Pod Nic fit, ramp and control with explorer and cabal, start dropping threats. stabilizing with a pod is a lot of fun.

Ideally I want to drop veteran explorer as early as possible. the GSZ are mostly to search for him if needed. In a pinch though, they can find me anything but a 4-drop for pod, and give me utility if I need something like rec sage, or the life off thragtusk.

against most fair decks, and resource denial decks I do okay due to being able to power out lands. but it plays relatively slow, and combo is definitely my weak point (especially storm, which is unfortunately heavy in my meta) with most of my SB dedicated to it. Thoughtseizes come in and we try to see if we can thoughtseize into cabal. Teeg is a calculated risk, I can get him out pretty easily with GSZ, or DRS. or even pod if need be. but can't cast him off lands. I'm thinking about tossing in one savannah to fetch, or a basic plains I could get with Explorer.

The rest of the sideboard is just kinda what seems to help out. I had trinket mage in for fetching my artifact hate and I may bring him and pithing needle back to the sideboard. I had taken them out for surgical extractions, but I'm always unsure about those.

Grave titan is pretty MVP here. If he resolves I usually win through beats pretty quick, and with stuff like recurring nightmare I can abuse him a lot. kind of my favorite thing to do tbh.

Potential adds: Savannah/plains, fleshbag maruade, more mindbreak traps

  • -Garruk Relentless, - Phantasmal Image, - Vendilion clique
  • +2x sensei's divining top, +trinket mage

  • -1x Green sun's zenith, + Liliana, Heretical healer.

Felt I needed card filtration. I like Garruk, but rarely got good use of him. Image and clique felt similar. One clique in SB for combo matches. Went down to one GSZ and added lili because I want to test new lili, and felt GSZ was the most reasonable trim.
