-2 Temur Battle Rage

-4 Ghor-Clan Rampager

-3 Elvish Mystic

+3 Experiment One

+4 Vines of Vastwood

+2 Sagu Mauler

Trying a few things differently! The Elvish Mystics didn't tend to be doing a whole lot; nice to have on turns 1-2 for a little bit of early game ramp, but that seldom made the difference on this deck (particulary since Rattleclaw Mystic can tap for any color I need), so I figure Experiment One is worth a shot since it can grow into something more useful mid-late game, as well as protect itself in a pinch.

I'm swapping Ghor-Clan Rampager and Temur Battle Rage for Vines of Vastwood. I used the former primarily as a pump spell, and since most of my heavy-hitting creatures in this deck hit for 4 damage anyway, the protection element of Vines of Vastwood makes it more versatile. With Arlinn Kord  ^Flip and Kessig Wolf Run I shouldn't have too much difficulty getting Trample if that's what I need in the moment.

Putting in 2 Sagu Maulers just to have a couple of BIG creatures that are really hard to deal with. :)

I'm also trying to work on a proper sideboard.
