Comments very welcome. I'm trying to get my ultimate version of this down on paper and build into it. Your input is highly valued.

-3 Treasure Cruise

MB

+1 Swamp

+1 End Hostilities

+1 Dig Through Time

SB

+1 Hushwing Gryff

I have found that having 3 Digs and 3 Cruises has led to having an over abundance of draw cards in early game where casting them has been an issue and tapping out is not a viable option against decks that are ramping and dropping big threats. Having another sweeper mainboard will help deal with many strategies that a sorcery speed draw card cannot. Testing has found me only wanting to draw during the opponent's end phase so increase a Dig. Added another swamp because the Hero's Downfalls have been doing a lot of work first game and Bile Blight has been useful after boarding. Hitting 2xB, 2xU or 2xW to match cards in hand has been a spot sometimes, but I think another black source will be best.

Hushwing Gryff into the SB as its just a great sideboard card against many strategies and I have enough creature hate.

Possibilities for the future:

MB

1 or 2 Perilous Vault maybe to replace End Hostilities to increase sweeper diversity.

Drop an Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver for another Sorin, Solemn Visitor.

Squeezeing in another Plains somewhere

SB Tormod's Crypt or equivalent for reanimator strats
