This is where I'm at right now, and hoping to get the last bringer tomorrow. I'd seen the radioactive spider in a 5-0 list and kinda liked it. 3 fast lands could change into more surveil or verge like you'd shown. I think I'd lean verges for the early mana

Fungus/surprise/prank are just to consider

It looks like quite the mana overhaul, more gloomlake, 1 of ea basic and an extra land from what I've been seeing.

Was hoof more overkill as well, that it got cut?

Any changes you'd make to it? Looking to spin it up at an RCQ

I've been enjoying the exploration around beans a lot. Between the moose and the dragons there's something there that isn't Zur

Phill @phillmtg.bsky.social · Mar 27

I'm hoping, and thinking, that this flier will do just fine. Good curve filler, that can take over.

Phill @phillmtg.bsky.social · Mar 27

@jafferttv.bsky.social

Great game man, I'm huge into dimir control, and liked the look of your list. I think I might want the 3rd cover up in mine.

Phill @phillmtg.bsky.social · Mar 22

Went and got a nice virtue and a 4-0 with my updated Ketramose list from the PT, feeling pretty good about it going into Tarkir

Hey, fellow Canadian player, I did put on a bit of a show with ketramose in standard at the Sunday PTQ. Managed to 4-1 for 9th. Close lost to pixie ended my run
