King Brago optimization tweaks —Feb. 14, 2015
I ordered some cards from the shop which let me finish off my restructuring:
Out Cloud of Faeries -> In Grim Monolith
The other rocks are performing so well, this gives me another one I can hunt own with Tezzert. Giving up a 1/1 flying body doesn't seem like a big deal at the moment. And if you are rooting for a land un-tapper being in the deck, see below.
Out Austere Command -> In Elspeth, Sun's Champion
Out Hallowed Burial -> In Tamiyo, the Moon Sage
Dropping the last of the sorceries in favor of more Planeswalkers to abuse with Brago.
Out Elspeth, Knight-Errant -> In Cloud Cover
Out Ajani, Caller of the Pride -> In Palinchron
Whoops, too many Elspeth's now. Actually not a huge concern, but these are the Planeswalkers that don't synergize with an infinite Brago combo. Instead, let's bring in the grand daddy of land untappers. Also, I am speculating that saving my stuff from the graveyard so that I can re-cast it and get more ETB will be worthwhile.
Out Island -> In Temple of Enlightenment
The easiest decision. A good dual that I was missing until now!
Just for future reference, there are actually three Rishadan cards: Rishadan Cutpurse Rishadan Footpad Rishadan Brigand
Also, thanks for pointing out Strionic Resonator, I'll go ahead and stick it in my own Brago deck.

InDirectX - Doh! Wish I'd known about Rishadan Brigand to start. I don't have room for three Rishadans, but 1 additional mana to get flying and extra point of power seems worth it as an upgrade for Rishadan Footpad.

drakeakrillain - The reason I keep resisting Reality Acid is that without Brago it's a horrible draw. Love the Peregrine Drake suggestion though and even had one lying around!
InDirectX - Rishadan Footpad is a great find for multiplayer, which I try to prioritize for this deck. And with Brago plus Strionic Resonator, it's another card that may as well say 'I win'.
