That list didn't surprise me that it did well. Lot of disruptive plays in the early to mid, and flexibility with acuity and counterspells with instant speed spells. Looks like a list that could transform pterimander and hybrid with some consistency, adding to your late game. Despite having a few mediocre filler cards, don't think it looks bad at all.

I'd take Chilly. Keeps your colors pretty open being easily splashable (advantage over Aero), and evasive 3/3 body plus tapdown effect is more consistently useful than a big dumb vigilance dood. I don't hate any of the choices, but favor Chillbringer there

Cards in sideboard not used: another Twilight Panther, Sentinel's Mark, Bring to Trial, Drill Bit

Was originally a 17-land deck but after flooding out a bit I cut one Swamp for Haazda Officer. Not sure if it's the best choice because the other cards are also playable. Overall the deck played out fine, it was just grinding. Ill-Gotten Inheritance was great and I would have run more of I had the chance. Pitiless Pontiff was surprisingly mediocre, but then again I only had two afterlife creatures and a 2-mana 2/2 with abilities is never going to be bad. Plague Wight was surprisingly good at attacking past other Orzhov decks, of which I met several. Not only could many of their creatures not block, none of the afterlife spirits could either.

Lost one game to a fast Rakdos start where I was semi-color screwed (only drew one black source with a hand full of black spells), and another to Mesmerizing Benthid + Hydroid Krasis. I forgot to Mortify the Benthid before it became hexproof too, RIP.

This format seems more fun than Eldraine - certain strategies in Eldraine require exact answers, which is annoying. This one is more general.
