From the start, that was an error corrected in sideboard...somehow i didn't include prison term. I sided out barksheel blessing (in a heartbeat). Aside from that emabrassing mistake it went quite well. 2 out of 3 opponents seemed quite experienced, and it was a fun series of games.

Observations: Aethertow is so good. The aura's are just lovely. Get them down with an aethertow or two in hand...and you just keep them from doing anything about it. But aside from that last breath is really quite good too.



Also, didn't use godhead even once. The one time I drew it...I was beating down just fine without it, just held it in reserve.

By way of clarification, that's I didn't use the Godhead of Awe once, steel of the godhead got used plenty.

Aethertow definitely worth the bounce and no draw. I have found that any of the "god" enchantments are great with the corresponding dual color 3/3 for 4cc or the corresponding color "pump" per spells critters. Very fond of Mono-red with RB and RG critters with fists or deus enchants (RB first strike-wither awesome and same with doublestrike-trample)
