Kavu Predator (don’t even worry about it, he combos with Grove)

So the null hypothesis is that this deck won’t be good. If anyone is brave enough to try and reject the null hypothesis remember not to cut Kavu Predator b/c he increases the power of the experiment, and that’s the best way to achieve statistical significance. Also don’t cut Compost b/c this companion is probably trash.

On a more serious note the Delver skeleton is pretty well preserved in terms of creature and spell type totals. There are probably some better cantrips and burn spells to upgrade to. Wouldn’t touch the P-Fire/Grove/Kavu stuff though since Lurrus has lifelink and that’s a thing right now. The Mindbreak could be some other counterspell and maybe there’s yard hate optimizations to be had. Some other directions for the deck could include things like Carpet of Flowers, Berserk (doubles as removal), perhaps actual Regrowth (since companion is a Fork) and/or another utility land.

If people are getting away with 80 card decks, who knows...maybe legacy singleton can be a thing. As much of a meme as the list is, the maindeck and SB card selections and structure are intended to be as competitive as possible (so let’s not advocate for a Dryad Arbor even though you see a GSZ).
