Small re-tweaking after April's enormous update. Aiming to smooth out the kinks in 
to improve its status as the top color for removal. Soft graveyard hate being introduced in Elspeth's Nightmare is welcome since I wanted to add to keep the Duress effect somewhere in the cube. Snuff Out returns since instant-speed removal options are premium. Barter in Blood is the top 
sacrifice card that also functions in 
tokens and control shells. Terminate is simple but Angrath's rampage is too weak.
Meanwhile, I wanted to adjust the creature density in and 
. They already have the highest percentage, plus many of their non-creature cards make creatures. I wanted to scale this back slightly to force players to take unique spells in their colors and avoid 20+ creature pile drafts. This adds the opportunity for a few good substitutions -

Palace Jailer is finally banned. He's too good (powerful enough to be a force in fully powered cubes) in a color that shouldn't be drawing that many cards. Encircling Fissure is one of the only one-sided fog effects that plays with the +1/+1 counter guilds. Hope players use this for interesting blowouts.

Mild spice being introduced in Path to the World Tree. A decent fixer-card and payoff for drafters that want to dare to go 5-color nonsense. There really isn't anything else like it at peasant rarity, and it's still useful even in the Gx decks, so it deserves a chance to shine as a pet card.

Slaughter the strong is downshifted to uncommon and the best "wrath" white gets. I hope it can be used alongside Flickerwisp effects to hide on-board power and gain an advantage or for aggro decks to destroy board with bulky defenders.
