As it’s probably slowing you down in all those non-control matchups.

Yeah it's okay-ish since theres only 2 copies in there, but if I know that I'm not up against control I wouldn't put it in the main board that's right.

Bomat Courier looks very good, thank you for the suggestion! I'll grab a playset and see if they work out :)

Yeah there is potential for Experimental Frenzy to be useful versus control if your opponent lets it resolve. Maybe it’s better as a sideboard card? As it’s probably slowing you down in all those non-control matchups.

Bomat Courier might be a more aggressive option for this card advantage route - it’s low mana cost allows it to slip passed countermagic easier, and if left unanswered nets you a whole new hand!

Of course, I'm glad those recs were to your liking. If you're looking to trim down at your 6 slot a bit more, I think you could probably swap out Etali & Gleam of Battle. I used to play Etali and it felt very boom or bust. The times it popped off were memorable, but more often than not it just sat a turn rotation & ate removal before it could swing.

• Connecting the Dots is something I've been looking at as a kinda Bomat Courier effect for all your creatures. Could be worth for those times you're in topdeck mode.

• The new Agrus Kos, Spirit of Justice is also another 4 drop that could be worth checking out for the removal & politicking. The cool thing about Suspect is that you could technically use it on your own creatures for the Menace evasion.

I'm sure you'll have a blast with this once you have it built in paper. The kind of combats this deck can have once it gets its motors going are a lot of fun

Coward_Token lol Connecting the Dots is just "What if all your creatures could be Bomat Courier with less downside?"

Cards I recommend:

Felhide Petrifier for obvious reasons.

Bomat Courier to test. You need a one drop creature. Felhide Brawler possibly. I do not like Felhide Minotaur, the Petrifier is better and you need all your 3 drops to be worth it. I know Ragemonger helps in that regard.

Metallic Mimic :)

Fatal Push over Cast Down/Murder. Even Terminate is better. Dreadbore if you want to start a sideboard.

Just some thoughts. Happy building!

Hey Crow_Umbra!

Thanks for the suggestions! I see what you mean about Bomat Courier, will definitely replace it with something that can draw more easily.

Part of the reason I am including lots of lands is because of an interesting article I read by someone at channelfireball about how if your commander and average mana cost is low, it can be more effective to have more lands over mana rocks, since lands are generally more efficient in the early turns (a hand of three lands, and a few 1 and 2 drops can have a greater board presence in the early turns and cast a 3 cost commander in turn three, whereas a hand with 2 lands and a mana rock will be forced to play the rock to cast the commander). That all being said, the rocks can lead to bigger turns later in the game, so I’ll see if I can find the article, but I’ll also try replacing some lands.

In taking a quick look at your deck, I think you could probably drop a few lands. 42 is a bit high, I get that you're not running many mana rocks aside from Sol Ring and Arcane Signet. I think you could safely swap a couple of land slots for a couple more 2 mana rocks like Talisman of Conviction and the others in Mardu colors, mostly since you can play extra rocks, but not additional lands each turn. Your mana curve is fairly low as-is at 2.73 that 42 lands seems like you could potentially mana flood. 35-38 lands is a nice sweet spot, especially with some mana rocks and a low curve like you have.

Bomat Courier could probably be cut. Definitely some hoops to jump through to get the impulse draw. Minas Tirith (if you're not against Universes Beyond stuff) and Chivalric Alliance might be safer options for some additional draw.

You could probably replace Memorial to Folly with Vault of the Archangel, as it's kinda slow as a tapped land and recursion piece.

Cathars' Crusade could be another potential replacement, mostly because the counter tracking in games can become annoying.

Spawning Pit is kinda meh, especially with some of the other more impactful "free" sac outlets you're currently running.

Maybe Pyrite Spellbomb or Bomat Courier could be alternative artifacts for more damage output?
