WotC may have stopped supporting league, but my FLGS has kept it going. We stopped during quarantine, but came back afterwards, and have been getting about 40 people a set. We start with 3 packs, have six weeks to add up to 17 more, and then have a big tourney with amazing prize support. It's a great deal and a lot of fun.

This pool, though, has been giving me nightmares. My rares are decent, but I got really lucky with my uncommons. 4 Oni-Cult Anvils, 3 Imperial Recovery Units, 3 Behold the Unspeakable, 2 Assassin's Ink, and various other fantastic options. I also got pretty lucky with my land slots. Never in the many leagues I've done have I had so many difficult choices. The tournament's on Saturday and I keep going around and around on what I should do.

1) It doesn't feel like I'm playing enough removal. It also doesn't feel like I'm playing enough creatures. 2) Should I go all in on the Recovery Unit targets as well (more spirited companions, iron apprentices, virus beetles, maybe selfless samurai)? 3) If I put in the Companions and the Horobis, should I also look at using Naomi and the 4 Kami of Terrible Secrets? Maybe I'd cut Recoveries in that case... 4) Am I using too many taplands? Probably, but being color-screwed seems much worse for this deck... 5) Is it worth adding in three or four more tap lands in order to also splash Replication Specialist, maybe Reality Chip? (Replicating four anvils seems good) 6) Should I even be in white at all? Should I just go Grixis, with the Unspeakables? 7) The only card I have that costs more than 4 is Farewell, should I go down to 16 lands? Or should I try to force Brilliant Restoration into the mana base? There's only two non-land permanents it can't get back....

Any advice would be welcome.
