also shout out to this deck from an opponent i played against who made top 8. love seeing more evidence that the baneslayer strategy is strong

in earlier rounds, i played against mostly aggro so i was glad that i had a consistent manabase and the Prospectors. but in later rounds, games were really grindy. when i was building i didnt think i needed the extra power but in hindsight i shouldve splashed codecracker & mouth

2-0 against UB
1-2 against WU (very well played @turbotuli.bsky.social)
2-0 against GWU
2-1 against GW
2-0 against five-color Gates

Only sideboard change in the run was bringing in an Ingenious Skaab and a Devour Flesh against GW
