Changes (V1 to V2).
Overall the theme here was to add more redundancy to getting card draw for myself and opponents.

- Island / + Otherworld Atlas
> Going to 34 Lands felt okay with mana rocks + ramp. Atlas ensures everyone is drawing more cards to trigger my permanents (and especially to help myself with Archmage Ascension).

- Mystic Sanctuary / + Geier Reach Sanitarium
> Sanctuary will usually be a one time effect, but Sanitarium can offer value every turn cycle.

- Fires Of Yavimaya / + Beastmaster Ascension
> Haste is a great effect for a token deck, but the majority of Snakes will be made on opponents turns and Locusts have Haste already. This was a simple swap to make the Snakes + Locusts more of a threat, but also helps Xyris if connecting for combat damage (card draw ability).

- Surly Badgersaur / + Consecrated Sphinx
> Badgersaur might work better in a Cycle and/or Madness deck. Sphinx is powerful for what it does and could end up eating a removal for Xyris or Locust God at the worst.
