I feel like bat spell has come in clutch for me in a lot of fights. Against aggro abyss/dragon, the early healing sources throws a bit of a wrench in their "UNGA BUNGA SWING FACE" plan. In the midgame bats + vuella + SEVO bat, or Olivia+bats double SEVO has given me relevant healing to pull myself out of range of Albert or a CQCQ midrange abyss cerb turn.
>but they brick Cerb
It's not all upside, but I think it's worth it. Cerb's most powerful plays are from her fanfare, not her SEVO. It's also only 3 cards in the deck that can mess with cerb's SEVO, so in many games cerb can still SEVO just fine.

>I went 2-3, incredibly unhappy with the initial run but my heart is also not in it and I might skip GP this time altogether, I've been playing Dirt Rune more than Abyss lately.
I'm not sure how well things are going to fare for me in stage 2. My matches this time were:
>Ward haven
>Roach
>CQCQ midrange abyss
>Spellboost rune
>Spellboost rune
Overall I feel great vs stuff like ward haven/ramp dragon/all flavors of abyss. Sword and roach are a bit of a tossup, and normally my matchup vs spellboost is abysmal. Aragavy came in clutch tonight vs roach and both spellboosts and helped me storm face before they could combo out.
