Another Update —April 16, 2021
After re-reading Test of Talents and the way it works in Canadian highlander, it does everything the deck wants to do, it counters a spell, you get to look at your opponents hand, setting you up for future counter spells, and you get to look through your opponents deck letting you see their higher end plays and win conditions if they are not playing something glaringly obvious like academy or storm. The card that is being replaced is Heartless Act, as it's a basic albite efficient kill spell and I would rather counter a stormplayers stuff then kill a creature most of the time, and for the most part I think this deck fairly easily beats out other creature decks, we are just faster.

I've been playing around with erebos's intervention and after many months of play testing still haven't decided if it's good in the deck, on the one hand it does a lot in some games but in others its just a bad kill spell.
I briefly tested Ulcerate and found it didn't do enough, for the downside as in arguably the hardest match up for the deck(mono red) you just never ever want to be bolting yourself in the face so it's an entirely dead card.
And with Divert I'm going to be honest I haven't tested it yet because when I originally read the card I miss-read it and thought it was terrible, reading it now I realize it makes the red match up quite even if you draw it to redirect their burn at their own creatures 2 for 1'ing them, that card definitely needs to be tested thanks for the great suggestion.
