This deck had so many hard-to-spot synergies. I especially love the inclusion of cards like relic of legends and virtue of persistance, old classics that take full advantage of the new mechanics.

Playing for flavor vs playing for the win. It was sad to see him not go for it with the Seraph and just hard focus getting Kona out but it is nice to see lines like that are in the deck for when you need to pull off a sneaky evasive move to secure the kill. I like this deck honestly but seeing that play missed was big sadge. Good spot

It does, but could always add more. The issue with adding too much removal is that it lacks synergy with our main gameplan. At least we can find Hovership with Rip and use it to tap our creatures. Virtue of Persistance is good to put in play with Kona. We don't have those same synergies with Go for the Throat.
