.poo. just realized this play 4 flats. I only own 3 (the fourth one in my modern deck is being borrowed). I might try to buy into this but I don't own voices.

Well actually, the list ran in Oklahoma ran 3 flats and 3 catacombs

Edit: I also bought the voices with the marsh flats 🙈 I used to have them but thought I'd never use em again whenever I traded off my wilt leaf liege deck but I was sorely mistaken lol

Nathan Holiday of ChannelFireball played this list on twitch. Looked sweet there's a lot of cool things you can do. My fav was: play {Tidehollow Skuller} response to first trigger sac it to whatever. Then the card is exiled forever!! I liked that play bc I didn't know that's how it worked

Ran this last night and loved it. thinking about throwing in two {Grim Haruspex} or a single {Smothering Abomination}. Favorite play of the night tho was

Rally for 3
Brings back 9 creatures including 3 voyaging satyrs, 1 eternal witness, 3 doomed traveler.
Use the satyrs mill effect on the stack to put a return to the ranks in the grave from my deck, proceed to use witness to return it to my hand, then convoke with creatures that came back to return the ranks the other 8 creatures I was able to put in the grave with the satyrs. Then proceeded to sac and kill them with 2 blood artists and a zulaport cutthroat on the board.

Only lost twice. Once in the pre rounds to anafenza combo, then in the top 4 to anafenza combo again same deck although both games were extremely close. So I decided to throw anafenza the foremost in the sideboard for that situation next time.

Just so you know, that wasn't a legal play.
Witness' ability can't go on the stack without a target, and Wayfinder's trigger can't resolve before Witness' trigger goes on the stack.

You're right :( I asked a rules advisor today and they said I must have a valid target before the triggers happen.. That stinks. Well next time I need to make sure there's a return in the grave already or just pick up the rally again.
