Basically just get real fetches and sword of fire and ice for the real deal deck, this is just the strictly worse version for affordability.

If shardless agent becomes modern legal ever then this is a modern deck.

I’ve considered vengevine because I love that card but decided it’s too slow, really good synergy with collected company and shardless agent though, so I’m probably wrong and should include it.

There’s arguments to be made about including crop rotation, and likewise there’s arguments about cutting neoform and even growth spiral. Ramunap excavator is’nt strictly necessary either, he just makes me feel better about the low land count and doing something(deck thinning) going into longer grindier games.

Shardless agent makes this a more aggressive deck which I like, it makes running counters feel kind of bad and makes running neoform feel kind of fun.

The main plan is getting jitte out and on something (lotus cobra is the default) asap, going hierarch into cobra into sword on ~turn 3 can feel pretty brutal, I opted for jitte because it’s the best sword within our mana range, not having real fetches puts us back one mana and prevents the turn 2 sword on snake, jitte is still good and the +2 +2 can help some of our guys dodge bolt, admittedly not snake unless we have exalted, but still it’s good.
