Out: Remorseful Cleric, Knight of Autumn

In: Gilded Drake, Caustic Caterpillar

Just realized that the Drake was not included yet :o

The caterpillar replaces the knight, because it is cheaper and has a decisive advantage in interaction with Chulane, because you get their cast trigger independent of the removal, because this is an activated and not (ETB) triggered ability like the knight.

Hey Goretast, I noticed your strong deck [Primer] Chulane's Bounce House [cEDH] already some time ago ;)

Thanks for your positive feedback and the interesting suggestions: Lotus Cobra and Veil of Summer were also in my sights for quite some time and I would like to take them in for a Forest and a more expensive counter (e.g. Disallow). Destiny Spinner fits really well and could maybe replace Song of the Dryads (which sometimes remained useless in my hand). Triumph of the Hordes would really be a simple include as an additional wincon, but in my playgroups we banned Infect ;(

I am not sure about Sylvan Awakening: After a boardwipe it could be a real surprise with Craterhoof Behemoth, but otherwise it feels more like "win more". In the next games I will check if there were situations where it would have turned a game in my favour...
