Rivals of Ixalan Update —Jan. 22, 2018
Adding a couple cards from Rivals of Ixalan:
Sunset Pyramid ---> The Immortal Sun: Sunset Pyramid was only in there because White really hurts when it comes to card draw. While significantly higher CMC, The Immortal Sun ramps, draws cards, and pumps my team. This is all stuff the deck wants. The ability to hose Planeswalkers is a nice bonus too.
Sword of Vengeance ---> Zetalpa, Primal Dawn: Zetalpa is another keyword soup card, which this deck loves. It's expensive at 8 mana but it will be tough to get rid of, like Avacyn who has the same CMC. Sword of Vengeance was ok but I found the equip cost of 3 to be quite steep, especially as I would often have to pay it more than once due to creatures dying. Zetalpa has the same keywords as the sword and more.
Solemn Simulacrum ---> Sword of the Animist: I found that I missed the Sword of the Animist quite a bit. This update has increased the average CMC of the deck so sources of repeatable ramp are most welcome.
Return to Dust ---> Disenchant: These changes have increased the CMC of the deck so I've been looking at ways to lower mana costs. 4 mana for a targeted removal spells with Return to Dust was starting to feel a little steep.
Aegis Angel --->Hammer of Nazahn: Similar thinking in wanting to reduce average CMC. Aegis Angel's indestructibility was more conditional. I did like her though so I may reconsider.
