Agitator Ant

Creature — Insect

OUT: Agitator Ant, Orzhov Advokist, Death-Greeter's Champion, Doomskar Warrior

IN: Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, Railway Brawler, Rhythm of the Wild

The next round of Improvements. While I like the cards like the Agitator Ant and Orzhov Advokist, they potentially give my opponents a leg up later in the game. Replacing them with things that help my board more is generally better.

Next up will be helping the land base out a little bit more.

OUT: Evolutionary Escalation, Strionic Resonator, Taurean Mauler

IN: Halana and Alena, Partners, Arwen, Weaver of Hope, Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion

Mauler is a single, slow burn creature with no evasion (unlike the Managorger Hydra already in the list).

The Evolutionary Escalation was a big target and doesn't provide any protection (unlike the Agitator Ant or Orzhov Advokist already in the list).

And Strionic Resonator could be good, but has limited use in this version of the deck.

Each replacement should help keep my deck moving along better than what I took out.

In: Boon-Bringer Valkyrie, Agitator Ant, Evolution Sage, Orzhov Advokist, Evolutionary Escalation, Swiftfoot Boots, Botanical Brawler

A larger update in an effort to build counters. Taking out superfluous or higher value one shot effects for things that can provide counters regularly. This also lowered my curve ever so slightly.

Spectacular Showdown. Here is the best card in your deck. keep in mind the doublestrike will also cause Firkraag's second ability to trigger twice per hit your opponents get on each other. Avatar of Slaughter, Total War, and Disrupt Decorum are probably the other best ones for killing everything.

Each of these are also good considerations depending on how you build. Agitator Ant | Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer | Chaos Dragon | Goblin Spymaster | Sly Instigator | Goblin Diplomats | Grand Melee | Master Warcraft | Total War | War's Toll |

Do you think cards like Emberwilde Captain, Leyline of Combustion, or Agitator Ant would help to deflect attention? The creatures wouldn't survive your boardwipes, but they're another layer of protection.

If you want more pillows, Agitator Ant and Kitt Kanto, Mayhem Diva are good options. The Ant is itself a second copy of Orzhov Advokist.

If you value having K&T on the battlefield as soon as possible (I do), consider running Fellwar Stone, Skyshroud Elf, Tiller Engine, Voyaging Satyr and Portent Tracker. The last three are great with your bouncelands (Azorius Chancery and the like).

If you can get the rest of Tangled Islet's cycle (Sacred Peaks, Molten Tributary, Cinder Glade, Canopy Vista, Prairie Stream), suddenly Farseek, Nature's Lore and Three Visits allow you perfect fixing of your colors.

Also, 33 lands + Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip might not be enough to hit your land drops. I run 36 lands on my K&T build. Also also, Mossfire Valley, Sungrass Prairie and Skycloud Expanse help a lot on getting the right colors for your commander.

You probably want Druid of Purification in your build: it is a really strong and political removal spell. It also hits hexproofed permanents (great plus in my opinion) and never hurts you.

All in all, I hope you and your opponents have fun with this build - cheers!
