shard convergence seems like just what the Alara ordered!

So about that Wandering Ones... did you mean Wandering Goblins? Or maybe it just needs to be replaced with a random card? If not I take Wandering Ones for the surprise potential.

Wandering Goblins

I don't think we want the Fallout or the counter. Not sure about the Rats, though. We do have Blightning.

Rats works well with nyax. Wandering goblins is strong for sure, but I think fallout is a viable option as well. Shard convergence is good as well, but its kinda late ramp.

Rotting rats is the best pick here with the nyax.

Wandering goblins looks like the worst rootwalla ever.

Its better than rootwalla because you can activate it multiple times. Its easily splashable since it only requires 1 red to cast. Its a decent finisher because it can easily become a 10 power or more creature, but its also a decent blocker earlier on. The issue is that with 4 colors is its lowest playable level. If we dedicated to 5 color, he's easily playable.

My brain is telling me Shard Convergence was called "Shart convergence"

But my gut tells me it is good.

Wandering Goblins is really, really expensive.

Wandering goblins is a playable creature, but I'm not advocating it in this case. (though it could have haste... lol)

Shambling Remains. And I think we should go back to draft Jund.

Pestilent Kathari. We're in black and red, and leaving the mana open makes him a great blocker or huge pain to block.
