Since all your PW are red, consider Chandra, Acolyte of Flame as a multitool that also boosts their loyalty. It's also virtual card draw since you can recast some stuff from your graveyard.

Disclaimer: I'm not an EDH player

1) Vraska, Betrayal's Sting really does it all for you imho, more proliferate, card draw (which I specifically looked for since the card you want to replace was a card advantage slot), removal AND alt-wincon

2) Reckoner Bankbuster was so busted they banned it in Standard, this card is more lean and relies on other proliferators to recharge it, but it will draw you some cards over time

3) Magistrate's Scepter looks like it could go pseudo-infinite if you can stick a couple of reliable permanent-proliferators

4) Darksteel Reactor

I don't know if any of the above cards would be considered too unfair in the context of a social game, if that's something you have to consider in your playgroup

Not an EDH player, but I felt inspired to do a quick search and I hope it's not too embarrassing... I focused mostly, but not exclusively, on 1 power creatures for max synergy:

happy brewing

That card deserves its own deck. I somehow managed to miss it entirely when looking through the set... looks broken tbh but I agree with capwner it would absolutely strengthen this deck as well imho.

Sorry for triple posting but in my example above I somehow missed that you could just pre-combat go off on T3 and then attack with 3-4 hard-to-block creatures that each have a million power and toughness, yea.

To be more specific:

T1: Land, Birds of Paradise OR Gilded Goose

T2: Land, Play 3 creatures that are Bird/Otter/Rat/Frog like Elusive Otter, Silver Raven or more Birds of Paradise/Gilded Goose

T3: Land, pass the turn - then, in response to something or at opponent's EOT - flash in Valley Floodcaller... you now have 5 creatures to Convoke + Buyback Sprout Swarm, untap the creatures, repeat a million times.

T4: untap with invincible army that goes both big AND wide

sylvannos Sprout Swarm if you have enough frogs/birds/otters/rats you go infinite

FormOverFunction Your post created a picture in my mind where some intern at WotC is on the line with a way-too-busy gentleman in Istanbul trying to do serious business with his customers talking about how ordering boxes of fancy cardboard would increase his revenue and customer happiness long term. Actually made my day, thanks! xD

"I just hung up on Henriqueta in Sao Paulo and she's totally ordering some for the bakery... free shipping..."

Anyway, I agree with your conclusion.
