Dominaria kicking about —April 27, 2018

So with the coming new set, I've been spotting several cards that might have a fit in this deck. Of course, this will have to be tested and would love input from people around the Tappedout network. The main cards I've been looking to include are the following:

-Jaya's Immolating inferno: Seems like an actual good fit for the deck, since treasures are running amock here.

-Jaya Balard: Been debating this card. She's very narrow in terms of actually letting us cast stuff, but the +1 on discarding and drawing cards is something that I consider really good. If I'd run the aforementioned Inferno, I think (THINK) that this card might be great there.

-Skizzik: Seems cool, Kicker of R is really easy to achieve, plays nicely with Sunbird's Invocation and provides a cool clock, also attracting removal away from things like Glorybringer and Phoenix.

-Verix Bladewing: Activating Kicker with treasures seems cool. Nice Dragon.

-Karn, Scion of Urza: Provides semi-impuslive card draw, done by oppo's. Gaining 1 and being able to regain the other seems good. However, what I'm really interested in is the -2. For each artifact +1/+1? With treasures? Seems good.

-Gilded Lotus: Because this card if great. That's about it.

As for the Deck itself: Sideboard tech actually has been performing well. Pirate's Pillage is much better than thought in the first place. Magma Spray is currently underperfoming in my local meta, due to a lack of zombies/eternal dudes. Sweltering Suns is ocationally good, but is more or less cycled every game. Might want to change that one.

Current standings in terms of rounds (not games, rounds) won: 25-18-6. Seems good.

Etali's been doing a lot of cool things. Slamming down a Phoenix of my own and stealing an opponents Hazoret are incredibly fun. The thing is, it's either a removal magnet, or an eater of chumpblockers, while still getting attack triggers. Didn't think Etali would be this impactful to be honest.
