Played a lot this weekend. went 0-3 at FNM not winning a single game. Got blown out by r/g aggro, w/u control, and something else. Decided that the Metallic Mimics needed to come out. While I think they synergize really well, with so much removal in the format the lord needs to have an immediate impact. I got 2 more Blooming Marsh so I added those just to solidify the mana base. I added another Fatal Push, Driven / Despair, and also am trying out Journey to Eternity
Flip and Growing Rites of Itlimoc

After FNM I went 2-1 at a standard showdown.The first round I played against my friend's mono black control that I always lose to. Second round I blew out a r/g aggro list by removing his mana dork with fatal push and then turn 2 Saproling Migration turn 3 Sporecrown Thallid turn 4 Driven / Despair. Drawing 3 and making them discard 3 is very powerful and he wasn't able to catch back up. I managed to do this both games. Third round was a budgetish list of u/w control, not running any walkers or History of Benalia so I just played around Fumigate and Settle the Wreckage and slowly chipped away at him. Second game I got a Skysovereign, Consul Flagship out and killed him a bit faster. I am pretty sure both of these games I hit him with a driven//despair for 2 as well. This card can really do work.
Played another showdown on Sunday.I got destroyed again by a flying r/g list with phoenixes and glorybringer's. I then won against the counter surge challenger deck and a r/b control list.
Overall happy with how the deck is at this point, probably update the sideboard with a bit of graveyard hate, but we will see how next week's FNM goes.
