SURPRISE! Deck Update! —April 8, 2016
Didn't expect this update, now did you?
-Windscarred Crag: Meh, there's better duals out there. What's 1 life going to do?
-Pearl Medallion and Ruby Medallion: I didn't like taking these out, but this was the Balefire Liege problem all over again; they only benefited a few cards each. I'd sooner have Seal of the Guildpact, but that's not easy on the mana.
-Sword of Fire and Ice: "BLASPHEMY!" you cry, but hear me out: I like the swords, but this one was one of the weaker ones, imo. I really only had it for the card draw, and there are 6 other cards in the deck that can do as good of a job, if not better.
+Plateau: Yes, it returns. I originally took it out as part of the formation of the EDH box, but I decided to reclaim it for this one deck alone. Do not read this as "Oh, hey, he's getting all 10 ABU duals!" I'm not. I'm only doing this for Kalemne.
+Fork: This originally was going to be Haunted Cloak, but I didn't really like it. Brightflame was going to go here, but seeing as it was too conditional and expensive, I'd rather have another copy spell. Since Reverberate is similar, if not the same, as Fork, why not both?
+Mana Crypt: Yes, I acquired one a while ago. And what coolor combination needs better ramp than Boros? Exactly. Crypt will help me power out Kalemne. I was hesitant to add it because of me wanting to avoid being competitive, so will see how it will impact the deck.
+Archangel Avacyn Flip: The non-planeswalker card I'm most excited to be using. Note that she will transform when one of our 3 evoke creatures hits the bin. The transform will not happen until your next upkeep, so you need to protect Avacyn until then, and that will be the heard part. Regardless, it's hard to not be excited about this card.
