Taking a break from the current meta Ponza and playing around with an alternative build that I find even more fun :). So far my feeling is that it grinds better whilst being worst against explosive decks. Which overall makes it a weaker deck in my opinion, but it is important to have fun :D.

Changelog

FNM

  • 1-2 vs BG Yawgmoth undying combo
  • 0-2 vs UR Worms
  • 0-2 vs U Mill
  • 2-1 vs BGR Indomitable Creativity

Thoughts

First time picking magic cards in three or so years, was rusty as one can expect. Used what I had in my deckbox without making any changes, the list differs from the latest changelog and can be seen below. In general, I felt there were too many fun-offs. Since the deck, apart from being fun, was a bit of a meta choice when I created it lacked the sting it had in the past. Thinking of going back to some more old-school Ponza for my next FNM, instead of a tuned version of this. Will be fun to see how well I can do with just old cards :).

Cards I think should be replaced in MB

  • 2-0 vs Eldrazi tron
  • 2-1 vs UR Prowess

Thoughts

Deck felt inconsistent, either flood or screw. Theorethically I think it should be quite stable, but didn't feel like it today. Will be going back to play some "normal" Ponza for next week and perhaps a few more after that.

Thoughts

Don't really remember, but a combination of playing poorly and having below average draws I'd say.

  • 2-1 vs Uro reclamation field
  • 2-1 vs Obosh KiKKi Tower Guard Ponza
  • 2-1 vs Urza Thopter sword
  • 0-2 vs Valakut dryad value

Thoughts

Feeling that I need another land, so will add a Forest. Then thinking that I should perhaps trim the number of 5-drops (6 currently) whilst also wanting 1-2 Birds of Paradise. Have forgotten my thoughts on the sideboard but it probably needs a small overhaul. A single Ox of Agonas would also be nice I think, so much to fit so little room :(.

  • 2-1 vs Skred red
  • 0-2 vs Lurrus Hardened Scales
  • 1-2 vs Saheli Cat combo
  • 2-0 vs UW Control

Thoughts

Had my fair share of bad luck tonight. Had average to bad draws in general and got shafted with mulls down to 4 and 3 in my losses. Both of those mulls where 1 land on the 7 and then 0 lander repeatedly. Due to this, I think I will go ahead with changing Domri, Anarch of Bolas to a Forest. Elder Gargaroth felt fine, never felt that I rather have a Ox of Agonas. That said I didn't think they were better than Glorybringer. I didn't get to try Sarkhan Vol that much (had in hand one time against UW control but never played), hopefully I will get to play him next time. Overall I like where the main deck is at. Sideboard-wise I'm pondering adding Anger of the Gods and Abrade again. Feeling a lack of creature removal if I need to play control-ish against creature-based combo decks.

  • 2-0 vs Red aggro/prowess with Lurrus
  • 2-1 vs WG Eldrazi and taxes
  • 1-2 vs BR Midrange (Skelemental, Kroxa, Spyro)
  • 2-1 vs UR Delver

Thoughts

Think I will change Ox of Agonas to Elder Gargaroth to see how it works out. Can only escape one Ox per game if not super long. Also feeling that Embercleave is a bit lackluster (whilst super fun). Sideboarding it most of the time so will swap to Sarkhan Vol to see if can live x-mas-land and haste my Gargaroth's. Haste feels relevant for other parts of the deck as well being able to untap an exerted Glorybringer, stealing from the enemy could come in hand once in a while as well as the ult not far away if only plus'ing. Hopefully, an FNM or two will let me know if it is better or worse than Arlinn Kordfoil   which is similar. Also pondering if I should go up to 21 lands, Domri, Anarch of Bolas being the current prime suspect for removal.

Don't remember the mathcups.
