2019-01-31 Iron Buffalo 2-1 with Dredge

Decklist: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1606619#paper with a SB Thoughtseize

R1 vs Jon on Jund (1-2, 0-1)
Lost to GY hate creatures. I really need to check out Jund lists - determine efficacy of Ancient Grudges/Abrades/Nature's Claims vs Lightning Axes (hit Scooze, Kalitas)

R2 vs Adam on Jund (2-0, 1-1)
He only had one piece of hate - Scooze. Both games I was able to answer it -> win

R3 vs Ken on Eldrazi Tron (2-1, 2-1)
In between games we discuss the weirdness of Conflagrate: When flashing it back for X=4 (targeting a TKS), the CMC of the spell on the stack is actually 9. This is non-intuitive, since 9 mana was definitely not spent. Basically, when casting a card using an alternate casting cost, you choose a value for X and pay costs accordingly. Then X is applied across all instances in the spell, including the XXR mana cost.
Game 2 neither my 7 or 6 card hands have lands. I wait to see what hate he's brought in - see a Relic & known Chalice, then I concede to TKS to hide Damping Sphere.
Game 3 I have 2 lands, Damping Sphere, some looting action. I find an Ancient Grudge which does quite the work. Pretty grindy as heck, but he doesn't have Tron or Eldrazi acceleration so I win eventually.
He even told me that he was asking about Conflagrate for the purpose of Warping Wail, not Chalice of the Void, but then I walked into it anyways lol oops.

Thoughts:

Deck feels strong, hard to beat Scavenging Ooze and other hate. There are several axes of graveyard hate and I need to be able to navigate around each of them.
