-1 Null Rod

+1 Growing Rites of Itlimoc

In testing, while Null Rod is a very powerful Magic card, and while we only run 6 artifacts, the 6 artifacts we do run are very powerful, and having even one of them in play easily leads to Rod becoming a net-negative. Top and Clamp are both extremely powerful forms of card draw/selection, Crypt/Ring/Vault are often critical in casting our general, and Expedition Map is a very powerful tutor. While still perhaps the correct call for very artifact-centric metas, we will happily cut Rod for now.

Rites on the other hand has been performing very well. While obviously worse than cradle in that it does not provide mana on-turn, it is still a must-answer threat that serves as redundancy if Gaeas Cradle itself is dealt with.
