Thanks! And thanks for the tip on Murderous Rider. I left
Mortify in there for now to deal with of
cavalcade of calamity. (I built this pre-rotation when that thing was all over the place.) If the meta shifts away from that, that's a great swap! Being able to hit a planeswalker (oko) seems more important now than calamity. (lifegain offsets calamity pretty well on it's own, but I ultimate Ajani a lot with this deck, and calamity keeps me off of the 35 needed for that.)
Played another event and won 6 games in the recent arena "win every card in standard" challenge. Both losses that knocked me out were to Golos Gates. :-/ (I did beat it once though! I had a hawk, 2 celebrants, a bloodthirsty arielist and the
cauldron familiar/oven combo online. The arielist was getting huge with me sacking the familiar on their turn with the celebrants online. They eventually found their Giant board wipe and cleared the board, but with all of the celebrant triggers stacked up, they ended up with one life, so recasting the
Cauldron Familiar won me the game
