I have replaced Narset Transcendent with Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, which unfortunately increased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.60 to 3.62, but I can accept that, as Teferi is generally much more powerful than is Narset.

I have replaced Villainous Wealth with Kotis, the Fangkeeper, which increased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.56 to 3.58, but that is acceptable, as I would need to spend at least 4 mana on the sorcery to obtain any value from it, and Kotis better fits the theme of this deck, as I can reanimate him with The Mimeoplasm.

capwner, your comment did not seem to be snide, at all, and I have no problem with every player preferring to employ their own strategies, since that is what makes the game so great, and I have no problem with some level of control decks, provided that they are not too controlling, although I do understand that that is highly subjective.

I have reinstated Commander's Sphere in this deck, replacing Mind Stone, which slightly increased the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.02 to 4.03, but that is still lower than what it previously was.

I have replaced Aura ShardsGC and Commander's Sphere with Hopeful Initiate and Kami of Whispered Hopes, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.60 to 3.56, since the enchantment was simply too oppressive, and the newer cards work well with this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters.

I have replaced Aura ShardsGC and Commander's Sphere with Hopeful Initiate and Kami of Whispered Hopes, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.05 to 4.02, since the enchantment was simply too oppressive, and the newer cards work with this deck's theme of +1/+1 counters.

capwner, I agree, with that, which is why I do not use that card.

capwner, that is a very nice phrase, but how is it relevant to this discussion?

theNeroTurtle, I appreciate that offer, but I do not wish to deny my opponents the fun of playing the game, so I have no problem with cards such as Rhystic StudyGC or Smothering TitheGC, but I will never use card such as Winter Orb or Static Orb, because I severely dislike those cards.

I have replaced Hinterland Harbor with Sodden Verdure, since Wood Elves can find the newer land.

theNeroTurtle, thank you, for that advice, so I certainly shall consider replacing Aura ShardsGC with that creature!
