I was thinking Glorious Anthem or Ajani. Anthem is a problem because casting cost 3 is same as Arena.... issue with Explosives Descendant of Kiyomaro x3 Kitchen Finks x4 Jotun Grunt x2 Stonecloaker x1 Ghost Council of Orzhova x3 Tidehollow Sculler x3 Dark Confidant x4 Phyrexian Arena x3 Umezawa’s Jitte x3 Smother x3 Slaugher Pact x1 Bitterblossom x3 Thoughtseize x4 Windswept Heath x2 Godless Shrine x4 Bloodstained Mire x1 Polluted Delta x1 Swamp x3 Plains x4 Flagstones of Trokair x3 Fetid Heath x2 Caves of Koilos x2 Shizo, Death’s Storehouse x1 Sideboard Wrath of God x2 - Still debating these Damnation x1 - and this Path to Exile x3 Kataki, War’s Wage x3 Mortify x3 Extipate x3 -- that versus Relic or combination Rule of Law x 3 Like to see what you took out for the Chrome Mox.......maybe we can go to 22 lands and then 2 or 3 Moxes. It is the aggro matchup that would concern me.....I think with the Path's out of the sideboard it might be OK...... Bant Aggro (with Trolls) might be tougher without the Damnations Rule of Law for Elves and extra for TEPS @Hamslice - how has the deck been performing…. bad and good matchups?
