I'm still a bit on the fence how soon I'll transform Norman. Getting him out super fast is good practice, the idea of transforming him by turn 3-4, not sure how that will play out, or if it's worth waiting. Burnished Hart has been an auto include in non green EDH decks since I first saw it in Theros. I predicted that card would at one point be worth something ($2 for a brief moment in history.) It's always been a good card to me. Thanks for pointing out the reason Training Grounds isn't worth it is for the one time cost; it's a card better suited to frequent activated ability use.

Knew I'd forgotten about Frantic Search and Lorien Revealed. Island cycling is particularly useful for getting out one of the dual lands. Training Grounds is a card I put in as force habit for any commander I use that has colorless mana in it's activated ability, even if it's no good for cards like Garland, Knight of Cornelia  ^Flip. I thought I'd considered Surly Badgersaur, I'll look to see what cards to drop for it. Thanks for the suggestions.

The madlads made Yue into a card? when I first saw the show, my first thought was she's a Moon sage because she reminded me of Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. Perhaps Freed from the Real?
