Changes to the Precon

Added some better Knights to reanimate with Sidar (Cavalier of Night) as well as some Changelings (Mirror Entity, Changeling Outcast). Cut a few lands for more ramp (Azorius Signet, Dimir Signet) and upgraded a few lands (Caves of Koilos, Vault of the Archangel). Added more repeatable loot (Mask of Memory, Whispering Madness). Included more double strike sources (Silverblade Paladin, Duelist's Heritage) to take more advantage of combat damage to player triggers and added some better sac outlets (Pyre of Heroes, Etchings of the Chosen) to take more advantage of reanimate the same Knights for value with Sidar especially the Cavaliers.
