SB: 2 Ray of Revelation
SB: 2 Ancient Grudge
SB: 1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
SB: 1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
SB: 3 Putrid Imp
SB: 2 Tireless Tribe
I had 4x PImps in the main, but frankly, I've liked Careful Study, Dredgers, and land more. I'm not even sold on the singleton in the main. I can't seem to find what I want for that spot though. If I really want the ability to grind, I can side in the permanent outlets. Most of the time, I just want my draw spells to do most all of my dirty work.
Ray is looking worse and worse. I think Leyline/Wheel looks worse and worse, and Cage better and better. I may eventually lose them (a surprise to me), but they stay for now.
Also, thank you for your argument about DDDing, Final Fortune. The argument is not new to me, I've just been a bit dogmatic in always wanting to be on the play with LED/Faithless Looting variants. I haven't actually spent much time actually trying out DDD, and I should have (*the argument for a such a practice was much stronger before Faithless Looting, both for LED and LEDless). You might be right. I'm going to have to at least try it.
peace,
