You can't escape the gnomes —April 28, 2025

I finally had time to review the deck. It was one of the first deck I made, and I really wanted to adjust some parts, as I felt that it needed some polishing. Also I pulled some amazing cards for it, Warren Warleader and Roaming Throne.

The main change comes from adjusting the lands, especially since Battlefield Forge and Clifftop Retreat got MUCH cheaper since I made the deck. I also decided to remove 2 lands, as I felt 22 lands was a good compromise. Now for new cards: Arabella, Abandoned Doll and Windcrag Siege. The first allows the deck to be more consistent, having somewhat of a second win condition and allows to basically Lightning Helix your opponent each turn even without Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon in play. As for Windcrag Siege, there is not much else to say, a Panharmonicon for attacking. I also adjusted the rest of the cards. I decided to remove the all copies of Voltage Surge copies, as I felt like I do not needed as much removal, but I am not completely sure, so I may end up at some point consider something like Cathartic Pyre. As for anthems, I chose to only keep Case of the Gateway Express, acting both to remove and make the gnomes bigger. At some point, I intend to substitute some for Warleader's Call, but for now too expensive. Finally, a bit of card draw in Thrilling Discovery. I felt like there were many bricked hands, so I considered ok to add some. I am also considering Demand Answers, as sacrificing a gnome makes it card positive, but Thrilling Discovery works good enough for now, and it goes one card deeper.
