New Adds —March 14, 2018

I tested out all the new cards from my last update and the deck is much more consistent.

I'm also testing (though probably just adding) some other cards

-1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion +1 Divine Reckoning this will hit sram 100% less often then elspeth did plus lower curve.

-1 Akroma's Memorial +1 Avarice Amulet Akroma was just too high on the curve plus this has some card draw and if this works the way I think it does sending Sram to the command zone won't give the amulet to an opponent.

-1 Silent Arbiter +1 Metalworker not a functional swap but metalworker seems insane if I have 5 equipment in my hand it usually pays for the cast and equip cost. While goldfishing it was an over performer.

-1 Grand Abolisher +1 Conqueror's Flail suggestion from a commenter, the ability is kind of week so might as well have it on something that synergies with Sram. If I ever need space I might take it out all together.

-1 Serra Ascendant +1 Inquisitor's Flail unless you're doing a dedicated lifegain strategy Serra is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be in EDH I think a 6/6 flier turn one intimidates people. Anyway double damage seems nice this is definitely more on the test side and not guaranteed to stay

-1 Plains +1 Mox Opal This one is iffy I've been testing it and sometimes it just sits in my hand before I get metalcraft and I need a land to get it so this is another primarily testing change.

ezigrelnos Thanks for the comment, I agree the ability that Grand Abolisher provides is not worth it so Conqueror's Flail will probably replace it.

Flickering Ward is good it's in my auras to add list however I'm very stubborn and I want to go aura-less.

Cloud Key and Inquisitor's Flail are both good cards but not good enough to replace them I'll probably cut my higher cmc cards like Ugin for them and run them along side Mana Crypt and Silverblade Paladin (The flail with double strike is pretty crazy.)

Faith's Reward I'll have to test out, in my meta there's some mill and some hand disruption anf this wouldn't bring those back, but would be a blow out after a board wipe.

Heirloom Blade wasn't on my radar at all and I checked it out on your Sram list and seems very interesting, I feel like it won't be going on sram most on the time but on a cannon fodder creature and that doesn't help my game plan. I like the cheaper equip and I can think of some other janky things I could do with it, I'm definitely going to be gold fishing with it.
