Mainboard Changelist+1, -1
January 2022 Update

First few drafts with the list have been feeling good - we're just starting to understand and get familiar with all the themes. Many archetypes still need to be properly tested, but overall, things look promising from a balance and gameplay perspective.

This first update is a tiny change - substituting a parasitic reanimator card for another that supports more themes in b. Voldaren Bloodcaster fills the discard outlet role, but also provides artifact fodder for the r welder-style decks.

I'll be keeping an eye on a few main concerns moving forward:

  1. Does aggro need help? (Specifically, wx historic aggro and r)
  2. Is u too strong? Cube tends to lean this way, and the artifact focus of this list means I'll need to be extra careful.
  3. Is the artifact ramp diluting g color-pie space? If every color can ramp HARD, should I be pivoting green's themes elsewhere, or not? Time will tell.
