I love coming up with my own builds and discussing Deck Strategy with others. I don't do Netdeck builds of anything "Top Ranked" -- not on Paper, and not on Arena (at least never in Ranked matches). I don't have any problem with Netdecking as a concept, I just prefer the challenge of seeing how far I can get ignoring all the most popular combos in any given format.

Feel free to copy any of my decks though, I've got no problem with the concept & consider it a compliment!

Also, if you're on Arena, go ahead and add me if you want to play, test decks, or even just discuss deck strategy & different builds.

Worth noting that exiling won't trigger any of your "when dies" stuff, that was my reasoning anyway.

Completely valid points on all counts. I only suggested what I did based on known threats in the meta, not so much from a standpoint of deck strategy.

Some form of protection might be worth tossing on the Sideboard at the very least in best-of-3's.

Temporary Lockdown is another pretty popular one (I use it relentlessly in a couple builds) to watch out for, it could throw a wrench in your plans rather quickly and it can drop rather early.

Indestructible is nice but there are just so many ways around it still in my opinion. Can't beat phase-out for anything.
