Out---Plow Under, Soul's Majesty, Banefire
In---Divergent Transformations, Grab the Reins, Benefactor's Draught
Plow Under was a beautiful mistake. It was a little too unfun for my playgroup. It will be on the sidelines though. I always called Soul's Majesty a bad Harmonize. It never happened, but if an opponent kills Wort in response to Soul's Majesty then i'm boned. I should still have enough card draw to get by. Banefire was too pricey of a fireball. My playgroup is counter-light so it never mattered much.
Benefactor's Draught is very interesting. It cycles itself which makes it a Divination when conspired, it has the potential to draw more cards if my opponent is compliant, and conspiring doubles that, and, most interestingly, it untaps my creatures. My deck is so creature-light that each spell conspired needs to count, and Benefactor's Draught is almost a free-bee. Grab the Reins is something i'm tinkering with. It just seems good. If I don't like it then it shall be cut. Divergent Transformations is quite the card. It's cheap, instant, works well with conspire, and exiles which red does not normally do. It also lets me exile my creatures and transform those piddly goblins into sweet enablers! Divergent Transformations makes me want to go down to just Avenger of Zendikar and Purphoros, God of the Forge as my only creatures. Then, the instant would work as a conspired Chord of Calling. It seems so cool that if I'm going with that deck restriction then I might consider Selvala's Stampede as well. As of now, I won't.
