Mk. 3.0 —Nov. 4, 2016
New: a lot (specifically, most of the mana dorks, some card draw, and all of the non-creature removal cards)
Cuts: tons of stuff over three mana and most of the ramp
Roon is back, and he's nastier than ever! I wanted to make the deck faster and generally more responsive overall, so I cut most of the land ramp for mana dorks, trimmed down on the expensive spells, and added some instant-speed interaction. While using creature ramp makes me more vulnerable to board wipes, it also gives me turn-one and -two plays, which is something that the Mk. 2 versions of the deck rarely had. The creature density isn't as high, but I still run the same general shell of tutors and ETB effects that I was running before, so I'm hoping the deck will continue to be consistent and flexible.
In addition to speeding the deck up, I'm also trying out a few taxing cards to slow my faster opponents down. I'm not sure if full-out prison is the direction I want to take this deck, but Mk. 2 was very soft to combo and I don't just want to roll over and die every time a combo deck shows up, so I'm hoping Ethersworn Canonist, Kataki, War's Wage, Mystic Remora, Aura of Silence, and Rhystic Study will help me remedy that.
