well, tbh: except for mono purple I don’t see a single mono colored deck to be able to perform well in a competitive tournament. Not a single one. Hence I do not agree that we have to buff monoblue such that it is possible to really compete. Otherwise we have to find a complete new balance for everything, which will just not be feasible.
about this match: nice start! That’s a combination I havn’t thought of before, which is nice! Also please do note the MM ping on your base.

Thoughts
this looks like a very good counter to my early pressure, but at the cost of very ineffective cycle stacking for the first tech 2 turns. goldwise he’ll have some good trades until then, but for the long run I fancy my chances. Also as expected: putting Aven in the air leaves some gaping holes on the ground. Let’s see how he plans to navigate through that.
As always: sticking to my own plan and I will not change my tech tree due to this nuisance of a single Aven.
post draw: uargs - too many cards of what I wanted to play over the next two turns in my next hand… damn!
