So some new stuff happened. Article confirmed I was headed the right direction with the Blossom plan.

Yeah that's the idea. Not sure how good it is but prowess is one hell of an ability

Honestly, I'm feeling it's very weak. You can only cast it within the turn and in midrange, you want to responding and not proactive until later in the game. It's also a hell of a lot easier to kill. 1 extra thoughness is huge with all the 1/1's in the format. Also, lifeline is invaluable while playing against aggro, dropping a seeker demands a response in any aggro deck and it can be used very aggressively if need be. Seeker of the Way is much better.

That's very insightful. I agree with you. I wish seeker wasn't so easily killed though.

Yea, but finding a 2 mana investment that doesn't die easily is hard. That's why goyf is so good. You could try Gurmag Angler again, but he's been difficult to cast in the past.

Can't have angler in a Dark Confidant deck. Flip that- dead but i have been liking the blossoms a lot. Could see going down to 3 though

Oh right XD don't know how I missed that small detail... How about dropping a 4th Bitterblossom for a Seeker of the Way?

Hey Varmy. What are your thoughts on some of the new origins cards?
Pia and Kiran Nalaar has a very Huntmaster of the Fells feel. It's repeatable removal and a lot of bodies.
Abbot of Keral Keep also seems playable. It's a fine turn 2 play that stays relevant late game. It's often a straight 2-1.
Good luck.

Yo wassup tooTimid I'm willing to give the parents a shot here. I'm not sure they are quite on par with huntmaster considering the mana investment that comes with the damage but diversifying threats could be a good thing since they at least make 1 for 1 removal a little worse against them.
Abbot is a no go. The Prowess is great but you can never cast him on time. It's a high risk casting him any time before turn 4 which here is to late. I can see him being alright in faster aggro decks though like boros prowess or suicide zoo where you can pretty much always play what you flip.

Woah ... I just realized something ...
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death with Huntmaster of the Fells Flip and Pia and Kiran Nalaar in a nice Jund build.
Yay.

Femme_Fatale someone on site has a deck that does that. I forgot who. If only alesha was a 1/4 or something:(

I don't mind her as a 3/2. It basically gives me reason to put her as a 3 of and stick Basilisk Collar in there. Awesome thing is is that Basilisk Collar has even greater synergy with Pia and Kiran Nalaar.
But I'll stop filling your deck with info of my deck.

I like a few of those.
I think the most likely will be
Seeker/other prowess bear
Tidehollow
Packrat.
