April 8th: I've been wanting an edge against RG dragons since now it's so popular, and black removal seemed the way to go.

Adding white gets us Crackling Doom, Soulfire Grand Master, and other strong white cards. Crackle is great when expecting either Thunderbreak Regent from an opponent or hexproof creatures like Dragonlord Ojutai. Its even great against aggressive decks with Goblin Rabblemaster and Lightning Berserker.

I'm also deciding to include Kolaghan's Command . This gives the possible instant speed combo of Soulfire Grand Master + Kolaghan's Command + 7 mana to make them discard in each draw step and hit them for 2. This will slowly grind them out while I develop a hand and force removal onto the tiny 2/2 for 2. And worst case, I can make them discard and get back a Stormbreath Dragon, which is like a 0 for 1? Or kill a Rabblemaster and get a Soulfire Grand Master back if they're more aggressive.

Soulfire has continued to impress, while Rabble has stolen games, but isn't great in large numbers. It also isn't fantastic in some matchups, as I side it out kinda often. Going to switch from a 2-4 Soulfire-Rabble to a 3-3.

Similarly, Elspeth has been a pain in some matches to draw, but great in others...sounds like a sideboard card! Going to main Murderous cut again and move her to the side.

MAIN:

-1 Goblin Rabblemaster -1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion

+1 Soulfire Grand Master +1 Murderous Cut

Against devoted control decks, having extra Elspeths is pretty good. It's also great against green decks to block/wrath their things. My aggro matchup is actually pretty good, so I feel I can go down to 3 Angers for a better control matchup.

SIDE:

-1 Anger of the Gods -1 Dragonlord Kolaghan +2 Elspeth, Sun's Champion

Random Footnote: I really want 26 lands...not sure what to cut though...maybe Kolaghan's Command from the main for a Temple of Triumph? Or just go for the 61?
