Game day —April 30, 2016
I came to my senses last minute and cut Insolent Neonate for 2 Grasp of Darkness and 2 Incorrigible Youths.
I went 2/3 overall. Not too happy with that, admittedly. The games it won, it won hard...specifically against golgari aristocrats. Unfortunately the other 3 I drew, literally, the worst hands possible. Two games I mulled down to 5 and still had no lands. It was heart-breaking, but led to me reevaluating my shuffle technique to much better results. Lesson learned.
Decided afterward to put in 2 more sinister concoctions, basically to serve the same purpose I hoped neonate would, and boarded the grasps.
A lot in the sideboard previously was drastically slowing down the deck. I kept the other two Incorrigible Youths in case I need more creatures, Burn from Within for abbey/Gideon/avacyn, Ruinous Path for the sea of planeswalkers (although I can just save Fiery Tempers if need be), To the Slaughter...I'm not sure about. making someone sac an ormendahl or untapped ojutai is funny but I'm not totally sold yet.

I would not cut Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. Look at his pricetag. There is a reason that card is so expensive. He is awesome. I have played games where I was far behind, close to lethal damage on my end, and then Kalitas came down and just started gaining me life, making zombies, and eating them for bigger life-gain swings so that I ended up winning in the end.
