After some initial testing, Faerie Macabre has been pulled out for Trickbind. Although Faerie does its job very cheaply, it is very narrow it the hate that it provides. Pushing Trickbind into its slow also helps against Necrotic Ooze decks and still maintains the mostly uncounterable aspect of Faerie Macabre.

fgator5220: Leovold out, Faerie Macabre in. We need graveyard hate to deal with the Hulks. Faerie is unique in that it does not reside on the board and yet is not cast when it does the removal. So it is very hard for our opponents to interact with it. Usually I recommend Day's Undoing for the budget Timetwister replacement as if you can use Alchemist's Refuge, it is exactly Timetwister, and the lower CMC makes up for the higher requirements for Spiral's casting cost. If you don't use Alchemist's Refuge, Undoing and Spiral end up being the same thing with a resource offset and different risk/reward structure, either will work in that slot. For Grim Tutor, Cruel Tutor is not as desirable as it puts things on top of the library and not in your hand. The big thing with Grim Tutor is that it works at the 3cmc slot for Seasons Pasts loops. Intuition may be better option as it gets the card to your hand, even though it is one of three that an opponent chooses. Using it to get your extra thing and then your other tutor to get Seasons Past would loop you, a little in efficiently but would loop you.

kilgore: you are correct, Notion Thief has a few too many issues with it. Leo having 3 toughness was very relevant when dealing with blockers. Notion thief at 1 is less desirable. Add in the extra costs and he doesn't make the cut.
