Comments
Text with Printing (Arena, Moxfield etc)
- Volrath's Stronghold, + Vesuva
Stronghold has seldom been at or above EV and offers marginal utility; Vesuva should more directly synergize with the primary gameplan while maintaining occasional ancillary value.
- Vampire Nighthawk, + Creeping Bloodsucker
Worse on defense, but better at proactively pressuring life totals and comes down sooner.
- Coldsteel Heart, + Treasure Dredger
Cutting the worst of the 2MV rocks to try out another 2MV early creature which can stockpile mana for the critical turn. Needs playtesting.
- Worn Powerstone, + Rush of Dread
Powerstone seems replaceable. Rush of Dread should offer a few different use-cases, including halving a key high OP life total on critical turn. Needs playtesting.
- Damnation, + Sudden Spoiling
Possible that this brings us too low on mass removal. Tough swap that needs evaluation.
- Swamp, + Boggart Trawler
Testing the lower bound for basic Swamp count vs upside utility of MDFC lands.
- Swamp, + Fell the Profane
Testing the lower bound for basic Swamp count vs upside utility of MDFC lands.
- Reanimate, + Bojuka Bog
Reanimate has rarely been useful and the overall land count still feels low. Also fits in a graveyard hate effect which can be tutored with Expedition Map.
- Jet Medallion, + Planar Atlas
Should have better expected value given number of colorless spells and abilities in this deck, plus high value to finding Urborg/Coffers land combo.
- Venser's Journal, + Mazemind Tome
Testing value of Tome as a much easier-to-cast and reliable source of card advantage. Loses possibility of huge life gain but that seemed inconsistent from experience.
