• Swapped out Mirror Mockery for Teleportation Circle to reuse even more ETB effects on more various creatures. It will also not die with the creature.

• Swapped out Curator of Mysteries for Ormos, Archive Keeper I really prefer looting to only scrying, it really goes better with my deck. It is also faster than scrying each time that I discard a card (which happens frequently with this deck.
