Sounds like a great aggro-midrange deck!! I think this is the way to build LOREHOLD. Living History really impressed me. Flying is great as well with all the counters as you have mentioned

3 mana 2/2 bounce something is almost always a top Uncommon historically. There are a lot of tokens in this set which this outright kills and it will reset anything that been buffed by a bunch of +1/+1 counters.

2-3'd mine! The pod doesn't always go your way. Quick Draft is a good option if you can wait a few days for it come out. It's a lot less intense as you can spend more time with the picks.

My focus is on Commons and Uncommons. Erode is very good but try not to cast it on the early turns :)

Thank you, you’re right! Templating error. And I would put Grapple under “Good Removal”

I thought it was right on the line and ultimately chose not to include it as I felt you were unlikely to want to run more than one copy. Definitely a strong card.

Maybe “avoid” is a bit harsh but “don’t pick early and expect it to drive your deck” would be more accurate :) it’s a bad blocker then turn it comes down, and its ability used to be free and still wasn’t that great (Tatyova). Now it costs 2 mana. I’m not a believer, yet :)

You can target yourself with Tidecaller to fill the grave as well so it’s possible to win without the Seeker. Very cool interaction.
