I played this <https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/visual/2751185> last night at Fnm, going 3-1. The list was almost untested before, but felt great overall.
The matchups were :
Jund 2-0
Prowess 1-2 (I probably could have won if played better)
Elves 2-1
Niv to Light 1-0-1 (with a crazy second game)
Uro is really good, in both aggro and grindy MUs. Astrolabe is great too, making blood moon not as bad. On the other hand, Jace was out-tempo every time I drew it.
It has bien good, obviously against Prowess, were every mode is relevant. In the first game vs Jund I answered a Kolaghan's Commande by exiling the gy while killing a goyf, felt great.
I guess I was curious if you feel like you want more copies or if 1 is all you need. I have about 2-3 flexible spots that I am interested in trying some new things.

Great to see that you ended up with a similar list as I did, the MB is identical up to 3 cards that I'd consider essentially flex slots, I play 25 lands instead of your 24 though, I always found that to be the better number without any dorks at all. Would you perform any changes to the list, were there any choices that stood out particularly?
I am curious if any 4 Color Gifts players are still around and what their thoughts are these days. I feel like the deck has seen some pretty interesting cards like Kaya's Guile, Damn, Subtlety, and Solitude. There are other out there as well, but mainly I was just curious what people are looking at these days.
Personally, I have been watching my list and the potential inclusions and I was unsure how I feel about G these days. Is it just me or are cards like Abrupt Decay and Assassin's Trophy losing steam in the format?
How are people feeling about discard packages in the format right now? Still good or are countermagic packages better?
I know Teferi, Time Raveler is cooling off in the format - but I do feel like it is a really solid MB card in 4 Color Gifts. Just to buy that 1 turn to slip in gifts can be so nice. I have also been particularly interested in the interaction with suspend, and also the card Suspend. I have been wondering if this is enough to just buy time into the Gifts package and hinder the recast with Teferi, Time Raveler or Iona, Shield of Emeria. Having played Suspend since release, alongside Teferi, it has been an excellent removal spell overall. You can also delay creatures into wider board sweeps which is handy.
When it comes to a midrange package, I fancy the idea of casting and kicking Tourach, Dread Cantor off a Noble or a Bird and growing a Goyf. I think this offers some sweetness to the inevitability factor of the Midrange Gifts where they have to start answering things or prep for a Gifts. Cards like Siege Rhino at the top can help recoup life from shocks as well, giving you a bit more breathability with setting up your mana for plays that are more mana intense.
Anyways, would love to see some lists if anyone is still here and still playing the deck. I have been playing with the idea of some of the older, more midrange lists as well as the more controlling packages.
