BANT!

Traded so hard to get those damn cats and elephants, had to use em in something!
Took 3rd on game day with this build, first time playing it also since it was conceived.
Heroic chumps who can alter as aggro
Azorious control X Selesnya Aggro control.
Yeah wtf exactly :)
i would say more {supreme verdict} mainboard, even though you have brimaz you dont have that many creatures. and i would add another {plasm capture} that card is a blowout late game.
Updated after experiencing large tourney meta.
Took out a loxodon from side board, they didn't prove too keen for me to need more than 2
Added back fated retribution, as I can control creatures no problem but when an opponent has 3+ PW out, would be nice to wipe em, especially at instant speed
Added Trosti to main - she is life gain, life gain is what I need and sphinx rev I feel is not really what I need, nor is it in my budget, unless traded for
Added voice on Friday before tournament, during tourney it proved to be a great card as it kept people at bay.
Added a negate, took away a Selesnya charm, just needed an extra cheap counter for SB
Hopefully can trade for another rift but disperse has actually helped me return my own target to my hand rather than sending it to GY
Contemplating ajani also...
Trostani proves her worth at MNM, a large blocker, and also life gain!
Further testing for next pod:
Removed a disperse.
Adding Ephara, with my token creation in this deck, and lack of sphinx for draw; she will be tested to see how she helps with draw.
I find 3 rifts and my charms are enough bounce.
My counters are still proving worth the main board, syncopating 2 stormbreaths in a row was great, however I should have let domri resolved, rakdos return got me! 😔
Hoping to craft this deck strong enough to hold up consistently against all tier 1 decks and new meta evolving (bug control, phenax mill, satyr firedancer!!!), its definitely proving to be a sweat builder.
Been testing this out and tweaking it more and more. This deck is starting to improve its win ratio with my latest additions:
Blind obedience: RDW hates this card, the extort helps me passively win the game while stalling with tricks
Advent of the Wurm: I don't know why I didn't try this earlier; he is SO good! The synergy with Trostani is beautiful and I keep mana open for potential countering during their turn. Also helps my damage increase faster! Dat trample and instant speed!
Brave the elements: needed this for anti removal/protection at instant speed, i feels a better choice than gods willing.
Took out:
1 kiora - not too useful as a (2) of; often would die immediately after I got her out, and paying 4 mana to draw a card/play a land didn't prove too useful... Keeping 1 in
1 simic charm - so much bounce doesn't help when they can cast it next turn :/
Removed supreme verdict to SB; SB will be a full control alternative to my Aggro build, I choose Aggro as default to counter RDW (my main challenge in current meta)
Definitely hoping to keep up the win % on this deck in testing; frustrating a lot of players and making them earn wins. Frustrating myself for not being able to finish off opponents. Need to start winning so I can build credit for dual lands...
Bumping for ref
