What was a pre-con is now a much more fun version, for me, at least!

I still feel like 35 lands is a bit low, even for a deck that kinda doesn't want to draw lands too often, and an Izzet Signet is definitely missing from the list, but I don't know what to remove for more mana rocks just yet, this build is brand new. I think I need some artifact removal, a la Smash to Smithereens, I feel that there are better spells out there, though. Also thought about adding Divine Visitation, especially since Storm Herd and Increasing Devotion and their Ilk are potential Bombs, but I want to see if creating tokens is a viable strategy with all the Mass Destruction included.

The way I'd like to pilot this is to be as Reactionary as possible, in a perfect game, the first 4 turns would be: (draw, play land, go) turn 5 Elsha, and then by 6 or 7 be in the drivers seat, slinging sorceries and enchantments from the top of the deck at the end of everyone else's turns. I only have one Vedalken Orrey and it's in my Kadena deck, wreaking all kinds of havoc, not sure if it would be overkill at the 4-cmc spot.

I haven't decided on adding in Approach of the Second Sun or any other types of altwincon, as Dig Through Time works great with it, so after some playing, I'll be ready to make some cuts, if you know of more useful additions, comments are appreciated.

29.oct.2019 First game: Lost spectacularly, too many high CMC cards in hand, drew 7 early extra cards but couldn't capitalize on anything.

Vs. emmara tokens and Gisa Tokens.

Still playing...
