IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?
I was looking for a Swedish Old School Deck that had a decent matchup vs. the deck and also fit my preferred play style (tempo).

Since getting into Old School in ~2017 I had been strongly on Team Serendib Efreet, and after playing my way through many of the tier 1 to tier 2 decks in the format I was also a big proponent of Psionic Blast. The struggle though is that trying to fit 4 Serendib and 4 Psionic Blast (and usually 4 City of Brass) in the same deck is very tricky. That’s a lot of life loss to overcome! I eventually realised I could play less than the full 4 Serendibs and still play 4 of each of Psionic Blast and City of Brass.

​
SIDEBOARD SUGGESTIONS?
You really need a plan against Blood Moon, plan A is Su-Chi!​​
