Sideboard


Maybeboard


I really just stole this deck from MegaMogwai on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nREUCUOnH7M), but based off of what I had available and some minor changes, I wanted to put it up here for reference and feedback.

Mogwai's decklist (https://aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/58544)

The big things I have questions about are the 4 and 5 drops, whether there's room to reduce the explore package for an extra 4 or 5 drop, and whether it's safe to put an off-color card that I can't cast, but can pod for. My ideas for that are Hostage Taker or Rekindling Phoenix.

4 Drop Maybes

Hostage Taker would come out for free, steal a creature, which I'd have open mana to cast immediately.

Rekindling Phoenix could be sacrificed multiple times to pod for my 5 drops.

Other on-color options: Tempest Caller Sweet ETB effect, happy to turn around and sacrifice the body for 5 drops.

5 Drop Maybes

Bishop of Rebirth - Recycle Explore package

Demanding Dragon - Sacrifice creature or take 5 damage. Time it right to not allow for a bad creature sacrifice.

This deck has been a lot of fun on Arena, but performed well in my first FNM with it as well, going 2-1-1, with the loss due to a very greedy first hand keep that I should have mulliganed. Lessons learned.

Sideboard

Sideboard tech could stand to be improved however. At no point did I become remotely interested in sideboarding in counters, so I'm looking for opportunities to keep the sideboard nearly completely creature-based.
