Meta Shifts —April 16, 2020

with the hell hole landscape that is astrolabe / prime time modern.. I have a few updates

Main: +1 Repeal, +1 Talisman of Dominance, +1 Karn, Scion of Urza, -1 Remand, -1 Walking Ballista, -1 Mindslaver

I missed having the third repeal against T3feri and small creatures so i've chosen to reinclude it. The play of be able to repeal a sundering titan vs nonsense manabases is also quite funny. I am normally not a fan of Talisman but being able to turn 3 Karn, Ugin (with tron) and just having an extra blue source that can also give us colorless through a bloodmoon is quite nice. I've chosen to include this karn as I've been losing a fair number of late games that I thought I had wrapped up because of a lack of threats in the deck. Karn making creatures and drawing a card every turn is to help mitigate this.

side: +1 Tormod's Crypt, +3 Spreading Seas, +1 Aether Gust, -3 Ceremonious Rejection, -1 Relic of Progenitus, -1 Thought-Knot Seer

RG Ponza midrange continues to be dominant and we need more answers. Spreading seas hits this deck fairly well by disrupting their Utopia Sprawl plan as well as being able to shut them off Green if they fetch poorly. Spreading seas is additionally still decent vs the tron decks we were using Ceremonious for. Another gust is also for RG Ponza midrange as well as the still ever present (and horrible matchup) Amulet Titan. I've chosen to include Tormod's Crypt over the 4th relic as it is a way to lock up a graveyard indefinitely with Academy Ruins but we can also tutor for it with tolaria west if needed.
