7th update, cutting staples, making people angry —Jan. 21, 2018
Cuts:
-Flusterstorm
-Hurkyl's Recall
Basically small meta-dependant changes, the changes are just so "spicy" as in neither card is really that commonly seen and I've really liked the swaps so might as well make it official.
Flusterstorm is great but it's also situational, when someone plays a Sphere of Resistance you'd wish Fluster was something else. Sacrificing some payout for flexibility, Fluster isn't a card you're happy to see against Blood Pod, Selvala, Gitrog or some stax pile with spheres while Mana Leak is ok in every game. If you're in naus city keep playing fluster, otherwise keep an open mind because I've really liked this change so far.
Hurkyl's Recall for Rebuild is a really small change too, the cards do the exact same thing. With this build of not having the full 2cmc rock package means that bouncing everything is more of an upside than a downside. Cast Rebuild bouncing opposing Trinisphere and your Mana Crypt into replay Crypt seems like value. Rebuild having cycling is really helpful too since the card is so situational, and 1 additional mana isn't that much since Chain of Vapor and Dramatic Reversal are pretty much strictly better than Rebuild or Hurdurr's for storming purposes so those are going to be the tutor targets anyway. It does lose some of its meme power since a 3 mana spell is harder to just randomly jam if someone plays a wheel and some other player has their collection of vintage rocks in play, but again the upsides seem to outweigh the downsides. I've liked the change.
Additionally, the deck's average converted mana cost has gone past 2.0! Sue me, the deck still Ad Nauseams well.
