Affinity will surely board out galavanic blast because it super-crappy against midrange.
They rather tend to strip Cards with Thoughtseize, especially public enemy no 1, stony silence.
A key part of this deck is to side out Inquisition of KOzilek and Thoughtseize against Robots,
because teyh are crap in this Matchup. If i side out Relics too, this adds up to 10 Cards (!!!).
Then Wasteland Strangler becomes worse too.
A vanilla 3/2 for 3 is bad too. Only Path and Declaration enables it
(Thought-Knot Seer vs. a hellbent opponent???).
Teh only reliable sweeper is Zealous Persecution and this one is pretty tough on mana.
What really helps here is Kataki, War's Wage :
It let us crack our Relic, is able to whipe half of their board and finally enables Strangler with a cracked Relic.
The Advantages:
+ more individual powerful and impactful Cards (TKS, Strangler, Sculler)
+ being not in need of swarming the board
+ Cantripping with Relic
+ a bunch of removal
+ many individual powerful Discard-Spells (TKS, Sculler)
+ Sea Gate Wreckage - just love it
Disadvantages (from my perspective):
- wasteland strangler being the only Processor-alike Card
- Relic being a dead Card against Burn, Robots and Bant Eldrazi
- Splashing C
- Sculler just eating Lightning Bolt
- Strangler just eating Bolt w/o a Creature to remove / Cards in Exile
So i'm kinda like shaken between Up- and Downsides.

Even better (+++):
We can board Engineered Explosives or Ratchet Bomb w/o being worried that our own Stony
will shut it down.

Looks very anti-synergistic to me.

i'm just comin' from BW Tokens, lurking around this thread from time to time.
I want to expand my Token-Build with Tidehollow Sculler and Wasteland Strangler, therefore cutting Procession's and Raise the Alarm. My question is about wether to cut Sorin, Solemn Visitor and put in Thought-Knot Seer or just stick to the Token-Plan and try to swarm the Board.
