Now that you've seen it, this is my problem:

I didn't have many chances to play the deck, so there might be obvious things to change that I haven't realized yet. But from what I've experienced so far, I don't like how the deck plays. When my opponents know how to play around Kibo, he doesn't do much and the bananas help them more than they help me. It basically feels like I'm giving them every choice while not having a way to have an impact on the game. I've been pondering dismantling the deck, but the idea is simply too cool, so I wanna give Kibo a last chance to impress me.

I'll propably edit this post quite often to better explan my thought process, and hopefully, the deck will change quite a bit over the next weeks.

Do you have input on how to make me like the deck more? I'm very open for suggestions, so thanks a lot to everybody in advance!

Cheers!

I'm not sure... it seems like a great Kibo list.

Caerwyn: Thanks! I couldn't find the proper sub forum so thought this was the correct one.

Optimator: It still feels more like a grouphug that doesn't know it is. Since starting the thread, I added some payoffs for helping opponents cast their stuff. Feels like a way to solve my problem.

Less targeted artifact destruction (the monkeys that do it are basically enough), more mass destruction like Meltdown, Ratchet Bomb, and Angrath's Rampage.

Your opponents need to be made very aware that the bananas have an expiration date, and trying to hoard them for one big turn risks you popping them all at once and killing them with giant monkeys.

Kelad: Even though I already dismantled the deck a while ago, this is great advice! Thank you very much, this might be exactly what the deck needed. I'm not sure if I'll rebuild it, but at least I'll absolutely consider your advice if I do so.
