This is my slide from UWr midrange to Tempo Bant. Notable cards out of my current price range are Tarmogoyf and Noble Hierarch. The absence of Goyf really doesn't seem too bad since he pretty much always loses out to T2 Geist plays. Hierarchs on the other hand has nothing but strictly worse replacements. That being said the deck runs just fine without them and they will simply be icing on the cake whenever they see a reprint.
