Usual sweep through of the new set to see what's worth including. This one gave us a couple of sweet options! Irenicus's Vile Duplication is better than Sakashima in our deck because of the flying, and the fact that it pumps Rielle in the gy; Wild Magic Surge is a powerful removal piece that helps to give us another way to deal with problem enchantments; and Decanter of Endless Water isn't *super* strong, but we'll take all the incidental limitless hand size effects we can get! May be adding more after the commander decklists are spoiled, but I'm happy with this so far.

Revision 50

Added/removed cards:
-1 Izzet Charm
-1 Ornithopter of Paradise
-1 Sakashima the Impostor
+1 Decanter of Endless Water
+1 Irenicus's Vile Duplication
+1 Wild Magic Surge

Updates I've been able to make in the past while, which make some minor improvements to the deck's manabase and removal. Cyc Rift is a home run obviously, Tower should always have been here (and has been for ages, but I forgot to add it to the online list), and Cephalid Coliseum and Otawara, Soaring City have both been basically free swap-ins that work incredibly well with the plan. Still potentially looking to find a place for the new Tezzeret, but that remains to be seen!

Revision 40

Added/removed cards:
-1 Flood of Tears
+1 Cephalid Coliseum
+1 Cyclonic Rift

Going back over the last few spoiler seasons to check if there was anything I missed, and Witch's Clinic absolutely fits that bill! It's basically a free slot giving us a way to gain huge swaths of life later in the game and maybe play some politics as well, I'm real happy with it!

Revision 31

Added/removed cards:
+1 Witch's Clinic

Changed amounts:
-1 Island

Quick update for anybody interested, the last couple of weeks have been focused on trying out Crimson Vow cards and rejigging the deck appropriately to fit any tools I thought were worth it in the long run. However, the biggest update by far is actually in a card I completely forgot existed up until recently- Chandra's Ignition. The card is absolute gas in the deck- we have very few non-Rielle creatures that aren't disposable, so it essentially acts as a second copy of Immolating Gyre, with the added benefit of ending games out of nowhere in the later stages. I've been exceptionally happy with how it's performed so far, and while Triskaidekaphile is a funny (and legitimately attainable) wincon, Ignition just adds too much consistency to our game plan to pass up.

What's the payoff here? Is it just Tooth + Whale + Helix to pump something an infinite amount? If so, I'd absolutely be moving Drift of Phantasms into the main, it's not an artifact but it's a worthwhile transmute to guarantee one of your pieces. It's also worth noting that Consider might be a little better than Opt here, because you have ways to recur things from the graveyard. Otherwise, really sick setup!!
