So with PE banned some changes are definitely in store for this deck. It's likely that pure Control/Stax variants are too hurt by the ban to be as competitive as they had proven in testing, which is a shame (not to mention a waste of several weeks worth of my time). However the Storm variant is liable to not be affected all that much. I've done some preliminary testing with the Storm packages included and I want to give a hybridized version a shot for the next few weeks, incorporating elements from both versions to see if the middle ground version is flexible enough to switch gears as needed depending on the match and the pod.

Some cards are going to be better performers in the meta now that PE is banned, such as Rhystic Study, and a fair number of cards that either didn't function well with PE in an Urza list or with PE opposing an Urza list will now get some more time in testing to see how much this bump in performance matters in the meta.

Of particular note is the addition of Mystic Forge to the meta with PE no longer being an option. Future Sight and Mystic Forge are now liable to be the best options as primary engine lines to supplement Dramatic/Scepter Combo as they utilize a piece Urza was already running (Sensei's Divining Top) and play quite nicely with the storm package pieces. Unfortunately this makes playing one flex hate piece in particular a bit cumbersome (Grafdigger's Cage), and might make match ups against decks like Flash Hulk or Kess more difficult.
