I cycle my wraith when he activates DRS on his turn two and I hit a Troll and a narcomoeba, this game turns out to be quite grindy with his DRS but I eventually get there with some 2/2 zombies! Game two I have street wraith in hand and he leads with DRS once again. I cross my fingers, he top decks a verdant catacombs, then goes on to cast two more DRS in the next three turns. I discard troll, he draws and casts ponder and shuffles. No green source in hand but he has a ponder, meanwhile i have no street wraith nor phantasmagorian to get around it.

I probe him my turn one to see if there is a green source for him to eat my troll that I want to discard this turn. Game one he casts DRS on turn one after fetching for an Underground Sea. Game three I shoal his infernal tutor and get there. Game two I actually lose to past in flames. Game one the guy just kind of fizzles after I have already hit him with a couple ichorids. That was me with the list at the Indy PIQ. Opponents like to keep their counters for when you target something that flips your library and forget that a 5/6 flyer can present a nice clock as well. G2/G3 I like to DR Chancellors quite often and just proceed to smash face with those. Hence the need to trick your opponent into thinking "Ok, I can let this DR resolve". The combo works often enough G1, but G2 and G3 tend to be a lot more grindy and it's much more important to outmaneuver your opponent and keep sneaking in some beats wherever you can. Selkie helps you power those out more quickly (whilst being less of a red flag then when you're targeting a Balustrade Spy/Griselbrand/Whirlpool Rider with your DR).

Especially G2 & G3 it's rather likely you can't rely on your Bridges so the Ichorids/Nether Shadows will have to do the heavy lifting during those games. Selkie mainly helps speed up building up your board position to a point where after a couple of turns you're able to Therapy 2/3 times before firing a single DR again to reanimate Zealot. Interesting, you're writing: MB Zealot, but at the same time you're writing: doesn't win on the same turn.Yup.
