I removed a tendrils and a rebuild for tinker and DSC maindeck. The free slots side where filled with 1 tog (against aggro) and a rebuild. I was very happy with my list, de DSC maindeck was absolutely an improvement. I sided tog once against dawn of the dead and it was amazing. I thought long and hard what to put in the last free slot (I narrowed it down to: extirpate, the second tendrils of agony, hurkyl’s recall or rebuild), but finally opted for the rebuild. I had the feeling that with rebuild removed from main and side, the matchup against workshops was less favourable.
I have written a report, but it is written in Dutch. If anyone is interested pm me.
I did not play the best magic this tournament (made at least 2 huge mistakes), but I noticed that the deck is very forgiving. It matches my play style, as in; play like you will draw your answers and have confidence in your draws.
All in all; excellent work on the list Cody!
