I was trying to add Dragon Fangs, Faithless looting, and some number of Ulamog's Crusher into my list. I also was trying to get a modified theme going with Devoted Druid and Kami's Flare.
I believe the best you can do is 16 damage in the second match. There are two sixteen damage lines. Unearth the gatekeeper into iguanar into birthing which is 10 damage (first gatekeeper, two from iguanar, six from birthing, and one from the spawn dying to pay for iguanar), then swing with both gatekeepers, which would be 2 damage from their chump blocks (iguanar sees their spawn dying), then if you sac your four remaining spawn you get sixteen. The other line goes iguanar into double birthing, you get 9 damage as well but can sac your six remaining spawn for 15, attack to force another one, getting 16. You'd likely hold up those six spawn though, for chumping, and not swing with the gatekeeper, so only do 9. But most all your spawns will chump so you get the damage on their swing. I think you take this line to play around you meet in the tavern, and I think a few cards can shore up the game from there for you, including impact tremors. Then on your next turn you have impact tremors into unearthed gatekeeper into casted gatekeeper which is five damage, so lethal right there (you also have lethal from combat damage without impact tremors). With some flexibility as you can swing for six too. I feel like a lot of lines are pretty solid for you, but I like how this one leaves you with a lot of options, I'm not sure which is optimal, maybe the line you took because it doesn't require you to draw anything to secure the win, but does require your opponent to let you take the initiative. Regardless, good plays I think you found one of multiple fine lines!
@@glennkuban7964 Glimmer Bairn is a hilarious card and used to be prominent in a deck that was dubbed "atog at home" I forget if it was buy Caleb Gannon or snapbolts games. But it's a great card and id love to see it come back!
I love how beefy chrysalis lists can be. What do you think about a rough 38 like this? 4x dread return 4x malevolent rumble 4x nest invader 4x eldrazi repurposer 4x writing chrysalis 4x thorn of the black rose 4x avenging hunter 4x cleansing wildfire 4x galvanic blast 2x blood fountain Rough 38 with 22 lands built around bridges for wildfire
Looks good!
Thanks! Pretty happy with it. But I know there are definitely changed that can be made.

That sounds like alov of stuff to make work!
@@saltandpauper that's where I was running into problems
@@mayonaise000 yeah sounds like that's 2 decks to me. We should discuss more and see if we can slim the ideas down

@@logancary thanks! I really enjoyed playing this deck! So many interactions and meaningful sequences!
You got this❤
Thanks! Happy to be sharing something new. Excited to see what ideas everyone has!
You've inspired me to try, or influence you, to try a tokens deck with glimmer bairn.

@@devangoad I love wildfire. But I feel like dread return might not be what you need either a cascade top end or another draw spell might be better
