I'm doing the Grad Prix Trial today, and haven't had any time for any edits at all. So I'll be running it as listed. Once it's done, I'll be able to balance everyone ideas against what worked and what didn't today. Thank you everyone. Wish me luck

Good luck! Do let us know how it goes.

1-3.

Round 1 against a Counter Control deck. Couldn't keep anything out. 0-2

Round 2 against a Sidisi Bug deck. Game 1 pulled out the double {Enduring Scalelord} combo, but too late to help. Game 2 went to turns and she hammered me with both Sidisi, Tasigur, and Silumgar. 0-2

Round 3 beat a GR damage deck. 2-0

Round 4 against a Red Goblin Direct Damage. 0-2

Picked up 2 {Sorin Solemn Visitor}, 2 {Citadel Siege}, 1 {Windswept Heath}, 4 {Caves of Koilos}, 1 {Temple of Plenty}, and 2 {temple of Silence} in trades

Is this an up to date list?

He said he hasn't updated with our suggestions yet.

Picked up more cards for the revamp. Starting to work on it now. Any last ideas before I get elbows deep in this build?

// Bolster 2.0

//Lands:
6 {Forest}
1 {Temple of Plenty}
1 {Windswept Heath}
4 {Temple of Silence}
4 {Sandsteppe Citadel}
4 {Plains}

//Creatures:
3 {Avatar of the Resolute}
2 {Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit}
2 {Enduring Scalelord}
2 {High Sentinels of Arashin}
3 {Servant of the Scale}
2 {Heroes' Bane}
2 {Anafenza, the Foremost}
2 {Polukranos, World Eater}
2 {Whisperer of the Wilds}

//Spells:
3 {Abzan Charm}
4 {Hardened Scales}
2 {Citadel Siege}
2 {Sorin, Solemn Visitor}
3 {Inspiring Call}
4 {Scale Blessing}
2 {Frontier Siege}

//Sideboard:
1 {Frontier Siege}
1 {Citadel Siege}
1 {Avatar of the Resolute}
3 {Valorous Stance}
3 {Winds of Qal Sisma}
1 {Servant of the Scale}
2 {Erase}
3 {Flatten}



Updated. Feels slow. I feel like the land is off. I have 4 {Caves of Koilos}. The 1 of lands are because the shop was outta stock.

Both {whisperer of the wilds} and {heroe's bane} seem less than optimal in this build.

I need to test more, but I can make a case for Whisperer going, Bane going, and green Siege on the chopping block

Seems right. None of them really have synergy. Just good green cards.

Dsx Cherno

Any ideas in the land? More/less of the 1 of's? Add the {caves of koilos}? Other lands?

Maybe. I like the pump and he indestructible. On the other hand, the captains are cheaper, and I already own them. I'll prolly throw in the captains and put nylea on my list to replace them. I'm thinking 3? Enough to give good probability but not be overbearing, especially for an unstackable ability. Im also thinking of more Bolster cards in my SB. and I still need to find a playset of the destroy creature of planeswalker

If it's captain 3 is fine. If it's nylea it's legendary so I'd only run 1-2
