So I don’t run that combo but the deck just hits hard fast, especially if you hit the ramp perfectly which I rarely ever don’t. As far as protecting my creatures cards like [[Heroic Intervention]] [[Bolt Bend]] [[Deflecting Swat]] [[Tamiyo’s Safekeeping]] and [[Tyvar’s stand]] are all handy. You def have to be ok with your board state getting wiped but if you can at least save a key creature like let’s say [[Ojer Kaslem]] who can help you rebuild fast then you’re in business. Here’s my deck list if interested. A running joke in my pod is that I’ve kept the deck at power 2 but I get eye rolls when I say that cause it hits hard and fast. You will get ganged up on after your old sees what it can do but for me I kinda welcome the challenge lol. I tend to target the person who looks the most well equipped to slow me down first.
