...have been going well enough -- to both the primer and the decklist.
Lemme tell ya -- I had a revelation; a very cherished happening when it comes to this list. Recently I added in the package of Unspeakable Symbol and Children of Korlis. While going through the backlog of ideas and cards I was missing physically, I came across Glen Elendra Archmage while looking for interaction to reanimate. From that, I was reminded about the interaction of Persist and +1/+1 counters from Grumgully, the Generous and was like oh shit! That's a lot of value! But then, the old and gold mass-targeting card popped up in my head: Cauldron of Souls. Creature protection. Mass creature targeting. 3 life per-ressurection with Unspeakable Symbol... that's a lot of value and synergy at instant speed! I'll certainly be looking more into this -- I'm unsure if Glen Elendra Archmage is making the cut yet since each slot is pretty solid, but I'll see what I can do. Definitely want to make room for Cauldron of Souls though.
Also, Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor over card:Magus of Worth? Currently testing this. Similar function of shutting down large boards to protect the life total, but with the added bonus of being really good vs. voltron and Narset, Enlightened Master since pretty much nothing can stop a non-targeted tap effect. It's also repeatable and folks can't vote against it! Worse stats but I think it's still really worth considering. Also they have a single-target effect at instant speed that can provide great utility. Main concern here and the only reason this wasn't an auto-swap was because triple blue feels hard to get in a list with 3 colors like this. Will see.
A good day for experimentation.
