Not sure if I should be necroing an existing thread, but none of them seemed directly relevant!
There's a paper event coming up (I'm expecting most like 30-40 players) and It's looking like I'll be on Thieves. I'm aware it's not as competitive as a xerox variant (what I'd gravitate to otherwise), it's just a deck I find really enjoyable. I'm not expecting to take the day, at this point I'm just aiming to maximise whatever wins I can scrape out.
I've played it a bit online and was reasonably comfortable in the pre-war meta, but haven't really had much of a chance to test in the post-War meta. The list I've been using is cribbed mostly from Moatzu. I've included what I plan to run below, but wouldn't mind some feedback. I've been considering changing gifts out for a Narset (could possibly swap a Jace out as well, but I think I, in theory, prefer the Jace). There's a cratermaker in the main as a hedge against Karn, plus it has some fairly broad utility. There's also possibly an argument for changing tremors into the board for Notion Thief, but I'm expecting to see more nonsense like Eldrazi or other hatebear decks. There's also some consideration in changing the second fluster into a pyroblast or even a spell pierce for better game against opposing Narsets. I'd love to hear any suggestions
