With the recent unban of Bloodbraid Elf how would this effect your list? Would it be a card you're considering adding? If so, how many? I would love to hear your thoughts!

21,
It's hard to say. Like we mention in the description, the maindeck represents the "average" competitive Ponza deck, according to MTGdecks, so it will change over time as the average changes. I suspect we'll see some competitive Ponza decks in the next few weeks running Bloodbraid Elf, but even if all of them ran full playsets, it'll take a while to bring the average up.

In the meantime though, there are a bunch of folks brewing with BBE and sharing playtest results over at r/PonzaMTG. Please drop by!

I recently heard of a build using Goblin Dark-Dwellers and Bloodbraid Elf to great success.
