So I decided that the Loam Pox version isn't very good with blue over red. So I want to scrap most of the aggro idea and make it really grindy. In comes the Loam/Raven's Crime Combo, and a gifts ungiven package with thopter foundry.

I'm currently set up to fail against graveyard hate so aside from disenchant effects I want to play some Eternal Scourge out of the sideboard and see how it works becoming more aggressive/resilient than reliant on the graveyard. It also gives me something to do if a Blood Moon lands way too early.

I think the sideboard should also be able to get a little more controlly by leveraging blue for some counter spells to the sideboard. I originally tried to run Cryptic in the main to run some eternal command shenanigans as well but the mana base was stretched to hard between triple blue and as much black as possible to ravens crime repeatedly.

The first time running the deck tonight and I realized that I have a lot of work left to do. I always overestimate control matches and underestimate aggro.

Round 1 Standard/Budget U/G Ramp I was able to get aggressive faster than they were and was hitting for 10 to 12 on turns 3 and 4 both games. I brought in any removal I had out of the sideboard. To deal with the bigs. Got some easy wins.2-0

Round 2 Budget Black Zombie Stuff? He had some hand disruption and some graveyard synergies. But my deck was a lot more streamlined. I did hit the Call the Bloodline instead of the Zombie Infestation both games and it was clearly worse. I brought in the Leylines but never saw them. But I won pretty easily 2-0

Round 3 White Weenie I was a little worried about this matchup because I wasn't prepared for linear aggro strategies. Such as this one or the Soul Sisters deck that was running around. I durdled for a few turns even dredged my brownscale a couple times but just didnt find what I needed. Sideboarded into anything that gained life or killed creatures. Even a Torpor Orb that I added to the sideboard last minute. Game 2 I mulled down to 4 trying to find a darkblast. Never found it. Never even had a hand that could handle the aggro. Lost quickly 0-2.

Round 4 Dredgevine All in Jund colored dredgevine. Game 1 I was hit on turn 3 with a lotleth troll. Discard 4 creatures. Gravecrawler. Double Vengevine. Didnt stand a chance. Games 2 and 3 I had opening hands with Leyline of the Void and was capable of having enough aggro before he could recover. 2-1

Finished in 3rd 3-1 White Weenie got first. Temur Ascendancy Combo got 2nd. Scapeshift 4th
