All I can really say about this sealed pool is, Nice Mana Base. The fixers I opened allowed me to play all of my good spells. All the while having a very stable mana base that had some good acceleration in it. I also was given a ton of sideboarding options with the pool.
If I had to do it again the only changes I would make are -1 Scion of Oona, -1 Dreamspoiler Witches, +1 Battlewand Oak, +1 Inkfathom Divers. I wouldn't change the mana at all for the switches.


As far as power level goes for this deck I feel that its about a B to mabye a B+. The deck can definitly do some very powerful things. Coupled with good removal and a good amount of evasion. But there are also alot of draws that just felt akward when I was playing. Like drawing a Rejeery and none of the other Merfolk... or Scion of Onna and no faries. The deck and also would just randomly just mana fuck itself because it is 4 colors. Spellstutter Sprite, Scion of Oona and Kithkin Daggerdare normally will never make the cut either... espcially not all of them in the same deck. It also is lacking in a true bomb rare... You know the rare you rip of the top and know you are not going to be able to lose this game if you try bomb rare... Yes Galepowder Mage is nice... and I have a Shriekmaw and Pilferers to go with it... but I never got it to happen once in 8 rounds.

This is definitely the most solid out of all our pools. The Galepowder/187s would have been nice, but it is just as good with clash creatures for card selection. Ashling looks good, but I can't see boarding him into your deck unless you are playing dumb.opponent and he's my proverbial 1R, target player discards a removal spell.

The rule of get good Rares - and especially Uncommons - seems to hold here.

May I get a similar or better pool on the 1st.
