Take 2 on my Kresh build.

With this version of the deck I'm going for a greater focus on creature destruction, increased card draw, and better responses to the meta. To make room for new cards, I've removed many of the land destruction cards used to slow opponents in the early game, and the alternate win-con.

I've upped the number of creatures, boosting the potential to sac for profit. Cards like Braids, Arisen Nightmare and Rankle, Master of Pranks work best when when you have something other than Kresh to sac. To that end, Creakwood Liege can provide those bodies as well as a small buff. Goblin Anarchomancer and Thunderscape Familiar are not ideal for a three-color deck, but the bodies have value as sac-fodder. A few utility choices are chosen for the same reason. Midnight Reaper isn't a top draw card, but it has a bod.

The original deck also struggled with tokens. Treasures made my land destruction antics less reliable. Creature tokens reduced the effectiveness of cards like Fleshbag Marauder. To that end, I've added Archfiend of Depravity, Culling Ritual and Brotherhood's End to the suite of cards used to deter (Defense of the Heart) or remove tokens (Mandate of Abaddon, Vona's Hunger & Maelstrom Pulse).

I removed an alternate wincon from the deck by taking out Tooth and Nail which I had used to fetch Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Protean Hulk. I returned Demonic Tutor as a less costly and more flexible tutor, and only Protean Hulk remains.

For increased draw, the deck now includes Midnight Reaper, Morbid Opportunist, and Momentous Fall in addition to Grim Haruspex, Greater Goodfoil, and Sylvan Library.
