Hey NikontheBlack, great job! :D

I suggest swapping out Murder for Never so you can kill planeswalkers and play it from the graveyard. Also, I don’t see Thoughtseize or other 1-drop discard spells, which may bring down your curve a little. But you probably have a good reason for not including them.

zAzen7977 thanks for the input! I considered Never with the initial build, but didn’t care for the sorcery speed. Although you’re right, there’s no way to deal with planeswalkers, which is a glaring issue, so I’ll put it back in the maybe section. Thoughtseize was definitely in the first version (and a few iterations after), but I took it out. I love the low curve, clearly, but I had to make room for a few other pieces and doing just one card didn’t feel like it was worth the investment. I think after some more testing if it isn’t fast enough or I simply need 1-2 more actual spells I will be putting it (and honestly probably Mind Rake ) back in the mix as well.

May I suggest Davriel from War of the Spark?

SquirrelPenguin thanks for the suggestion! I had him in my original 99, but found other punisher cards that I liked better. Granted he’s a walker and is arguably harder to kill, I just found it hard to keep him slotted in. That could change, though!

Murderous Rider hits planeswalkers and creatures at instant speed and can be a blocker too.

Rocketman988 you know, I completely forgot about that guy. I might even have the alternate boarder version of it from the Eld pre-release.. love that secret tech! I think it can go in place of Murder .
