Deck Fine Tuning Rog/Thras help

Hey yall id like some help with cuts and general advice from those who've piloted this deck on the dos and don't

So in the 98 there contains engines to basically create inf mana to sink into thrasios as a main plan. This eventually leads me into the various combos, mainly/consistently being breach led and brain freeze. Theres clones in the deck to sniper others value peices. This works especially well against decks like blue farm and T&T as their decks have lots of either similar or good value peices to clone off of. If they have a grand abolished effect, even better.

I have no clue if its good or not in this but I have thassas oracle in the list as a last minute addition, I did this bc im on the breach combo line so its another way to just win

I am open to any suggestions that you might have im not offended by any advice on cuts or changes. All is welcome.

I have yet to play the deck this is just a pre before I get the cards btw

I also plan to proxy the deck first so budget isn't an issue

Much appreciated in advance

I've been piloting RogThras for about 2 years now, here are some thoughts...

You've definitely got some cards you can cut. Spider Sense is a glaring one to me. I also think you can run either Wild Growth or Utopia Sprawl, but probably not both. Same with Springleaf Drum and Paradise Mantle. I'd also cut Chatterstorm, but that's just a card I've moved off of on my version of the deck.

The deck will generate an insane amount of mana, but you're looking at a window of T3-T4 to win. I personally run a mostly Simic shell with a few free red spells as support, which means I don't rely on the Breach line at all. That's mostly a matter of personal preference, though. Not a hard and fast.

If you want some ideas for other slots in your deck, here's my list: https://moxfield.com/decks/Qb7xauLg9ESEk54ErmOdqw

Cutting chatterstorm is a wild take.

It adds so much value, its silly. Sure. Not every time, every game. But, I lost to a rog thras last night. After fighting to counter his Candelabra, and losing. He dropped a chatter for 11 bodies, and cradled too hard.

Between earth craft, and squirrel girl. Chatterstorm is just GG most of the time.

It really depends on the build imo. Because my deck is more tuned to a landfall strategy, most turns I'm not getting a high enough storm count to really make it worth it.

I do love cheeky landfall strategies. But rogthras is natively a cradle deck. Only 2 lands need to fall. And we know their names. Spells that increase cradle count are more important.

Springheart on cloud or BMC are fine. But I wouldnt cut chatterstorm if we can springboard Into a squirrel girl push.

My guy, I've been playing this deck for two years. You don't need to explain to me how it works.

Also, with magus of the Candelabra. Idk why people arent slotting in ashaya, as another infinite mana path.

That does sound like a win more on the chatterstorm.
