So I just blew through the Gold ranks to get platinum with this deck. Seems pretty strong in the meta. Tons of discard make Nullhide Ferox a beast. Half the folks don't even know about his discard ability. They usually rage quit when they Thought Erasure him. Happens every 5 Esper games or so. Then it does very well in the Grixis matchups too. Nothing like holding on to Ferox waiting for the Bolas to drop.

Sometimes can have a hard time against Mono W aggro, but I don't play it much. Does fine against RDW unless they draw the nuts. 70-30 against Esper. Just slugged it out with this B/G deathtouch deck. It was rough, but The Immortal Sun pulled the win out.

Struggles in the air unless you +1 Vivien, Champion of the Wilds to give reach. Vivien is also a beast against control. As long as little Teferi doesn't drop being able to play this creature based deck at control speed is awesome.

Oketra is a great win-con. Did very well against those deathtouch critters too with it's double strike ability. If no answer/sweeper, Oketra wins the game. It's a must answer too. All the little critters help stabilize your mana and ramp you into bigger stuff early on and aren't dead cards late game with Oketra on the board.

Didn't think Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves was necessary, but two bodies and another kill spell for white is awesome. Also gives you 2 Legendary creatures to activate Mobilized District. Solid card. Rarely take it out, unless against creatureless control.

The sideboard will exile every creature based deck away. Lyra for Drakes. Might not need Settle the Wreckage, so could use a replacement for them?

Been wanting to craft this for a minute but so. many. rares.

Yeah I guess there is a bunch.

No Flower // Flourish? Doesn't that go in any Selesnya deck anymore?

Well, Bo1 gold is apparently not where this deck belongs. That's sad for I'd like to like it, but RDW and anything flying just wins
7-13 record, went Bo1 for I don't have Lyras. Maybe Bo3 is better, but from my understanding, you played Bo1 as well?

Last 2 games were extremely unlucky in the end, but still, wouldn't have been a satisfying record.

Given the meta of that run, Goblin Chainwhirler and Rekindling Phoenix are where you want to be.

With so many RDW decks, Incubation druid may be the correct card over Paradise.

I have an edited version for BO1. Removes Vivien's for Wildgrowth and Gideon. But yeah, fliers will always win. Im 60-40 against RDW. For BO1, I've been playing a modified Gruul variant based off Elk's deck. I'm stuck in the Platinum Tier 1 though. Can't get to diamond.

Thanks for the list, maybe I'll try that tomorrow - currently working on Gruul.

How about Blast Zones to at least fix the Mono blue matchup? The man land hardly came up for me.

That's a good idea. I seem to have more problems with mana fixing on two color decks than 3. Maybe it's in my head? All those mono colored lands.
