OUT - Temple of the False God, Heraldic Banner, Smelt, Filigree Familiar, Clone Shell, Purphoros Bronze Blooded, Outpost Siege
IN - Homeward Path, Gauntlet of Power, Vandalblast, Determined Iteration, Humble Defector, Dualcaster Mage, Jaxis the Troublemaker
Adding in two of the only cards from Streets of New Capenna that had me genuinely excited, Determined Iteration and Jaxis, the Troublemaker. Both seem like Feldon staples. Really excited to see how they play! The other swaps were made due to feedback in the comments and I'm feeling pretty good about the deck's current state. Thanks for all the advice! Let's see what Dominaria United brings us!
Not gonna lie, I forgot that Homeward Path existed. lol Definitely worth considering.
I wasn't too keen on cutting Humble Defector. I didn't want to cut ramp or removal since I'm kind of light on both, but I agree that both cards you listed are a bit weak. I think Heraldic Banner might be the cut to make there.
Wheel of Misfortune has too much text and gives me a headache. That's why it's not included. lol I'm also not looking to mass fill my graveyard making it a prime Bojuka Bog (or similar) target. Just going for targeted discard at the moment.
Vandalblast is definitely the upgrade for Smelt. I have one in the Crimson Vow vampire precon I was gonna dismantle anyway.
Believe it or not, I was actually thinking of adding in Caged Sun a few days ago. I think Gauntlet of Power might be the one I add in.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance is a card that I think I have two or three of and they all see use in other decks at the moment. I agree that it's not needed but definitely useful. I'll have to take a second look some time.
Dualcaster Mage is a super sneaky one. I'm more prone to the big, splashy play but I totally agree that the utility is there. Great suggestion!
Thanks for all the advice! Gonna have to take a another look at tweaking this deck soon.

Homeward Path - Your entire deck is based on 1) Your commander 2) Big creatures in GY. If someone steals your commander or reanimates your creature's you're SOL unless you draw into 1 of your 2 boardwipes. Meta dependent but worth considering
Humble Defector - Synergy with above. I saw in your update you removed it because cuts are hard these days. I would remove smelt or heraldic banner for humble defector as they are your weakest cards by far
Wheel of Misfortune - Fills your yard, fills your hand. Not sure why this isn't included.
Vandalblast > Smelt - Strict upgrade
Caged Sun/Gauntlet of Power - Ramp, albeit expensive. Might be worth considering.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Draw, ramp, removal and wincon all in 1. Not needed, but helpful
Dualcaster Mage - Super utility. Counter counterspells, copy opposing removal, draw, extra turns, mass reanimation etc.... Moreover, with him in the grave, you can hold up feldon to copy whatever spell you might need. The flexibility in his utility is strong, don't sleep on it
Let me know what you think of each suggestion.
