Estrid, Wrapup

Alright, I think I've had enough.

And no, it isn't because I think that this take on Estrid is bad. But three Commander decks in a row have burnt me out a bit on the format.

Just in time for the NEW Commander decks! But that's OK; it's a good time for a break.

More importantly, the final changes are working, at least 1v1.

In games against Fuz and Noah, I was able to put some solid resistance up, and my toolbox of cards finally gave me the options I was hoping to find..

There is, however a little glitch that Noah pointed out in our game: Starfield of Nyx doesn't play nice with Ground Seal.

Which is a bummer, because Ground Seal is pretty useful against a lot of strategies in Commander and the Starfield represents one of my win conditions. However, I have an option: Night Soil is available and could handle a lot of problems common to the format.

I'm liking another suggestion, though, from Matt; Mirari's Wake. Solves mana issues at any stage of the game, is a boost to my creatures and could give Helix Pinnacle a massive boost. Seems like a pretty good deal, right?

But as always: Why not both? So out comes Aura Gnarlid (sorry little feller, you can be huge but sacrifices must be made) for the Wake.

Finally, as much as I love Loyal Unicorn (that card just messes with everyone's combat math) it is, thematically, incorrect here. Heliod, God of the Sun makes more sense, and is another fantastic mana sink, should I need it. That leaves me with this:
