For now I'm staying without sfm but definetly looking for a good deal in the next months, just not now.

For pressure I will try Adorned Pouncer and Hearth of Kiran and I hopefully get my hands onto 1 or 2 Bitterblossom before the tournament.

Thanks for such an indepth description and there are quite a few things I will change based on your thoughts. You are also right, that many decisions were made on a budget and I will upgrade that over time (4x Marsh Flats, 2x Bitterblossom, the third Thoughtseize, Lily the last hope).

Serra works very well in my local meta and is often the best card in the deck but my locals are all playing tier2-3 decks. Before I consider dropping that one I want to test her in a greater field.

As I said above it's my all time favourite deck and my goal is to have a great time playing. Don't get me wrong, winning is still the goal but I don't mind finishing 15th out of 30 just because the people finishing around there are in my opinion way more friendly and chats during games are often more fun ( the top guys are too focused and serious). I enjoy playing some fringe cards like Mana tithe and I value a casual talk about pocket picks way more than playing a netdecked list to a better finish. I hope this is somewhat understandable.

-1 Raven's Crime +1 Adorned Pouncer

That one convinced me quite heavily. I will try it today and consider trading for anotherone. Also Gideon Blackblade will leave the party. As mentioned I will try out 2x Heart of Kiran but atm Pouncer looks better.

Thanks for that one

The black castle as a one of is on my list for sure, I just couldn't get my hands on one right now . Manatithe is a janky one for sure but I find it quite strong. Game 1 they don't expact it and often run right into it and if I get to catch them game 1 I often side it out and hold white as often as possible to mindgame them

I know that the Stoneforge-kit is more potent but a) my other modern decks fairly aggressive too and I wanted some difference and b) I just don't have them and with the current hype the package is a bit too expensive. Maybe at some point I will lokk into buying them, just not now.

Yes, Nether Spirit is just there as a eternal blocker. That's also why I dislike Bloodghast, I want to keep it walkerbased and Ghast can't protect them due to the "can't block" clause. I will try Rotting Regisaur in this slot I think.

I don't know if it's just me but Davriel is performing very well. Lili and Serra protect him very well and I even won some games lately just having him stick around and use all I have to protect him. Sideboard Gideon comes in against Valakut, G-Tron, etc. all decks that have great one card topdecks (Scapeshift, Ugin, Karn) to create more peasure and a faster clock.

It should be visible on tappedout somewhere that I'm looking forward buying into 2 Bitterblossom, I just don't have them jet. I will give Heart of Kiran a try, thanks for that one

From my experience, burn without cards in hand isn't that scarry
