that said, if you’re working towards a tirion, you could probably get away with annoyotron/psychotron for a little while.

Unfortunately, if you’re playing palladin you really need tirion, he’s probably the best card in paladin

God damn this deck is fun to play. I feel like the deck needs more hard removal that doesn’t break the combo (it hurts to throw away embrace the shadows against a zoo deck). I’m not sure what I’d recommend you take out, but I’ve been throwing around adding more of the 3 shadow words and it seems to help. Either way, crazy fun.

I get the feeling behind not wanting nourish. I did test a list with them for a few games after Cameldd recommended, and while the deck felt stronger on the perfect run, it didn’t feel as consistent. I think I’d still prefer at least one. That said, I do think I’ll update the list to remove a nourish permanently.
I do recommend Chillmaw, but I don’t think he’s so amazing that he should be required. You can definitely drop nefarian for him, and maybe alex. That said, he’s probably the most important sub you can make.

Thanks dude. As you said the name is actually based on that mtg deck. It was my first real deck.
As far as nourish goes I’ll look into playing without it. Part of why I like it is that it lets me play a 2 mana spell after I add the mana crystals. I definitely wouldn’t drop more than 1. I’m going to edit the deck for BGH as a sub card btw, thank you for the recommendation.
