Bringing back Geist of Saint Traft since people are leaning so hard on -1/-1 effects. Also going to run both Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of Fire and Ice in the main to keep the deck fast and let geist get through blocks in game 1, with batterskull in the board.

Updated by adding Treasure Cruise and by moving the Sword of Feast and Famine out as I was never searching for it, though I still like the batterskull in the board.

Humility in the board is excellent in a few matchups, but I haven't been seeing those. With TC/DtT catching on so quickly I like the Notion Thief in that spot. I would like to find room for a Path to Exile and a Hydroblast in the board. Karakas frequently comes in in matchups when I don't want wastelands. While it is an amazing spell, I am wondering if I would be better off to just have a scrubland in that spot. Downside of scrubland is that it is only fetchable with 5 of my fetches, but that is 5 more than Karakas so....

Because Young Pyromancer is so popular I am tempted to find room for a second Zealous Persecution or a first Snapcaster Mage.
