.

Having more than one sac outlet creates more consistency. Yes, Birthing Pod is the optimal sac outlet, but Goblin Bombardment and Shivan Harvest are both fine as well. Some other great sac outlets are Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar.
