Meteorite to replace Raiders' Karve:
This downshift rocks! A mana rock that can make an impact on the board is welcome in any midrange ramp strategies. As this fills in the same ramp niche any reason to keep Raiders' Karve in has sunk with it.
Benalish Sleeper to replace Pillory of the Sleepless:
The irony is not lost on me that a sleeper would be replacing the sleepless. Both these cards fill in the same role of putting an opposing creature to bed, however one has the flexability of putting the opponent to rest.
Phyrexian Vivisector to replace Join the Maestros:
On closer inspection Join the Maestros required a much larger body than what was achievable in the cube as such it did not make the cut.
Shore Up to replace Rousing Read:
I wanted to ensure blue had some interesting combat tricks. The card draw was interesting but often you were after something more on the defensive side of the court.
Urborg Repossession to replace Desecrator Hag:
Regrowth has finally made its way into pauper! This possesses all the things that Golgari desperately needed allowing it to be more than just creature recursion. Desecrator Hag is a fantastic card but its now time to place it in the annuls of history.
Samite Herbalist:
A little unimpressive at first but there are many ways to trigger this. This may help revitalise the use of vehicles in aggressive decks.
Tolarian Terror:
A true terror indeed. This thing possesses the body to contest Gurmag Angler and all it needs is a few spells deposited into the graveyard. This card will haunt players for years to come.
Writhing Necromass:
Not quite the same as Gurmag Angler or Tolarian Terror. Often times you won't get a big enough discount and that's with a dedicated self-mill strategy.
Tolarian Geyser:
A very powerful card and fairly costed. If it were a mana cheaper this card would be a snap inclusion.
The "dual" lands & Meria's Outrider:
If domain ever pans out these will be the first cycle to be included in with a very nice pay off.
