Another Round of Testing

Mainboard is fine unless there are some obvious switching up needed. I liked you deck when i spotted it the other day, now I'm afraid, I'll have to destroy it.

Round 1 Scoutin' Your Face With My Ethereal Armor-ed Fist vs. GoldGhost012's How To Kick Ass With Codex Shredder 101

Sorry this took so long, I had issues with copying my deck to edit the sideboard.

I won 2-1. This was a very interesting fight. I had significant advantage, but Gopldghost managed to win round two by resolving a Traumatize and utilizing Ratchet Bomb . I think that splashing white for Supreme Verdict might be very effective.

R for Scoutin', G for Codex Shredder
