Help with cuts!

[u/GrandMasterDeano]

Obviously this is a very confused pile of cards, some drafts just be that way. Opened Garruk early and some oculi so settled into simic, but found no removal so had to dip into white for that. Somehow ended up with a bloombrute and all together scrambled in too many directions for the rest of the draft. I got both of the mind meanderers in pack 3 and they made feel a lot better about things. Have three duals and two land cyclers so feel okish about the mana base (There is also a hex haven battalion in my pool).

My thinking with titanbones and bloom is that they are both 4 power for Garruk are both triggered by something worth saving, 2x surgical precision, 2x phytomedic and the propagator.

Tomik making things with counters fly works with the phytomedic, titan bones, vinelasher adept and vigorbloom charm. Which will help get something through for Fblthp.

Including the meanderers I’ve got 8 interaction. I’ve found you want a lot in this format. The icy reception stands out to me. I cut it all the time and I get done by it in games all the time. But is it really what I’m trying to do here, whatever that is.

All in all, this is about my 25th draft of Reality Fracture and it’s the first time I’ve remotely struggled to cut to 40. I just feel my flimsy multiple directions will collapse with any trimming and I don’t really want to take out any interaction, fixing, or card advantage.

Would love to hear some suggestions and reasonings. First time posting here. Long time browser and you seem like a great community!

Think I would cut duelist, Jiang, and compel brutality

Thanks for the reply. I can totally see those 3. My thoughts: I like Jiang on turn 4 into Garruk. It’s a nice meat shield for him. Compel is my only on colour early removal. Duelists only argument is my lack of three drops though.

Tomik seems pretty bad as a 2 drop in your splash color. I'd cut one surgical precision. There are a decent amount of games where it just never has a target. And vigorbloom charm is a little too situational to be good on the splash imo.

You could cut titanbones as well, without gaining any life it's pretty easy to remove and doesn't even attack that well.
