I took a semi-budget (3 Geese, 2 Once, 3 Wolves, 3 Passages) version out last night, going 2-1. No duh, the dominant meta deck is good. It is disconcerting to be wearing the target less than a week into the new post-Field-ban meta, but that is the world we live in. I lost 0-2 to an artifact and enchantment Gingerbrute aggro deck, but also a bad keep, awkward draws and a sloppy manabase.
I randomly got a promo pack with a Once Upon a Time and traded for the fourth Goose, so I am calling it a win. I will edit in a list later, but you should probably defer to a top 16 list from the
MCQW.
I started with
Dav3m's Sultai Walkers. Since I play at FNM-level where people don't all want to buy Okos, I don't preboard for the mirror. Last night my meta had 2 Oko decks out of 9 (one other than mine) and I think I should expect the meta to be 20-25% Food.
That is what I would run if I had all the cards. In reality, I don't have all the cards in paper. I am making the following substitutions: 1 Wicked Wolf → 1 Voracious Hydra; 1 Fabled Passage → 1 Temple of Malady; 1 Once Upon a Time → 1 Castle Locthwain
