Removing Revel in Riches for Doom Whisperer and Merciless Executioner for Plaguecrafter.
Revel in Riches never really turned into a big winner for me. Requires a lot of hoops to be jumped through to hit it's win-con and did not end up being a source of great ramp. Turn 5 we have a lot of options we want to play including Chainer. Replacing with Doom Whisperer which adds another Demon... a NIGHTMARE demon, so it get the +1/+1 from Chainer when hard-cast which is awesome. It's Surveil ability on life pay is super pertinent in this deck, a great card all around.
Plaguecrafter is a strictly better Executioner. We lose a skullclamp target but we gain planeswalker removal and extra discard functionality.

@HashMasta Thanks for the suggestion! I primarily run Contamination as a way to stall the board for a turn or two to prevent someone else's combo from going off or to prep to win myself. If necessary, I use Abhorrent Overload to give me some sac fodder. Ophiomancer is a great card though and a strong budget replacement for something like Bitterblossom. If I ever end up taking this deck into a more stax-y direction, then I will probably slot this card into the deck. Thanks again!

If your gonna be "that guy" that runs contamination, you would be silly to not run Ophiomancer to really have your friends flip tables
