So cool, I probably have 4gb+ of updates queued since I haven't opened MTG:A since two rotations ago, but I always love seeing a nice Orzhov deck climbing well. That said, it looks as if black is really just a splash, perhaps you could get away with less swamps and still not be mana-screwed? Just a thought, you probably know way more about magic than me, I don't even ladder lol.

Hahaha yeah it was quite a bit of rotations for me and I think I had over that of updates. Oh I only play limited (drafts and sealed) I mean I do well in constructed and reach mythic there when I play as well, but the gaming environment is a bit stale for me. So there is a dual colored land so it is 8, 8, 1 which you can't see and the reason I do that is cause I have hero's downfall and hitting my 3 drop is really critical here. Let's say my splash was later in curve like turn 4-5 then I'd put 5-6 swamps only but since 3 is a major pivot point of the deck to drop 1 of 3 desperate farmers we want to be able to cast that on turn. In also only 1 card require double white early but that card is a turn 6+ play for optimization anyways. We only need 1 effective mana of each color to open up utility. Thanks for stopping by.
lol, I know the feeling, and ah, I didn't realize you played limited only, makes sense now. Also, the 8-8-1 split makes a lot of sense too, especially considering your curve and the importance of turn 3 for your deck, thanks for the explanation and wishing you a great holiday season! 🙏
