And next in the list of primers I am working on is this beauty. I got the baseline from Riley Knight's article at http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=14838&writer=Riley+Knight&articledate=9-5-2018, and made a few small modifications. This deck is going to continue to evolve based on more spoilers and how the metagame shapes up. Also currently testing Legion Warboss for an additional transformational sideboard against control decks that are going to cut most of their removal spells going into game two in three. Sideboard still needs some work because with the current sideboard plan against W/U/x variants, we are currently bringing in more cards than we are currently willing to cut, so I will be trimming down two sideboard slots in order to have more power against midrange/aggressive decks.

If you like the deck or see a glaring issue, feel free to comment and provide some constructive criticism. If you want to check out my other primers, here are the links -
