[ComingUpCway84]

Hey guys! The deck is now officially updated with the cards I think suit it most from MH2 and AFR, mostly just to increase efficiency. The two biggest additions by far are You Find the Villains' Lair, as either a hard counter or another looting effect; and arguably even more importantly, Sorcerer Class. SC is an all-star include- it loots for 2 mana, turns Rielle and our Krakens into mana dorks, and can turn into another finisher in the late game.
I'm also currently trying out Diamond Lion, partly because I think the card is cool, and partly because an instant speed wheel that can generate counterspell mana actually seems worthwhile for 2 mana. That one will remain to be seen though!

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.

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

[ComingUpCway84]

Couple of minor updates, adding 2 cycling lands for some utility and another couple of powerful pieces. Currently testing out a small wizard package, so stay tuned to see if it makes the final cut!

Revision 36

Added/removed cards:
-1 Harmonic Prodigy
-1 Step Through
-1 Vedalken Aethermage
+1 Careful Consideration
+1 Compulsive Research
+1 Mystic Redaction

[ComingUpCway84]

Another small update, adding Attunement (a card I'd completely forgotten about that breaks wide open) and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces as an additional finisher/way to copy Rielle as I opened one recently.

Revision 38

Added/removed cards:
-1 Compulsive Research
-1 Mind Stone
+1 Attunement
+1 Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

[ComingUpCway84]

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
+1 Otawara, Soaring City
+1 Reliquary Tower

Changed amounts:
-3 Island

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
