Good Morning,
I was playtesting a few hands with your deck the other day, and once I got the hang of it, it consistently beat one of mine I was working on. For snorts and giggles, I ran it up against Ravager cicra 2004 just to see what it would do.
vs. Ravager - Aeo Paquette, 2nd at Worlds 2004
Game 1: No mulligans. I'm keeping Island, Sewers, Stock Up, Thor, Flashback, and Reef. I'm a little concerned it's a slow hand for what I'm up against, and I'm on the draw. He opens with Seat of the Synod, Welding Jar, and Arcbound Worker. I draw a Resonating Lute and surveil, dropping Shoot the Sheriff because I need red more than I need to kill the regenerator. He swings for one, plays Glimmervoid, Arcbound Ravager, and Frogmite. I draw land, play the Reef, and take four to the face while he taps out for Cranial Plating. I could have Stocked Up instead, which would have left me tapped out instead of sitting on nothing while he drops a Disciple of the Vault, clobbers me for 13, and sacs me down to zero.
Game 2: I need as much fast defense as possible. I took out 2x Resonating Lute and the Deadly Cover-Up to make room for 2x Avengers Whateveritis and the Tidebender. On the play, I mulligan to 6 and keep a hand with Thundering Falls, 2x Flashback, Fire Magic, Quantum Riddler, and Thor. Turn 1, I surveil something that's not a land. He answers with Vault of Whispers, Ornithopter, Welding Jar, and Disciple of the Vault. I draw not a land and Fire his Disciple. Would have loved to take the 0/2 with it, but I can't have that bulls..t around. He answers with Seat of the Synod and Somber Hoverguard. I TD a Demolition Field and wait for some black so I can flashback a Requiting Hex. He answers my nothing with thee damage and a Glimmervoid, 2x Thoughtcast, and a Frogmite. I topdeck a Stock Up. I need a black. Or something so I can Stock up into something else. While I'm waiting, he drops Cranial Plating and attacks for 12, bring me to 5. My final draw is a Blazemire Verge, which I honestly belive is your deck's way of telling me to eff-off for putting it through that.
