Cards I felt were underperformers
Psychic Miasma
- I managed to get this spell off 3 times against one opponent before he realized he should be laying down lands 11, 12, 13 and not taking 2 damage to Liliana's Caress and giving the card back to me.Other than this, I think the card will be removed and replaced with Jace Beleren.
Spell Pierce - Should probably just limit this to 2x SB.
Liliana Vess - At first I thought this could be an alternate wincon, but after playing the deck, I believe if the game goes on long enough that the ultimate is useful, either me or my opponent should have already won. This ended up just being a 5CMC opponent discards a card.
