Guilds of Ravnica —Sept. 25, 2018

Here's a summary of some of the changes I've made over the past couple months, including a card I plan to add from the upcoming Guilds of Ravnica:

Additions

Beast Whisperer: New from Guilds of Ravnica, this will be replacing Soul of the Harvest. At 4 CMC it comes down early enough to accrue more value than Soul of the Harvest.

Spell Swindle: I had previously underestimated this counterspell. 5 CMC is a lot but the treasure tokens are great value, giving me further capacity to cast spells on my opponents' turns and trigger Rashmi.

Stunt Double: After cutting Progenitor Mimic a while back, I found I missed having a clone in the deck. Stunt Double synergizes more with the deck as it has flash.

Riverwise Augur: An Ixalan block card that had escaped my notice. I've put it in my Aminatou deck and it works great there. I'm trialing it here. It's effectively Brainstorm on a stick, allowing me to set up what I cast with Rashmi's trigger.

Cuts

Soul of the Harvest: As mentioned above, it's being replaced with Beast Whisperer which has lower CMC.

Hornet Queen: Hornet Queen is a powerful creature but a little expensive. Cut her to reduce average CMC of the deck.

Brutalizer Exarch: This card has been in and out of the deck so many times. It's back on the maybelist. It may find its way back in if I don't like how Riverwise Augur plays.

Pongify: The deck has a lot of removal/counterspells so I'm trialing cutting this one. Bounce spells are more on theme with the deck. Having said that, this card is still on the maybelist as an efficient removal spell and may find its way back in.
