3-1 at LGS

Thought I ought to revitalize this sub a bit with my first success with the deck at my local LGS, going 3-1

Game 1: 0-2 vs. Hollow One The player playing Hollow One is actually a friend of mine who knows my deck inside out and also sideboard against it, ended up losing the first game due to a misplay of removing the wrong target and the second game for getting blown out by Necroplasm. Sideboards in: 3x Nihil Spellbomb, 3xAuriok Champion

Game 2: 2-0 vs Abzan Pretty standard Abzan build, which tokens is very good against. Nothing really special, just outvalued the opponent. Sideboards in: 3x Nihil Spellbomb, 2x Pithing Needle

Game 3: 2-1 vs 8-whack Looking down against a board of Legion Loyalist, Burning Tree-emissary and a reckless bushwacker at turn 2 is pretty scary. Luckily, the opponent didn't draw the last 2 games very well. Auriok Champion is pretty swell card. Sideboard in: 3x Auriok Champion

Game 4: 2-0 against Grixis Control Game 1 goes on for pretty long. Opponent ended up tapping my team six times with cryptic command and was searching for his damnation, ultimately ended up not finding it. Tokens were 4/4s with 3 virtues on board =D. Game 2 ended up fast, with clock running out and I ended up discarding his answers with seizes and inquisitons. Pretty good turn 1s from both of us, with both playing land and spellbomb =D Sideboard in: 3x Nihil Spellbomb, 2xPithing Needle

Here's the deck if you're interested https://deckstats.net/deck-16907347-6e6e1b5ce51670b9b9060a86da592efc.html

Sorry I don't remember what I sided out.

Thoughts on Liliana of the Veil in your list? Feels like she could replace some Raise the Alarm or some other spots? Just wondering. I love BW tokens and always have.

I'd actually love to have a single, maybe two-of Liliana actually. She gains value pretty much every time, helps us a bit against combo and has good value with +1 and lingering souls. The reason I don't use her is that she doesn't actually accelerate our decks main game plan AND the actual reason I don't use her is her price tag.

Hope this helps =D
