My take on the G/B Walking Ballista deck for fnm.
Any and all feedback welcome! :)
FNM 1/27/17
Due to budget restraints, I had to run 2x Drana, Liberator of Malakir in the place of Nissa and 3x Ridgescale Tusker in the place of Verdurous Gearhulk
Round 1: Lost to U/B artifacts
Round 2: Lost to G/W tokens/counters
Round 3: I got the bye...
Round 4: I won against R/B artifacts
1/28/17 GPT
So, fast forward to today for our local GPT, I made the following changes:SB:-3 Lost Legacy+3 Yahenni's Expertise-1 Noxious Gearhulk+1 Ruinous PathMB-2 Lifecraft Awakening+1 Grasp of Darkness+1 Murder
The results
Round 1: Lost to G/W counters. 2nd game was close, but he ulted ajani and beat face with Avacyn
Round 2: I won against R/B artifacts. To be fair, he misplayed a few times. Game 2 was close.
Round 3: I won against U/R burn. He lost steam both games and I was able to keep going
Round 4: I won against 5 color Superfriends. Cool deck but I managed to keep the pressure up
Round 5: I won against U/B artifacts (super close games, same guy from FNM)
I made the cut to top 4 and played the U/B artifacts again. Close games, but he got me. He ended winning the top 4 spot against G/W counters.
End results, 2nd place swiss standing, 3rd in top four.

Tested against some proper control today. Not good results. Ornithopter is looking to get axed first most likely but for what I'm not sure. Will update any final changes before tomorrows fnm, but if you have any ideas please let me know. UPDATE For FNM last night I dropped -4 Ornithopter for +1 Drana, Liberator of Malakir +2 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and +1 Ob Nixilis Reignited
Traded for the Drana, bought the two Nissas from the shop (he only had 2) and I already had the Ob and as a friend pointed out, he's card advantage and a Murder on a stick...big big stick.
Went 2-2. Won against Mono Black Control and 4 Color Tower Control. Lost too U/B Thing Control and U/W Walker Control. Sooo...much...control
