Finally got to test the list IRL, went 3-0 😊 I'll have to get better sleeves for the deck, the ones I used were a bit difficult to shuffle, and it really adds up over a tournament with the amount of shuffling the deck requires 😅

ROUND 1 // 2-0 vs Gruul Ponza Favorable matchup according to my opponent, basically their only interaction against spy is destroying my swamp so I cannot start the combo, and there are 7 other sources of black mana in the deck. Sided in another swamp just to be sure, and comboed them twice.

ROUND 2 // 2-1 vs MonoRed Rally Favorable matchup again, I lost the second game because of a bad mulligan decision. I kept a hand of 6 with Forest, Quirion Ranger and a bunch of two drops, not thinking that my ranger could get bolted 🤡 Won the other two games through combo.

ROUND 3 // 2-0 vs Orzhov Blade Oppo had lots of grave hate, so I could not really go for the combo game 1. Fortunately I had both Winding Way and Lead the Stampede in my opening hand, and eventually overwhelmed them with ents and big hydras. On game 2 oppo mulliganed to 5, and they did not have enough resources to answer hydras and protect from the combo at the same time.

The deck felt good to play. In my early testing I found it to be a bit too reliant on the top of the deck, but I now see that I just wasn't mulliganing well. It is not enough to simply have mana, you also need card advantage or threats to play the game.

I'm still tinkering with the sideboard, I will probably swap the 3 Healer of the Glade (1 mana gain 3 life) with 3 Nylea's Disciple (4 mana gain life equal to your devotion to green). The life from the healers did not feel relevant in the Rally matchup, I guess I have enough time to wait for the disciple and really put myself out of range 🤔
