Bye, Probe! —Jan. 9, 2017

Gitaxian Probe was banned. I understand their decision - WotC thought that it was too OP to have a free cantrip with an extra effect, making every deck roughly 7% more consistent in getting any given card, so if I disagree with their decision, I only disagree halfway. My deck is now less consistent, but that's OK, it's the best I'll get. I have replaced the card with 2 Mountains and 2 Searing Blazes - thank you Wurmlover for suggesting the move to mainboard - and until I get my Surgical Extraction in the mail, Smash to Smithereens is replacing the sideboard Blazes.

Searing Blaze should be mainboard, or not run at all. there is no reason to put it in the sideboard. Rain of Gore is also not worth running mainboard. same with Murderous Cut with the SB. try maybe a Titan's Strength

Wurmlover What should I remove for mainboard Searing Blaze? I am thinking of cutting it anyway for a sideboard Surgical Extraction.

Rain of Gore mainboard is a placeholder for until I get Street Wraith #4, which is in the mail now. I also have a Fatal Push coming - I need something to kill Kor Firewalker at least.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have at one point considered Spark Elemental, so for the same reason I might take a look at Titan's Strength.

Manamorphose really isn't necessary, since nearly everything is played with red mana.

Wurmlover I use Manamorphose as an effective free card (it's like a 48-card deck) but I have considered taking it out for another burn spell a few times.

Thanks again.
