Specific Changes

• Counters: Condescend, Arcane Denial, Muddle the Mixtures

• Tutor to Hand: Muddle the Mixtures, Dimir Machinations

• Protection: Misdirection

• Removal: Tragic Arrogance

• Extra Turns: Capture of Jingzhou

Added

• Topdeck Manipultaion: Opt, Jace, the Mind Sculptor

• Counters: Swan Song, Dovin's Veto

• Tutor to Hand: /

• Protection: Silence, Apostle's Blessing

• Ramp: Talisman of Hirarchy, Smothering Tithe

• Removal: Vindicate

• Extra Turns: /

• Tutor into Play: /

• Wincon: Bolas's Citadel

• Tutor to Top of Library: Imperial Seal, Enlighted Tutor

But Why?

• Topdeck Manipultaion: As I said, i'm trying to rely less on topdeck manipulation via use-and-toss spells and more on the consistency.

• Counters: I simply like more Swan Song and Dovin's Veto. Thinking about bringing back Muddle the Mixtures tho, the beign double side counter and tutor is very tempting.

• Tutor to Hand: Same reason as Topdeck Manipulation, tho i don't really like transmute, i'm always insecure on what to do with it.

• Protection: More protection, Silence can save the day and Apostle's Blessing save us even from artifact effects.

• Ramp: Too much colorless mana, also the new Talisman of Hierarchy complete the collection of talismans and Smothering Tithe it's so good. Taxes are always good, if you're not the one that pays.

• Removal: I L O V E Tragic Arrogance, but without recursions like Faith's Reward I don't feel like playing it. Also, in my meta there are some players with annoying enchantments, Vindicate is just on point.

• Extra Turns: I don't have a Capture of Jingzhou... But also 6 extra turn are enough, so no regrets.

• Wincon: you know, Bolas's Citadel is really a thing in this deck. I love this card, but think about what it can do there. Yeaah, riiight. Just what you thought: Let Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign take the ride Proteus Staff, get every card you want on top and than cast them all with Bolas's Citadel. You can do it with Goblin Charbelcher on top or with Approach of the Second Sun and cast it twice in a turn. Not bad, not bad at all.

• Tutor to Top of Library: Imperial Seal is better than Cruel Tutor, and i like Enlighted Tutor. No more than that.
