1st standard event -> went 7-1

To do

• adjust the mana base

Changes version 1.0

• add more card draw engine (another into the story, cutting one opt)
• don't know what to think about Drown in the Loch, it doesn't feel optimal if you don't have a turn 1 Merfolk Secretkeeper (still testing)
• Disinformation Campaign probably it's more of a sideboard tool against control match ups
• I want another top-end bomb like Ugin, the Ineffable it probably gets the slot of Disinformation Campaign
• More countermagic in the form of Sinister Sabotage might be good as well, with Lochmere Serpent we could play the flash game

Note on the match ups

Bo1:

• Against simic flash i found out that we are a bit favoured due to we are running countermagic as well and we have good tools in Lochmere Serpent to play their own game, longer the game, more in our favour it is, and we can play a lot of instant speed spells other than Serpent
• Aggro in general: Slightly unfavoured. I think we have the tools that we need to combat aggro but we need to get there to use them, so it comes to if we turn the corner and stabilize or not.
• Oven decks: Slightly unfavoured. It is the same situation as aggro, we have the potential stabilize power but we need to get there. Important upside, Blast Zone is a really good tool to combat oven decks due to it destroys ovens with no need of wasting mana on pumping it.

Added sideboard:

• Leyline against oven decks, here the move is to side out serpent due to leyline makes really difficult to bring back serpent.
• ETGE for aggro match ups, here siding out also serpent as it is slow and we also want to cut a big planeswalker, key takeaway, if we get to turn 6-7 above 10 life against aggro decks we are in really good shape.
• Negate, duress, 2nd serpent go in against other control decks, 2nd serpent is good because we enhance our chance to draw one copy.
• Aether gust & noxious grasp go in against the hate colors, note: i think there is no point in adding noxious grasp against white decks/decks with no green, meaning there is little to no point to side in grasp against only teferi time raveler. you want to target green stuff like nissa, questing beast...
• Negate vs Mystical dispute vs disdainful stroke: I'm not sure about negate fullfilling its role in our sideboard. I think mystical dispute is a really good sideboard option if you are facing lots of blue decks. Disdainful stroke is good against midrange and control, probably it will make his way in.
• Massacre girl is there to combat swarm tactics, really helpful at that.

Thoughts on the main deck

At 1st i was thinking to add more countermagic spells but I think I might end up cutting the Sinister Sabotages in favor of more proactive spells like Narset, Parter of Veils to find tools for specific match ups or Cavalier of Gales to add another end game threat which keeps coming if it isn't exiled.
