The War cards have proven excellent and have really mass this deck more solid than before. Modern Horizons gives us an Izzet Canopy Land which'll only improve this deck (likely cutting Tarnished Citidal for it). Will also make room for Force of Negation. I plan on replacing the signets with Talismans (new izzet and old rakdos) just to speed up the mana base.

Treasure Nabber has proven a spicy include and I'm a fan (plus the additional walkers necessitate more bodies.)

Counterbalance, Cabal ritual, and impulse feel like the weakest cards in the list atm and may find themselves on the chopping block soon.
