Theros Beyond Death —Jan. 19, 2020
With the release of Theros Beyond Death comes another, incredibly powerful, addition to the deck in the form of Nyxbloom Ancient. It's almost exactly the same as the Mana Reflection that's already in the deck, but with a couple notable upsides:
1) It makes my permanents tap for 3x as much mana, as opposed to just 2x.
2) It's a creature, which gives me the ability to put it into play much easier than if it weren't. Suddenly Green Sun's Zenith, Chord of Calling, Natural Order, Tooth and Nail and Eldritch Evolution just put it straight from the deck to the board. There's presently no way to achieve that effect with Mana Reflection.

Initially I thought of just doing a 1:1 swap of Reflection for Ancient, since they're almost the same card. However, after discussing it with people and mulling over it myself, I actually believe The Great Henge is the right choice. I was initially big on the Henge, and rightfully so because it's incredibly powerful. However, after getting in numerous games after including it, I never felt like it did anything truly remarkable for me. Therefore, the change is as follows:
