Notes:
This is what i used that beat local platinum level pro Jared Boettcher 2-0 when he came to fnm at my lgs. It looks aweful but this pile performed much much better than i thought it would. He got blown out both games by the singleton copy of {Catch//Release} that i added last minute after i realized i left my 4th copy of {Sphinx's Revelation} at home. Felt so good lol!

I kinda wanted to see how good {Planar Cleansing} is in the current format, so i included zero cards that died to the spell to squeeze every last bit of value out of the card. Lol turns out cleansing is very very good. I'm gonna throw an {Ætherling} in the side for next time though to side in when I'm scared of going to time.

Counterflux seems good. Not sure i have enough red lands to justify more than 1 or 2 though.
