Mardu for GameDay - inspired by Frank Karsten's list from the Pro Tour

Karsten's writeup on his list is available here:

https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/mardu-vehicles-in-kyoto-39th/

My MB is quite similar, except I am only running 10 1-drops (two fewer Inventor's Apprentice) so I can fit two abrade in the opening 60. This makes it a bit more interactive than Karsten's.

I'm also running 1 Thalia, Heretic Cathar because she's pretty good at shutting down Ramunap Red - which is a deck I expect to see at game-day tomorrow.

My mana base has fewer deserts than Karsten because: 1) I'm not running the eldrazi in the SB (don't have them), and 2) I didn't like pinging myself for damage, and didn't honestly use their effects that often in my testing. I also like Shambling Vent as another source of life gain in the deck.

Here's my SB Plan for some key decks:

Control (On the draw):

• Nahiri (+1)

• Chandra (+1)

• Gideon (+1)

• Painful Truths (+1)

• Abrade (+1)

• Glorybrunger (+3)

Out: Toolcraft Exemplar (4), Inventor's Apprentice (2), Aethersphere Harvester (2)

Ramunap Red (on the draw):

• Authority of the Consuls (+1)

• Magma Spray (+2)

• Hour of Glory (+2)

Out: Pia (1), Gideon (2), Scrounger (1), Exemplar (1)
