(Work In Progress)

My first draft of a better Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer.
At the moment, the primary strategy is value/go wide. Drop as many Morphs as fast as possible.
I added some bottom end control to stop anything crazy early and a few cost reducers/random ramp to speed it up.
Some upgrades to the creature base were made. I tried to cut any bloat and add things that were costed to be more likely to play.
+1/+1 counters work well with the main theme, so they're in here.
Krosan Cloudscraper is a pet card. It's holding a place until I think of a better end game. Until then, at least it has some shock value.
