Final revisions for a bit —March 6, 2020
After playing around with different combos, I felt myself playing the deck incorrectly. Often times I would get tempted to try and "combo off" too early, or keep an opening hand with the intention of winning by turn 3/4. In the end, this is a stax deck. I like stax. I want to play stax. So the following changes were made with that in mind. In the end the deck is just as powerful but is just focused more on grinding your opponents down.
** Out **
Necrotic Ooze/Phyrexian Devourer: Removed this combo in favor of adding more stax pieces.
Survival of the Fittest: Great card, added to sideboard and will switch in every now and then. I want to play a few games to see how the deck performs without it.
Krark-Clan Ironworks: Out but not forgotten.
Golgari Charm/Yahenni's Expertise: Didnt perform as well as I hoped. Sideboarded
Smokestack: God I love this card, love the art, love how it makes people annoyed, but sadly it was too slow and we didnt have enough fodder to get the numbers high enough.
** In **
Static Orb: I want to slow the game down. This does just that.
Clock of Omens
: There to help break parity with Static Orb/Trinisphere/Winter Orb and help us untap key artifacts Grim Monolith/Mana Vault/Metalworker.
Eldritch Evolution: Added to help us get out Seedborn Muse
Cranial Plating: Turns Glissa or any of the other creatures into power houses. Not rare for it to add 6+ power.
Mycosynth Lattice: Soft lock piece
Exploration/Compost: ** FLEXSPOT** not a permanent card in the deck and will be switched out very often.
Dismember: Oona is harder to remove with the previous boardwipes so this is back in.
