Looks good! I would personally go to 2 Mogis. Take out a prophetic? Also, I would switch either a jet or a downfall for one more cut, as your graveyard will be huge.

Speaking of graveyards: 1-2 {Empty the Pits} dominates late game. One main and one board is where I'd be. Boom.

I agree on cut. -1 Downfall, +1 Cut.
However i think flamespeaker is mighty underrated and the 1-1 split main vs side mogis is good. As for empty the pits, I've tested quite a bit with the card in various shells and it has always underperformed for me. The 1 necropolis fiend has been great so far, serving the same purpose of being a great late game threat in grindy games. However, more testing is definitely needed. Empty the pits could have a home in the side as a possible tutor package with liliana.

I didn't even see mogis in the board

I might still be living in magical christmas land with Pits-Blowouts on the brain.

In hindsight, that could have used better phrasing.

Idk if {Goblin Rabblemaster} should be in here.

[DylanW18]

Yes, 4x. So good

[Thetrufflehunter]

You're not an aggro deck. Id stick to blowing up opponents rabblemasters, and landing your regent and stuff later.

[DylanW18]

Rabble is not only an Aggro all star, but a control all star as well. Stick a rabble then proceed to kill all the blockers away and win in 4 turns? Yes please

[DrainCleaner]

I think the flamespeaker is the better 3 drop in this shell

[DrainCleaner]

I'm thinking possibly 4x Rabble sideboard

[DylanW18]

I just think rabble is SO good. It's kinda dumb strong. Just my humble opinion though

[SoshiGanrou]

No {storm breath dragon}? Gets around {wingmate roc} and can also help push extra damage with monstrous. I understand that Sarkhan is a dragon in sense but I've never been to big of a fan of him.

I'm not really liking stoke in here. Idk to me 4 mana for 4 damage isn't the best bc looking at your creature base you'll rarely Convoke. And at 4 mana I feel like I'd rather have a 4th downfall or silence the believers

I will be testing both with and without stoke. I currently like it because even as a 4 mana spell it allows me to play my early game controlling and still have access to an explosive endgame later.

[DrainCleaner]

Ok so stoke has been fantastic
