Hey all! I recently borrowed the deck from a friend and went 3-1 at FNM (with a bye). I crushed Grixis Shadow and a RG stompy homebrew...but got smooshed round 1 against Knightfall. Worship is a hell of a card. This is the list i played:
I managed to dodge the Humans matchup, which i was the most nervous about. The deck felt super strong, but there was literally no way for me to beat the Worship in Round 1. Several primers and TRs later, I and ended up with this:
Boreal Druids should be 2 more Nobles...but I could only get my hands on 2. Oh well. My meta is fairly Blood Moon intensive, so the extra basic comes in over Cavern 4. The sideboard is a bit wonky...Ratchet Bomb is my budget replacement for EE, but cascading into EE against someone not paying tokens feels pretty terrible. Thragtusk should probably be in the sideboard, but I am testing it and Domri Rade in the flex spots this week. I played about 20 test games against Mardu Pyro and UW Control. Mardu's main deck Blood Moon only punished me once in our 7 games, due to some greedy fetching....but it turns out Bloodbraid Elf is a hell of a Magic card. Domri wasn't the best in those two matchups, but he did draw me two cards. UW was a bit of a mixed bag, in practice...flipped Search for Azcanta was the death of me in all the games that i lost (4/7). I may switch out Natural State for Back to Nature, or maybe even the Kessig Wolf Run for a Ghost Quarter.
