Tonight was interesting rounds are below
Round one Naya Treasure Control? 1-2 To be honest I have no idea what to call this. Game one I got it pretty easily games two and three he played massive amounts of treasures used Fall of Thran, Sandwurm convergence, fumigate, settle the wreckage. The two times I duressed his hands he had three of four. Just no way to deal with that kind of combo without getting ahead.
Round two Mono Green Stimpy 2-0 Ghonti and Noxious kept me ahead and Vaevictus kept me there once I flipped journey and cycled Ghonti's from the graveyard it was a wrap!
Round three Izzet Conjecture 2-0 This was a nest deck but game 1 I got a Journey flipped turn 3 play Vaevictus turn 5 made him Sac lands until I won I just sacrificed Vaevictus every combat brought him back right after until game one was over. Game two turn one land elf turn two land elf turn 3 torgaar and turn 5 dead.
Round 4 mono Blue/Artifact 0-2 Game one was super aggro blue weenies and I had 3 mana for 7 turns played the same Brontodon twice since it kept getting bounced. Game two was a very nice sideboard tech of Heart of Kiran, Kefnet, and Weatherlight and Tempest Djinn. Used Torgaar to make my life total 10 a couple times but absolutely no card draw or filter was played what so ever.
All in all the deck performs well where I expected it to and just kind of screwed me a couple times. I can say happily that my deck lost the games and not misplays or missed triggers or opportunities.
Really fun deck! it hits home for me i love a reanimator style deck. so with the rotation luming have you thought about replacements for this?
Liliana, the Necromancer , Rise from the Grave would help. check out my deck thats pretty close to yours but with dragons

Sideboarding guide? Can you give general tips for playing vs Red Deck Wins, RB Aggro, UW control and Turbo Fog? Thanks in advance!

israfil sure thing! For aggro decks always sideboard in the removal take out things like the bestiary, combustible gearhulk, and tormenting voice. RD wins I'd go for abrade/cast down and sweltering sun's. Turbo fog and other control match up swap the same items for duress and blood fast. Many other midrange type decks you can use siege gang to flood the board and just blow up goblins after declaring blockers to protect your life total and peck away at your opponent. Bestiary is a great card but sometimes that turn 2/3 play could be better spent with solid advantage between blood fast or removal vs aggro decks.

I've tried your tech out on the table a few matches. I'm speaking out of my own personal tastes so take it as you may. This is a competitive brew but too awkward for my tastes. I found a lot of strange hands that ended up actually winning once, but to a poor deck, however. Maybe your experience has been a lot different.
Changes would definitely be a better mana base. I'm not completely in tune with this build so I'm assuming Sheltered Thicket would be the first card to put in over Aether Hub. If only to allow a cycle here and there would be my thought. But overall the mana has been quite smooth.
I've been brewing G/B Journey that is more weenie-value orientated. I feel like that has a much easier time with mana and easy to respond to opponents actions more.
Well... love the deck anyhow!
