It's 2am over here in indiana and I'm up thinking about a home brew that seems interesting to me.

On a serious note I'd cut the regenerate a gollum because blighty is already indestructible

Edit: just realized that you're not running tron lands or something to get out blighty. I'd cut blighty

Edit 2: I see you have shape anew. I'd run 2 blightys because if you draw one there's a problem.

I run he vendillon clique to help with that problem actually. I thought about 2 but decided 1. I think I'll proxy this up and see how it does. While I haven't tested much I remember this deck back when scars was here. Haha

Updated the main deck a little bit. Test played against abzan a bit and I ended up splitting the even with him. So need more sideboard work and I'll update that as well. Have a lot of ideas

Why anticipate? I feel like there are better cards out there like  {Serum Visions},  {Sleight of Hand},  {Telling Time},  {Think Twice}. I really like serum visions because it gives you something to do first turn.

I'd say anticipate is better than telling time, think twice, and maybe sleight of hand.

I like anticipate because I can have the chance to help make sure I don't draw my copy of Blightsteel and it also allows me to look for my pieces 1 card deeper. While yes serum visions is a great card and it's something I can do turn 1, I would rather react at end of turn
