• Braids, Cabal Minion > Knight of the Ebon Legion: Long live stax. Braids has gotten to slow and grindy for my environment, and a 4 mana 2/2 with a delayed effect is not holding up. Knight has impressed me in other environments as a scalable aggro beater.
  • Liliana's Triumph > Eliminate: Edicts are a tough sell in this day and age, and Triumph's upside wasn't enough to justify its inclusion. It is replaced by a slam-dunk removal spell from M21.
  • Night's Whisper > Heartless Act: While it may make a return eventually, Whisper was cut for a premier removal spell.
  • Abbot of Keral Keep > Heartfire Immolator: As one of red's least played two-drops, Abbot promises a lot but infrequently delivers. Heartfire Immolator will occupy a test slot.
