Hey y’all, just dipping my foot into this community and wanted to share my favorite (and only current) list. I’ve put a ton of time scouring scryfall for niche black cards to help out the cradle strat, so please feel free to drop any suggestions!

Have only been to 4 tournaments so far, but have top 16’d two 100+ Convoke events.

Grim Servant seems insane and a super cool include. Love seeing people try cards not everyone else is on. How has Gene Pollinator felt? The card reads a little slow to me but I havent tested it anywhere yet.

Thanks for the hype! Gene is a pet card of mine I guess. Since I am running OBM in my list, I am open to having people copying it and mowing down my board. Having 2 toughness dorks helps stop that. It also helps in fixing as usually I am going Dork Turn 1 → Thras Turn 2, and am able to tap thras for mana.

27 different cards from a list I was playing a couple of months ago. I enjoyed the deck but I always felt I was just building towards doing something be never getting the cards to do it (maybe the 27 different cards have something to do with it idk) cool to see you are having success on the deck. Your list also reminded me I wanted to pick up grim servant for my deck (forgot the name)

In case you were wondering what the 27 cards are here is the list

1 Wishclaw Talisman

1 Tainted Pact

1 Assassin’s Trophy

1 City of Traitors

1 Culling the Weak

1 Emergence Zone

1 Thassa’s Oracle

1 Magus of the Candelabra

1 Kiora’s Follower

1 Endurance

1 Elvish Spirit Guide

1 Displacer Kitten

1 Gifts Ungiven

1 Machine God’s Effigy

1 Life // Death

1 Yavimaya Coast

1 Mistrise Village

1 Arcane Signet

I kind of see where you’re coming from. The deck requires you to break your brain a bit, like the untappers you listed, Kinnan, and the One Ring are all ironically not the greatest as they don’t benefit “The Plan”. I wish I was good at video making cause I feel like when I type it out it sounds like nonsense lol.
