I have done quite a bit less iterating here this year but there were a couple of goodies which could not be overlooked.
In:
Psychic Corrosion - I have spoken before about being wary of trying too hard at milling yet Sphinx's Tutelage was just too potent to pass up. This card is even more so! I talked to a friend who also has Arjun about whether to try running both or to replace Tutelage. We came to agree that both are just too potent to pass up.
Niv-Mizzet, Parun - This one is pretty self-explanatory. He has the same ability as Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind (which is already in here) and a cooler way to draw extra cards. I do hope the casting demands do not prove to be prohibitive. This is the first spell in the deck.
Out:
Docent of Perfection Flip - I love this card so much, but unfortunately I find it not living up to its potential way too often. Maybe I can find a place for it someday in a dedicated wizards and spells deck. It was cut for Psychic Corrosion.
Charmbreaker Devils - I like the recursion value it provides, but I have found it just doesn't get played as often when there are other choices available. Niv-Mizzet could not afford to replace anything lower than 6cmc, and would preferably also replace a red spell. The alternate candidate was Etherium-Horn Sorcerer, but it at least gives immediate value.
