Getting there —Jan. 16, 2020
So Ive found I die to aggro decks too easily. So I added bonecrushers to keep me alive early game, as well as embercleave to make the clock even faster. Embercleave also makes singular threats more potent to help in midrange and control matchups. I think the deck is getting close to where I want it. Rhythm, domri, and mimic were all too clunky with the stronger game plans of the deck, and I think the deck should run very smoothly now. Hoping to get some good playtesting in these next few weeks and see if it can really perform and also develop a sideboard.

Generator Servant is a bad card, imo. You’re wasting an entire card just to ramp out ONE dude. I would drop him, probably for Eldrazi Skyspawner he still helps ramp, but leaves behind a body as well.

I've definitely considered it the weakest card since I made the deck, but it was a ramp option that I liked. However I think now instead of ramp I'll just add more threats and things to make my threats better. I think skyspawner is a little too ambitious for the colors I've got going right now, but thanks for the input.

Use pain lands in your mana base, unfortunately I dont believe the gruul pain land; Karplusan Forest is legal in pioneer but, Shivan Reef will give you red and colorles, Yavimaya Coast will give you green and colorless, so on. Since oath of the gatewatch they have been retconned to give you colorless mana not just generic. Also look to play Eldrazi Mimic , seems to be good in aggro Eldrazi decks. Hope it helps :)
