Trimming a little more excess —Aug. 18, 2021

Reasoning:

  • Karazikar is cool, don't get me wrong. Originally, I thought it would be a means for me to tap down big blockers and get some incidental draw from Goad, or simply because my opponents would rather draw than swing at me. Unfortunately, it was a bit off focus for what this deck wants to do, and also a bit slow to not be part of the main focus.

  • A friend of mine has a Yurlok of Scorch Thrash deck, with Mana Flare in the 99. The idea is that opponents get the extra mana, which is friendly at first, but ultimately turns into mana burn from Yurok if they cannot utilize it all. I thought that Share the Spoils could have a similar effect in this deck, in that it incentivizes more interactive play from the shared pot of cards, but I benefit the most from it thanks to Pact Boon

Other potential swap-ins

If Share the Spoils is not as fun or interesting, I could see that slot being taken by:

My personal takes on what could be cut next for any updates are Karazikar and Disrupt Decorum. I get wanting to have these cards for fun but if there are potential inclusions that synergize with Prosper or your wincons, I note these as cards that do not further these goals (unless I'm missing something with goad). However I could see myself keeping them in just for fun. I like the direction you've taken the deck and ultimately the decision is yours. Cheers

Thanks d_iros! I'd say that Karazikar and Disrupt Decorum are both meta-call inclusions, kinda similarly to how Author of Shadows was. My playgroup spans the Casual Spectrum lol, so board states can get creature heavy at times. There is a Marisi, Breaker of the Coil deck in our meta that does fairly well for that reason. I've run Disrupt Decorum in another deck to decent enough effect. In the times its been played, Disrupt Decorum had a pseudo board-wipe effect, thinned out boards, and usually bought the caster some time to assemble a combo or re-establish their board.

I think if I had to pick between the two, I'd likely cut Karazikar first. I figured the mutual draw would be incentivizing enough to keep some heat off me, and its ability to tap & Goad could help open up some lanes for my smaller attackers.

Cutting Karazikar could give Chandra, Fire Artisan a spot to land back, or even Blasphemous Act, which usually comes down for 1 mana in our games lol.
