Removed: Trygon Predator, Blighted Woodland, Kodama's Reach, Kruphix, God of Horizons

Added: Mystic Confluence, Command Beacon, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Mental Misstep

Notes: Trygon Predator was extremely unreliable as artifact removal. He was never necessary when he was down, and otherwise always late to the party (had to wait a turn cycle to get rid of the problem permanent, and would often be gotten rid of by then.)

Blighted Woodland underperformed as a ramp spell, my turn after casting Prophet could be often used much more profitably, and if I didn't have Prophet out, spending a turn on Explosive Vegetation was almost never the correct play. Beacon is a much more solid staple.

Sakura-Tribe Elder does the same thing I want Kodama's Reach for (ramp, not putting lands in my hand) at a cheaper CMC. Late game, it's more advantageous as a draw, as it triggers Vig. Chump blockers are always useful too.

Am testing Mental Misstep and Mystic Confluence. Both seem like very solid counters (free and modular respectively) that I couldn't pass up on.

Kruphix, God of Horizons was rarely ever more than just a Momir Vig triggerer. He rarely contributed any meaningful presence on the board, since my hand is rarely more than a few cards unless I'm about to win, at which point it doesn't matter, and floating mana through turns is unnecessary in the majority of cases with Prophet out.
