I guess I blanked on that. I wanted the obvious WW plan and just adding some sort of card advantage.
Would Black splash for Bob be good? The dissynergy of setting him up or luck ability with Mox Diamond could work. The deck idea just needs tempo, slowing them down is good, but then we still need to finish them off before they find a way through.
I probably should also find an answer to Massacre, which wrecks the deck outright

I'm in a no-proxy, rather toned down meta. Had to preface that so you can see my ideas are skewed.
Now I would make an argument that this could be ust another hate-bear, or it could be the etra piece of hate that gets others innovating W/x hate decks again.
If you use Jotun Grunts, it is is enough to matter, fight dredge, and recycles your used strip-effets
I was thinking that to fight the aggro matchs you could have things like Sunscour (terrible, but cost efficient), black for removal (meh plan, but access to Bob and Perish), or you could just handle Fish as Fish handles other decks (Run our own Goyfs and Swords).
On that last idea, Path to Exile is amazing when they have to pay 2 to get their possibly non-existent basic.
I think punting being on the draw to MUD is inevitable. You can hope for Abolish, Seal, Pridemate, etc. But either way it comes down to how they lock you out. If it is the Golem, use ESG and Path. Sphere, lay a land and play Abolish. If anything, the bigger problem is the more draw oriented combo decks.
I firmly believe this will be something I grab 4x of early and try out in person. There are so many hate-bears in just WW, that it could be done so cheaply and the results per $ would justify the investment.
Deck Idea for WW hate:
4x Leonin Arbiter (Tutor) 4x Ethersworn Cannonist (Storm) 4x Jotun Grunt (Dredge/Recursion) 3x Aven Mindcensor (Tutors) 4x Ictacian Jailineer (anti-Bob and Welder) 3x True Believer (Oath)
4x Path to Exile 3x Aura of Silence 1x Seal of Cleansing 3x Enlightened Tutor
5x Open Slot (Maybe Land Tax)
4x Mox Diamond 4x Wasteland 4x Ghost Quarter 1x Strip Mine 9x Plains
SB: Tariff Leyline of Sanctity Orim's Chant Silence Abeyance Swords Steelshaper Mystic (w/ Jitte or SoFI) Ronom Unicorn Seal of Cleaning Pithing Needle Null Rod
I like the simplicity and nostalgic feel of bringing budget to fight Oath or Mud

Currently at 53 cards and need help building a sideboard, I have Allot of rogue decks in my meta Currently there is Dredge, Merfolk Standstill, A Tombstone Stairwell Mill deck, a Version of Solidarity, a valakut based deck, zombies aggro, and allot of other random things.
[DECK]Lands: 4x Underground Sea 2x Scalding Tarn 4x Marsh Flats 4x Gemstone Mine
Instant: 1x Echoing Truth 1x Chain of Vapor 4x Force of Will 4x Dark Ritual 2x Intuition 1x Vampiric Tutor 3x Entomb 1x Brainstorm 1x Disrupt
Sorcery: 1x Ponder 3x Careful Study 3x Thoughtseize 4x Duress 2x Buried Alive 1x Demonic Tutor
Enchantment: 2x Animate Dead 1x Dance of the Dead
Creature: 3x Worldgorger Dragon [/DECK]
I was thinking of veilstone amulet to protect the combo from everything but counters as its a global effect and only requires a cast not a resolve.
