Long Overdue Upgrades —May 20, 2023
Removed Illusionist's Bracers, Noxious Revival, and Talisman of Dominance. The Bracers are a great card, but their mana investment often isn't worth the setback of having to cast and equip it while Kenrith is in play. Revival is always a good card... if you've got something worth getting back in your graveyard. Only once has it been actually useful, every other time it's been a dead card or brought back something inconsequential to get it out of my hand - the deck runs plenty of interaction so needing to recur a piece isn't very common, and Kenrith can reanimate any creatures easily. The Talisman is just a bit of excess that I felt could be trimmed, I don't have enough Black-costing cards to warrant its own mana rock and the deck already runs a ton of other forms of ramp (mana rocks, mana dorks, Treasure production, etc.).
Added Faerie Mastermind, Skrelv, Defector Mite, and Telepathy. The Mastermind is just a good card, two mana at flash speed to start getting value off of your opponents' value. It also could serve as a way to draw your own answers, or just as a flying body that can be beefed up by Kenrith. Skrelv is just a funny little guy, drops easily for one mana and paying two life and tapping him to protect such an invaluable asset as Kenrith is too good to pass up. Telepathy is a single blue mana for an insane amount of knowledge about the game state, and could potentially direct focus away from you if an opponent has a particularly frightening hand.
