Based off of what we all saw at PT OGW, but for Standard. 1.0 version at the moment, but aiming to take some form of this to GP Houston in a couple weeks.

Goal: Get big things out as soon as possible before opponent can really handle them, i.e. ahead of curve.

Strengths:

• When it works it works very well.

• Can hang with the faster meta that seems to be annoyingly around me locally and manage to grind out tough games that my good ol' control decks can't.

• Surprisingly consistent in terms of threats available despite not having 4-ofs for all of it. Definitely want to add some copies Thought-Knot Seer and Reality Smasher but unfortunately didn't get them in time for this round of testing.

Weaknesses:

• Land base is... inconsistent to say the least. In testing at OGW Gameday I got screwed over often even after the mulligan. Usually due to not getting an Island. Thought it was balanced going in, but now that I'm uploading the list I can definitely tweak the balance a bit. Maybe -2 Wastes +1 Island/+1 Swamp? Format for this iteration of testing was BfZ Block Constructed, so fetches might be an addition too, at least for the next couple months.

• Like most creature-heavy decks, highly vulnerable to removal. Maybe add a playset of Void Winnower? Besides allowing me to say "you can't even" far too much, it feels like it could be a good option late. No idea what to do early though.

• Weak against decks that can go wide easily. Late game this could be a spot for Breaker of Armies , but the BW Allies matchup (and its variants) will be problematic.
