Got together with a bunch of friends to playtest in prep for GP Miami. I did not have my exact iteration of my deck, I had the version with +4 Chief of the Scale and -4 Collateral Damage.
Too many times did I find myself wanting the Collateral Damage. It's such a good card with what I'm trying to do. Overall, I played about 15 matches, and won 13 or so. It was all game 1s, as I did not have a sideboard yet and we were just cleaning up our initial play, etc. I did not have access to my Bile Blight then, which meant that the token decks gave me the hardest time.
The only non-token focused deck I had a hard time with was an Abzan Midrange deck that drew exceptionally well, so I could not do much with my horrid draws. There was a stretch of 11-12 games where I did not see a single Brutal Hordecheif, which is unfortunate because he auto-wins me games 90% of the time I have him out.
I'm very happy with this current Iteration.
+1 Mardu Ascendancy
-1 Swamp
I was getting flooded way more than I was getting screwed, plus Ascendancy has been overperforming for me.
