Upgrades, musings on sideboard + future upgrades —Feb. 9, 2017

I'm going to try swapping out Isperia, Supreme Judge, Augury Owl, Glacial Wall, Turn to Mist, Rest in Piece, Augury Owl, and Custodi Squire. I love all these cards, but I had to choose something. They'll all stay in the sideboard, for sure.

Adding Oblivion Ring, Plumeveil, Darksteel Mutation, Wall of Nets, Wall of Tears, Propaganda. More pillow and more control/answers. Gonna try the wall route! I bought a Fog Bank for Brago but put it in Coral Capers -- (Budget Seamonsters). If i need more control I have copies of Oblation and Banishing Light. Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile are out of budget for the foreseeable future.

I got a Cloud of Faeries but I don't know what I'd take out for it. Doesn't pop off with Deadeye Navigator either.

I bought a Hover Barrier but I feel it's the weakest of the walls that I could add, though I don't hate it for it's CMC. Guard Gomazoa would've been strictly better perhaps, now that I think about it. Got a Mnemonic Wall too, but I don't think it'll pop off with the number of instants and sorceries I have. It's mana-expensive, too--being a common and all. I'm still planning on getting a Wall of Denial someday.

I bought another Blue Sun's Zenith to potentially slide into this deck. It is solid card-draw by itself and I have Deadeye Navigator + Great Whale/Peregrine Drake to potentially mill someone out. Not a fan of infinites but it is a three-piece combo and the cards have utility by themselves. Might put it in soon.

I also got a Quarry Colossus and Luminate Primordial, which are quite popular for Brago decks. Not sure what they're better than though.
