Overdue Update —Oct. 20, 2013
Cracked a Theros box, so naturally changes ensued.
- Heliod, God of the Sun and Nylea, God of the Hunt replacing Copper Myr and Gold Myr ~ As much as I love my foil Myrs, they were anti-synergistic with some cards in the deck. Not pleased with losing ramp, but I feel I can afford it.
- Bow of Nylea replacing Holistic Wisdom ~ Bow can do a similar effect, with the added bonus of fetchability and added options. Downside: Less Guay art.
- Spear of Heliod replacing Mikaeus, the Lunarch ~ A more consistent anthem effect, with additional removal upside.
After that, I had some acquired card for the deck that I'd been too lazy to try out until now.
- Gerrard Capashen and Lashknife Barrier replacing Darien, King of Kjeldor and Soul Warden ~ I wanted the barrier in but was having issues with cuts. Of all the combos in the deck, this one was the weakest. Darien'll be back later after I get a Trostani, Selesnya's Voice to pair with him. For now, Gerrard's back in (from olden times) to provide some much needed lifegain.
- Konda, Lord of Eiganjo replacing Vigor ~ Most torn up about this change. Konda's fetchable, presents a potentially beefy combat creature, and works with the Pariah effects, compared to the easier-to-remove thing that keeps my other critters alive. We'll see what playtesting provides.
- Second Thoughts replacing Temporal Isolation ~ Less vulnerable to removal; curve's offset by cantrip and a less relevant early game.
