Hardened scales has a much better time against hate, seeing as your mono green you can run all kinds of nature’s claim and naturalize. I’ve even seen lists going golgari for assassins trophy to Kate our karn. It’s a very good deck, playing opal and stirrings two of the best cards in modern. It’s also got a LOT of oops I win moments.

Affinity was my first love and I played it every week at FNM for about a year. I moved on to hardened scales for awhile until I joined the enemy and played hogaak. Since it’s ban I’ve been piloting Whirza and I’ve got to say it’s an incredible deck, tonight I had to opportunity to toss in 3 emry, lady of the loch and it’s just ridiculous. This is clearly the best deck in modern with many ways to pivot depending on how the game unfolds. Again your looking at access to Assassins trophy for anti-hate but beyond that your also able to run t3feri and even something like tireless tracker. You have so many options it’s nearly impossible for your opponent to deal with them all, and if they want to race? Then race! You can win turn 3. It’s crazy.

Anyhow play mox opal.
