You could run ancient tomb but it could we can your man I base below the recommended level. If you check primer I've outlined the minimum Manno face that you should kind of use as a guideline. If you go below the amount of wins that produce Black or green then you're going to start risking not being able to cast your critical spells in exchange for a possible slight advantage in very narrow cases.
