Hour of Devastation Update? —July 11, 2017

So...Hour of Devastation doesn't have much to add to this deck, unfortunately. I did find a black-bordered German Wheel of Fortune and a black-bordered Chinese Mana Vault, though!! :)

The only change I'm testing for now is swapping Chaos Warp for Adorned Pouncer - because my creature count is a bit low, and sometimes I have awkward game states with lots of equipment but no creatures. A cheap doublestriker works well with the Swords, and if an opponent wastes a removal spell on it, it returns much stronger.

I'm sad to cut Chaos Warp, and I want to find a slot to stick it back in. I might have to cut a land...we shall see. Leave / Chance may also find a slot in the sideboard, but it's far too reactive in a deck optimized for blazingly fast aggro damage.

Anything hidden gems I'm missing? :) After all, Onward / Victory is my favorite card from Amonkhet, and it was just an uncommon...

I really like this deck, I have never seen this Avacyn as a commander in my group. You may have difficulties against a Hour of Devastation without a sword in play.
