-1 Grinning Ignus
+1 Tooth and Nail
I love the Ignus, there's no doubt about it. And being able to run that guilty pleasure was awesome. Resolving him early and seeing no kill for him almost guaranteed a next turn biggie. But drawing him in the late game felt, well, lackluster. Deck's got enough ramp to survive his exit (hopefully moving onto a Horde of Notions EDH), and Tooth and Nail should be easily fed by it. Creature count's probably a little low for anything less than an entwine, but it also helps fight Condemn effects and the like.
Not to mention synergy potential of summoned creatures: Prime Speaker Zegana + anything big; Phyrexian Metamorph + Sylvan Primordial or a Star; or Eternal Witness + Palinchron for repetition.
