{"ops":[{"insert":"Any tips for building a GPG deck in Pioneer? I have played it twice now at FNM and it has done ok but seems to be missing something. This may be because I was lacking a decent sideboard to deal with artifacts and enchantments that basically shut down GPG. Also seems to be a little slow to get the gift onto the battlefield. Is 21 lands a good number?\n\nHere is a link to my current deck- I am new to Magic so any criticism is appreciated. \n\nhttps://archidekt.com/decks/295028#UW_God-Pharaoh's_Gift\n\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I think the list is pretty good as is, but you may be able to make some big changes for a much better deck. The best change I can think of would be to splash black for Scarab God. A splash of black would allow you to use one of the most underated cards in the format, scarab god. Scarab God is an incredible card that effectively lets you turn this into a new deck that I am thinking of a name of now. It would also allow for more self/opponent mill that comes with dmir. I may be wrong on this, but I think that it could really improve it.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Scarab God Pharaoh's Gift! Nice idea man, it seems like he would really fit into this deck nicely. I would love to run four of him but he's like 20 bucks right now. What is your opinion on having both Refurbish and Gate to the Afterlife? I had a couple people suggest removing Refurbish to make a little room for something else.\n\nI've taken out two negate, one Angel of Invention and the Sphinx of the Final Word and added four Striped Riverwinder (one mana cycling, hexproof).\n\nThanks for the feedback\n"}]}
