I think Gleaming Geardrake could be a suitable replacement for Bomat Courier. It's not as fast as the courier, but it has evasion and it adds an additional artifact for your combo on turn two.

If cards are exiled face down, that means the information needs to stay hidden. Bomat Courier will exile cards that you will only get access to if you discard your hand, you're not allowed to compare the exiled cards with your hand before making that choice.

Doomsday Excruciator exiles most of all libraries, and exiled face-down, because it needs to be a secret what the remaining cards are. That's always the reason to Exile face-down.

As it’s probably slowing you down in all those non-control matchups.

Yeah it's okay-ish since theres only 2 copies in there, but if I know that I'm not up against control I wouldn't put it in the main board that's right.

Bomat Courier looks very good, thank you for the suggestion! I'll grab a playset and see if they work out :)

Yeah there is potential for Experimental Frenzy to be useful versus control if your opponent lets it resolve. Maybe it’s better as a sideboard card? As it’s probably slowing you down in all those non-control matchups.

Bomat Courier might be a more aggressive option for this card advantage route - it’s low mana cost allows it to slip passed countermagic easier, and if left unanswered nets you a whole new hand!

Of course, I'm glad those recs were to your liking. If you're looking to trim down at your 6 slot a bit more, I think you could probably swap out Etali & Gleam of Battle. I used to play Etali and it felt very boom or bust. The times it popped off were memorable, but more often than not it just sat a turn rotation & ate removal before it could swing.

• Connecting the Dots is something I've been looking at as a kinda Bomat Courier effect for all your creatures. Could be worth for those times you're in topdeck mode.

• The new Agrus Kos, Spirit of Justice is also another 4 drop that could be worth checking out for the removal & politicking. The cool thing about Suspect is that you could technically use it on your own creatures for the Menace evasion.

I'm sure you'll have a blast with this once you have it built in paper. The kind of combats this deck can have once it gets its motors going are a lot of fun

Coward_Token lol Connecting the Dots is just "What if all your creatures could be Bomat Courier with less downside?"

Cards I recommend:

Felhide Petrifier for obvious reasons.

Bomat Courier to test. You need a one drop creature. Felhide Brawler possibly. I do not like Felhide Minotaur, the Petrifier is better and you need all your 3 drops to be worth it. I know Ragemonger helps in that regard.

Metallic Mimic :)

Fatal Push over Cast Down/Murder. Even Terminate is better. Dreadbore if you want to start a sideboard.

Just some thoughts. Happy building!
