Aether Revolt —Jan. 21, 2017
Out: Panharmonicon
In: Hope of Ghirapur
Panharmonicon was very much a "win more" card in the deck; I'll find another use for it. The ability to prevent others from casting troublesome spells is rare in black and seems worth testing. Self-sacrificing is a nice bonus.
There's just no way for anyone else to benefit from this card as much as you. It rarely gets targeted because people like getting a few pieces of free fodder, and it's really easy to get on the board early at 2 mana. You'll be running plenty of sac effects to take advantage of the myr you get, and later it becomes a terrific token swarm producer. I tried Lightning Coils as well, but didn't like being forced to attack aggressively every turn and upkeep triggers are less versatile...
As for things I avoid/removed from my deck: Almost every creature with a tap effect instead of a trigger (and Hell's Caretaker is now on the short list of cards I will replace if something really useful gets printed). Cards with high CMC so I don't see dead cards in my opening hand. Cards that provide a redundant effect which does not include a sacrifice outlet, recursion, ramp, or draw.

...multiple versions of token production and drain effects are also prioritized as my win conditions.

Talk to me about Genesis Chamber. I've thought about it before. Try to convince me? What did you take out or leave out for it?
