Game 2: switch all curses with sideboard to have Esper control if I think they might have a witchbane orb in their sideboard. And, game 3: possibly switch out for some curses depending on their deck. Any feedback is welcome. I think it's going to play well and no one will see it coming. I want to find room for safety sphere if they are aggro.

Maybe use  {Ethereal Armor} on the bane alley to resist burn or even make it a big blocker.

I want to add this in as well. First off I need to build and test to make sure I don't have too much mana. Then see if anything can be taken out for the armor. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've also thought about replacing the bane alley brokers with {deadeye navigator} for a Obzedat combo.

If you do swap it out for any creature I would suggest  {Bitterheart Witch}

Nice! That would help get curses faster. She is weak to removal but that death touch makes her intimidating.

*what I meant was, she not as good as a 1/3 like augur or bane alley.

What about {vampire nighthawk}?

The thing is, you actually don't mind if she dies..

What is your gameplay against a single  {Witchbane Orb} in their sideboard?

I just saw your notes on game 2.

Aha yea. That's the one card I'm dreading to see against this deck. Or {merciless eviction} but I can at least counter both of them. If it came down to it.
