Really porphyry nodes? I'd rather just run Path anyways -2 Ensnaring bridge then have 1 in the SB. Also look at Bob and add him (I'd say instead or Porphry Nodes. Bc Bob just gets you so far ahead of them!!

I wouldn't skimp out on the {ensnaring bridge}s. they are the all stars of this deck. You absolutely need to draw at least one of them every game. Unless you come up against storm or other non creature combo or control decks. Then you side them out for graveyard hate or more disruption. But In my experience if you are playing {ensnaring bridge} at all you need 4 of them.

Completely disagree sure they're good but if your opening hand has 2+ it's bad! I'd say 2 MB one side

Then you mulligan. It's a card that you absolutely have to draw at least one of every game you play. The best way to ensure that is to have 4 of them. Then if you come up against storm or control, then you board some or all of them out. I've found that when i don't have 4 I don't draw one consistently enough. Many a time I've had several rack/shrieking affliction effects in play that were simply not fast enough when my opponent had a board full of creatures and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I'd sooner mulligan every now and then than not be able to find one when the opponent has a board full of creatures.

Makes sense I was just looking at mtgtop8 and other sites and most lists used 1-2.

Arjan Van Leeuwen used 3 at PT BNG but that's bc everyone expected Zoo. It's a meta call for sure so just you around with the numbers
