Replaced Hull Breach with Slice in Twain. I'm bucking the trend on this one. I love Hull Breach, but it absolutely drove me nuts that it wasn't instant! Also, I would never have the viable targets to successfully Conspire it. I still haven't lived the dream of conspiring Decimate, but that day will come.
What i'm losing---cheaper mana and potential more value. the ability to Conspire with red creatures. What i'm gaining---Instant speed removal. Blessed card draw. This deck seems to run on three modes: 1) Mow down the board and fizzle out. You run out of Artifacts/Enchantments to blow up, and eventually you die just from lack of interaction. This rarely ever happens but does occasionally. It normally happens when someone realizes that the strange Gruul deck loves the graveyard. 2) Grind the opponents out with infinite value. the game is long, but you're always in control with ammo. I casted Volcanic Offering five times in one game today with all the GY recursion. Slice in Twain belongs in this section. Cards that let us net cards such as Explore and Manamorphose really help the deck out. 3) Combo-nation! Not my favorite route to go, but this deck is really good at it. Mana Geyser and Early Harvest are the main culprits. cometstorm or Chord of Calling normally ends games immediately.
