(-1 springleaf drum +1 ravager).. -1 dispatch +1 smuggler copter, -1 caves +1 inkomoth sb will be -1 spellskite +1 dispatch maybe sb -2 ray and -1 spell skite -1 thoughtseize, +2 shrapnel blast and +2 life's legacy?

need to maindeck 2-3 dispatch against aggro matchups, -1 steelshaper's gift -1 arcbound ravager -1 confidant.

necrotic sliver is an answer to stony silence -> otherwise ignore it in the metagame.-1 necrotic sliver +1 tezz-1 whipflare +1 EE <- tez can search for it. 1 dismember

Dispatch need instant speed to kill manlands.

necrotic sliver, bring it back to hand with sword of light and shadow.. >.>

2x shrapnal blast, tezz/cage?

Cool interaction, against living end, sac all creatures to ravager, sac ravager to itself and then all your creatures will get brought back into play when living end resolves so they don't be lost.

Leyline of Sanctity good against murderous redcap and storm and any combo deck that is too fast to win against. Also If leyline of sanctity is out, keranos, god of storms can't target you for a bolt, so your opponent has to either target a creature or themselves. Good against lantern control.

thinking about +2 thoughtcast or something >.>

Suddenshock good against vines and infect.

Bonehoard combos well with ravager, good against dredge. good against stony silence. takeout steelshaper's gift and side this in after sb.Batterskull is good against nahiri and stony silence. if you sacrifice arcbound ravager to itself does it get another modular counter ?- no, because there's no object to put the counter on when the ability resolves

Ancient grudge is good in the mirror and against pithing needle.

am used to the caves of koilos as perfect mana curve.keeping in steelshaper's gift, racing w/ 5th cranial plating unless against infect. against infect just need to win 2 post board games. no removal maindeck should be fine, we are fast enough.

patrick sullivan says don't oversideboard with affinity,try to side in/out 4-6 cards 8 max.-thinking about 1 etched champion, (+1 arcbound ravager -1 steel overseer)-ravager is great against board removal and instant speed with aether vial.

no room in sb for grafdigger's cage, good against snapcasters and dredge and collected company. think thoughknot seer is just better though in terms of being aggressive.

chalice of void against infect sb?ancient grudge is great in the mirror match and against decks with pithing needle/mill (lantern control)

made sb more aggressive..damage driven. also no double color spells so it is easier to cast things.

try out maybe black red affinity w Blackcleave Cliffs and galv blast burn and confidant. selfless spirit sb against tron for indestructible against o stone or pyroclasm?takes away interaction but adds a fast clock.

thalia sb is for infect matchup.

against kataki, make a big ravager and pay 1 each turn.

if you sac ravager to a second ravager, it gets 2 counters, 1 for its own sac an artifact ability and 1 from the modular trigger of the other ravager.

blinkmoth pumps the inkmoth to 2/2.spellskite can't steal a cranial plating that you are trying to equip -do 3 crumble to duststireless tracker better than bygone bishop, you keep priority when cast so can play a land and get the clue token.

grafdigger's cages stops nahiri ult and snapcaster mages.

spellskite for infect matchup and burn.
