After the Pro Tour Guilds of Ravnica despite remaining free to play even I was starting to see players running the white aggro build. Card for card pretty much at least for what I saw.

Not wanting to jump on that particular wagon and having running decks for quests but what I consider 4 Tier 2 builds 2 of which are Golgari in recent days through play I have opened 2 Mythic rares. The current wildcard count is:-

16 common
2 uncommon
2 rare
1 mythic

The Q as ever is what to spend them on. I have a fairly good Dimir surveil control deck but no Doom Whiperers.

I post my 4 Tier 2 Decklists, Q is what do you think the best choices would be for upgrade ?

Preferred Pronoun Set: Mr.
Demon of Catastrophes would go great in your Vraska deck.
Sac a saproling.

Nice one! 4 mana for a 6/6 flier with trample! It’s rare so it’s a 1 of but a nice add as currently the deck has no evasion creature though it has the anti flyer protection. A decent shout! Thanks. SD

Edit: I had not realised but had 1 already but was in sideboard but yes converted for second and swapping 2 of the murders for the Demons so will see how it runs. SD

Edit. I purchased a paper copy of Ral Planeswalker Caller of Storms deck. This gives you a code for a digital version in Arena! Nice. I did some surgery to make it more spell focused and replaced the bought Ral with Ral, Izzet Viceroy.

Again appreciate any advice on using the remaining wildcards to refine and tune further!
