Triggering Pantlaza on other player's turns

Triggering Pantlaza on other player's turns

Hello all! I'm getting back into commander after a while with my modified Pantlaza precon: https://moxfield.com/decks/O06Y02wcQEm6Nr8M1j8MBg (the sideboard is mostly just what I've subbed out so far)

My LGS scene has a pretty decent mix of players but a number who prefer to hang in the high bracket 3/low 4 range, so I've been thinking about adding a number of cards that trigger pantlaza on other player's turns that can be subbed in and out depending on if I'm playing with a higher bracket pod or with bracket two decks.

I've tossed together a quick wishlist of flash/blink/cheat into play at instant speed enablers (as well as some chunky dinos I'd like to add at some point) here: https://moxfield.com/decks/4RU0MZ7etkO7ryVqo6ioJw . It includes things like Emiel shown above, Arlin, the Pack's Hope (who lets me cast creatures as flash), and hunting grounds/lurking predators - I'm trying to keep individual cards around or below $20 so things don't get out of hand, and would be shooting at spending $10-20 a week over some time to keep my spending habits healthy.

Are there better ways to juice up Pantlaza? How many cards with this subtheme should I add to make it consistent, and notably, what should I sub out for them? Any other thoughts on my deck (landbase, putting sideboard cards back in main deck, etc) would also be appreciated. Thanks y'all!

Advice for day hike to Camp Muir Saturday?

Hey all! Posting this for my poor karmaless father whose posts are getting bounced:

I'm looking to day hike Camp Muir this Saturday with my adult son. Any advice?

We're planning to bring poles and microspikes. Snowshoes (or crampons) could be available, but it sounds like we probably wouldn't want them. (We'll be staying at friend's reasonably well equipped cabin, but without the friend.) How likely are we to actually want to use the microspikes?

It's maybe a little too early to be confident, but the weather looks kind of great (if sun is great). We'll certainly have sunscreen, shades, and some cold weather gear. We'll be prepared to go GPS-only, just in case.

Is it pretty important to start early? For conditions? Parking? Does Nisqually by 7, Paradise by 7:30 seem about right? Maybe a bit earlier? Or is it worth going quite a bit earlier, like Paradise at 5:00 AM? (That would be hard on the 19-year old's sleep schedule, but I could twist his arm...) (We'll plan to have an electronic pass in advance.)

I have some day hiking experience, and plenty of on piste skiing experience, but not much experience hiking in the snow. I've done some day hiking in the Jura (France), Alps, and Cascades around Holden Village. I did a hike in the Jura (Tiocan to Reculet) about a month ago with a similar or maybe steeper average grade, with a bit of snow, but only around half the length and not as high above sea level. I felt good. Poles would have been nice on the descent. I think we're in half-decent shape, but we are coming from pancake flat land near Chicago. So, we'll try to be realistic about how the hike is going, and turn around if necessary.

Advice or comments on any part of this would be welcome: no need to address it all!
