Notes
 
Honorable mentions for Kaheera synergy in the deck:
Embodiment of spring- Could act as early defense and ramp
Frost walker- A super beating but phantasm is better
Healer of the glades- Medium aggro and lifegain
Arboreal grazer- get ahead on mana and cheap blocker
Hydroid krasis- mediocre midrange threat
Fleecemane lion- interesting beater that can get out of hand. Of all of these, hexproof indestructible gives me a pause for sure.

The stars:
White sun's zenith- What I'm calling "Furball". The most outside angle for the lowest investment. At any time I can have cat army. Even two tokens with Kaheera backup is a really interesting, with nine vigilant power on the board over three cards. You barely spent cards to do put them in play, only mana and a small window of tempo. Combined with removal and cryptic command the game now turns into forcing the cat army in. It can be like the 5th archive trap.

Voice of resurgence- Out the sideboard against counterspell decks and heavy planeswalker decks. Snowballs similar to the zenith but with a way lower investment. It should a super sticky threat that makes it difficult to come back at me. Also, Kaya's guile can pump the token by making a token!

Leonin arbiter- And then there's this card. I'm already the heaviest invested force search deck in the format. I now am enticed by another angle that makes it an interesting consideration. a 3/3 vigilance for two creature that also gives me a taxes angle? Swap Archive trap for arbiter, play more censor and trophy main. The games where I have arbiter on 2 are going to be nuts, the problem is the game where I don't. Without trap my angle of attack is cut out, and arbiter get's much worse in the late game. This pushes me to put more cretaures in the side, which makes the plan way more costly. Kaheera on 3 as a protect the queen strategy is pretty weak. The resurgence plan is excellent, but GW is a formidable mana cost to incorporate into the deck, especially wanting to curve into it on 2 without astrolabes. Still, worth exploring, as a successful transformation into a taxes deck seems possible and if executed well potentially game warping. More of my deck than not transforms into this plan well. And I think it could give me serious game against other control and Yorion decks.

Then there is the meta to consider. I think I can prey on burn and a lot of Lurrus decks with the amount of Kaya's guile and surgical I play. Kaya's guile is super hot because of that trend. The low to the ground GDS and Jund need to be weighed accurately, but I think the loss of Lilianna's makes the matchup better. EE and porphry nodes also line up fantastic, and I think the blowout mode of archmage's charm got better as well. The chalice decks will up tick in popularity, which I like my mill plan against. The Urza list is also crippled with the GY hate. The Yorion lists are my unknown factor. I should be able to surgical out a lot of decks, and my titan matchup, both prime and uro, are great per usual.

Oh, and it just occured to me that Mox amber and Lurrus are fucking dope balls. What a stupid card. Every Lurrus deck without mox amber is incorrect. Good fuck god.
