Update 11 —Feb. 12, 2024
1) Added stax removal lands:
Mouth of Ronom, Ominous Cemetery: Not the most efficient removal cards but by being lands, they do not affect Belzenlok’s ETB. They deal, at instant speed, with common hate bears such as Drannith MagistrateGC and Hushbringer.
Underdark Rift: Has the disadvantage of being a sorcery speed card. However, unlike the two other removal lands, it can target artifact stax cards. Specifically Torpor Orb and Cursed Totem.
2) Added other utility lands:
Snow-Covered Swamp: the change is needed to be able to use Mouth of Ronom.
3) Re-included tutor:
Insidious Dreams: although the worst tutor on the list, a 4 mana tutor is too efficient to ignore. This card works as flexible ramp, removal or damage prevention.
4) Added more flexible removal:
Removed Shriekmaw: Although on paper very flexible, there are two main creatures we want to deal with: Drannith MagistrateGC and ETB haters (such as Hushbringer). Shriekmaw only deals with the former.
Added Whack: whack targets all the hard stax creatures that prevent us from winning. It can also deal with non-white creatures for a higher mana cost.
