Updates to the list after 1.5 initial games —Aug. 26, 2025
Played two games (didn't finish the second). After some thinking, I replaced the following cards:
All non-basics (excluding Command Tower) for 3 Snow-Covered Swamps and 2 Snow-Covered Forests. Didn't run into specific issues, but after thinking about some of my goldfish games, Early Harvest works better if I can untap all my lands. Will see how things develop.
Sol Ring and Farseek with Harrow and Entish Restoration. Sol Rin was in the deck....because it's Sol Ring, and Farseek as an easy way to get my duals out. I chose the latter cards as they both get at least two land cards out of the deck at instant speed, making drawing into impactful cards much easier.
Blasphemous Edict with Dead of Winter. Didn't get a chance to use it yet, but given that all my lands are basic now, a 3-cmc boardwipe that scales is fantastic. Will see how things develop.
Command Tower and Collector's Vault for Blessed Respite and Repopulate. Graveyard protection is a must -- my graveyard was threatened in both games, and only for minor reasons did the hate not get played. I would add more, but going down to 36 lands is already problematic -- further games will reveal if I can add another piece (probably would be Endurance).
And finally, Diabolic Tutor and Increasing Ambition with Wishclaw Talisman and Illicit Shipment. Wishclaw is effectively Grim Tutor with a slight downside, and Illicit Shipment is two-for-one, if Old Stickfingers is sacrificed.
I will have to see how things are with the new list, but I'm hopeful that it will tighten the deck some more.
