Revision 87

Added/removed cards:
-1 Alhammarret's Archive
-1 Brainspoil
-1 Sepulchral Primordial
+1 Sea Gate Restoration // Sea Gate, Reborn
+1 Turntimber Symbiosis // Turntimber, Serpentine Wood
+1 Avenger of Zendikar

Modal double face cards are great at always hitting lands, though my land base is a bit tight to replace any of the lands I have, they will replace some of the less exciting cards. Brainspoil being taken out because I feel like I have enough card draw that I don't need to tutor up the best cards when I usually draw them such as enablers like gavi, bone miser, or ETB threats like golos or acidic slime; I like variance and I am embracing it with Turntimber symbiosis, it fits the same role as searching up a card but only 7 deep but has the flexibility of being played as a land whereas I have never once used brainspoil's other mode of destroying something. Alhammarret's is being replaced for sea gate restoration as I would often discard it to hand size anyway. Gaining life is not a big focus of the deck and keruga, great henge, combustible gearhulk, and all the other draw options I have been playing have been fine at keeping me a full hand without alhammaret's. Chromatic orrery as well has been doing as much drawing as alhammaret's while also providing mana. Avenger replacing sepulchral for faster kills; not quite as value as stealing your opponents' stuff with Sepulchral and leaves me more open to dying from Rakdos Charm and Massacre Wurm, but the deck has lots of triggers and it's turns are slow so I would rather kill people faster.
