In: Barrow-Blade

Out: Slagwurm Armor

The armor felt a little too defensive for Balan, who really wants to be attacking more than blocking. But Barrow-Blade is useful in both cases, and looks like it might help Balan win combats against some otherwise tricky creatures. Note that they lose first strike, too!

Cool Deck! Did you consider Sword of the Animist as another ramp card?

I also like Hero's Heirloom as another way to get haste and trample (basicly a discount Sword of Vengeance)

Thanks! Sword of the Animist would be great here, but I think it's just a bit more than I wanted to spend on a single card. If I ever come across one I'll definitely use it, though. Hero's Heirloom is cheap and looks useful, though, so I'll keep an eye out for that.
