Syr Gwyn Revisited (7/20/2022)

[Jesterskull]

Got rid of Underground. Because every time I had it during testing.... I could never use it.... So traded it for a Mana gaining Goblin.

Also debating of getting rid of Canyon S.... because I never use the cycling. (debating what to replace it with.)

Might just get rid of Angel of Destiny and revert back and decide a different finisher.

More I have thought about it, more I realize how bad AoD is.

Reverted, because the land didn't actually work out the way I wanted

[Jesterskull]

So replaced one of the lands with a fast lands, because I want to just finish this deck and I am not waiting that land to come out in Commander Legends two months from now.... and I just want to end updating. So next update is just gonna be a visual one... when I can.... Mostly because of "Best Rider, Sky Temple" // "Sky Temple" that hasn't been updated yet.

I am thankful that this site was able to help me so much deciding on my deck.

Revision 173

Added/removed cards:
-1 Spectator Seating
+1 Inspiring Vantage

As a tech choice i'd recommend swapping out Zurzoth, Chaos Rider for the black enchantment tainted Remedy. Zurzoth does make bodies but they have no type, and he makes you discard randomly which means you might accidentally throw away combo pieces in your hand. If you want efficiency in your plays and consistency in your execution you want to avoid the confusion and randomness (unless the chaos IS the theme of the deck). By adding tainted remedy you keep opponents from gaining life and any life-linkers they may have will actually hurt them too. With your angel of destiny and this enchantment then you can mow down people's life totals. This also helps you because you're focusing on combat so the last thing you want is them gaining life on you since you have to swing every turn to keep them in check. Also if life gain is a win condition for you then you might also want to add true conviction. This way your knights hit a bit harder on the battlefield AND you get some life link as well. What are your thoughts on this?
