But what about Bontu's Last Reckoning? —July 19, 2023
This deck's big weakness is that it often sits there doing nothing while it's non-creatures win, this is a 3 mana wipe (meaning you should be able to cast it with a Thalia out) that will ensure nobody is swinging at me next turn (baring haste), and the only cost is that a deck that probably doesn't need mana (the board is already cleared) doesn't have mana. It seems like an obvious choice for a sideboard card that 'solves' go-wide decks this list struggles vs.
The remaining issue is Initiative/Monarch/Whatever Annoying BS WotC Does Next, which explicitly care about creatures? I can kill creatures pretty well, but if they get Initiative just for ETBing I'm in a lot of trouble I think? That said, if this deck draws well it should usually be a quick game, where those Initiative creatures seem relatively clunky afaik, this deck can beat some pretty fast decks on a good hand, I'm not actually TRYING to have a long game, I'm just prepared for the inevitability of them now and then.
