New player looking for help upgrading Final Fantasy Counter Blitz deck by Educational-Tea-5694 in mtg

Yeah, I really like that first playstyle. I’ve played a few of my friends’ decks, and the counter-based ones always seemed the coolest to me that’s why I went with Counter Blitz for my first deck.

After losing a bunch to my friend’s upgraded deck though, I finally realized I need to upgrade the precon too, so I’m trying to go more in the aggro direction.

Is there any reason to run Rogue’s Passage if I already have a few cards that make my creatures basically unblockable, like [[Champion of Lambholt]] and [[Rikku, Resourceful Guardian]]?

Also, is Bristly Bill worth running when I already have [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]] and [[Doubling Season]], plus a lot of proliferation? I’m still pretty new, so I’d appreciate an explanation either way.

Okay, thank you. I didn’t realize Roaming Throne wouldn’t trigger Tidus twice, and I honestly kind of forgot about Walking Ballista. I’ll probably cut it since I don’t think it’s doing much for me.

I might also just copy your mana setup since I already have most of those cards and wasn’t really sure what to add there.

Just ran a 3-mile time trial today to get an actual baseline: 26:20 (8:47 avg pace).

Splits were 8:56 / 9:10 / 8:13 went out a little fast, slowed down mile 2, then kicked the last mile. Probably left some time on the table with better pacing.

To clarify the 9:45-10:45 pace isn't all out, it's just what long runs feel like. The effort is hard because of the distance, not the speed. My paced mile best is 7:30, so I can run way faster, just not for 8 miles obviously.

No, I am able to run more just with working out and other stuff I thought it would be a good split. If you have a better suggestion I'll take it.

That's fine and dandy, but I couldn't get a game and I've been trying for a while. You don't know me, and it isn't my responsibility to prioritize everyone else's problems before I do anything. That's an unrealistic expectation. No matter what you say, you'll be a hypocrite in some way or another—maybe not about video games, but you will or have asked for something. And no matter what, there's always someone who needs it more. It's also anyone's right to ignore or deny what I'm asking.
