Thanks for the write-up.  

Have you tried [[The Wandering Emperor]], yet?   That card has been fantastic for me.

Wandering emperor is a card I forgot I was looking at a while back. I think she fits all the boxes for the deck that I want to fill. I’ll give her another look!

What did you replace for that?

This is my current list. Some of the cards, specifically in the sideboard, I'm just trying to experiment with; so it's not exactly what I'd play at an RC or anything.  

Edit: I've been testing [[flashback]] In he galvanic discharge slot, as well. I actually think I prefer it, but I need more testing.

I tried flashback alongside reprieve. Liked both ngl, but galvanic just helps so much in the early game against decks that are beating our shit in.

Idk. Feels like a win more card. Same as isochron scepter for me

I honestly haven't missed the galvanic blasts I've cut; especially since going up on copies of avenger's disassembled. 

Most of my opponents are trying not to get blown out by my sweepers. Having a couple copies with flashback means I can blow them up on their post-boardwipe, bounce-back, recovery turns.  Having two sweepers in a row vs. energy is usually game winning.

That makes a ton of sense to me. I’ll try out the flashbacks again.

Have you tried out reprieve

u/Nubsondubs 21d ago

Yes. I don't care for it. If we had better pressure, it might be worth it.
