All cards enter at .50 or less

November 2024 Deck Changes

In Firebrand Archer - joins the ranks of similar dudes in here Tarfire - another shock Invasion of Karsus   - i think this could be quite strong? with valgavoth down, mini board wipe, hit it the same turn, get a pinger guy. only problem is if i have little guys on my board Volcanic Fallout - instant similar little guy board wipe that triggers valgavoth. think it will be nice to be able to sweep the board under him Wild Magic Surge - flexible removal

Out Havoc Festival - think its too high cmc and will make everyone want to kill me Kaervek the Merciless - "" Tectonic Reformation - flood insurance not worth a card in the deck Molten Vortex - "" Spark Spray - setting the bar at shock, and incinerate: 1 cmc for 2 damage or 2 cmc for 3 damage

---

February 2025 Deck Changes

In Rug of Smothering - one of the best cards in the deck i think Tor Wauki the Younger - 5 cmc worth it? kind of a back up commander like judith

Out Vulshok Sorcerer - not that exciting for 3 cmc Guttersnipe - "" plus needs something else to trigger it

---

February 2025 Deck Changes Part II

In Chaos Warp - best removal in rakdos IMO, budget again

Out Cunning Sparkmage - on the bubble, have it in my tims deck anyway

---

February 2025 Deck Changes Part III

In Infernal Grasp - now budget

Out Flick a Coin - hard to hold this much mana up
