Matchup 1:
Was a {R}{G} build using {shaman of the forgotten ways} and the new surrak along with {dragonloard atarka}. Extremely close games, won 2-1

Matchup 2:
Ugh {U}{B} control, {crackling doom} was a beast against that damn dragon, when it resolved.. Another close game winning 2-1
He was a great guy though and i had a tonne of fun trying to resolve a single thing.

Matchup 3:
Abzan control... I just cant fight it, lost 1-2

Matchup 4:
Easy game against my friends {R}{B} dragons, this deck tends to destroy decks that dont do anything for the first 5-6 turns and have little disruption, not even {anger of the gods} could slow me down much when i have {purphoros} triggering for 6 after every {hordling outburst}

May think about  {Impact Tremors} to increase the damage and {Outpost Siege} to increase some damage if your on the defensive

{Bile Blight} in SB for mirrors

I feel like 4x {crackling doom} makes sense since it's the best mardu card. I would also consider 2 {foul tongue invocation} so your opponents never get value out of their {thunderbreak regents}.

Due to lack of dragons I'd recommend {Merciless Executioner} instead. You can sac it to its own ability or "upgrade" a token.

Edit: missed the instant speed. Still, consider both.
