What I'm gonna run on Friday.

Kaalia with haste

Woolly thoctar seems really really out of place.

Budget Goyf I'm guessing.

They don't even play goyf. This deck doesn't put stuff in the GY well.

He was and it was just a thought about early game pressure but quickly took him out after thinking about it. I'd rather have a finks and let the game run longer for the combo. I would've really like to use wall of omens but have none at the moment.

Nah Goyfs aren't an issue I could get them whenever I want but this deck doesn't use them normally as Kaalia with haste has already stated. Nothing gets thrown in the grave really and the stuff I put there comes back with eternal witness and gets exiled with oozes and lavamancer.

Kaalia with haste

According to hoogland you always want a pridemage main deck. Have you given that any thought? Reveillark also seems very awkward.

Reveillark brings back Kiki and village bell ringer so if they picked your hand apart and its late game just evoke for an instant combo

Also, I like Qasali and what he does I may take him out of the sideboard and main him. Possibly take my lightning bolt down to a 3 of.

Edit: may just take out Reveillark and put in qasali.

As a general rule, decks like this generally won't play a huge amount of removal. For this deck, I think 4 path is enough, with your "5" copies of fiend hunter you'll be fine. Bolt is a great card, but a deck like this wants only a few removal spells that hit everything, and bolt is a bit too narrow. That should make room for some wall of omens.

Also, this deck probably should have a linvala maindeck, it's great in a lot of matchups (it's awesome against twin). Sam pardee did a video series with an early version of this deck and kept complaining about the lack of a Linvala.

Unfortunately I have no linvalas at the moment. But the bolts have been removed since I ordered the wall of omens.
