Changes w White

3 Mana O-Rings are gone, swapped in removal with mana value 2 and another 1 drop.

u Blue

Reducing complexity, Looter Il-Kor gone because of Shadow, Mist-Syndicate Naga gone because of Ninjutsu.

b Black

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse was a bit too dominant last draft, God-Eternal Bontu is pretty chunky. Shifted the black curve lower/towards sac with another 1 drop, removal spell and a Transmogrant's Crown

r Red

Added Play with Fire for spellslinger decks (still haven't seen anyone put one together) and Spiteful Prankster for Rakdos sac decks.

g Green

Wanted to put Plow Under back in but can't find the card. Will do eventually

m Multicoloured

Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner has been showing up in Pioneer, seems better than Nissa, Steward of Elements, which has a tonne of words and does nothing. Also, Goose Hydra.

Trying out Heartflame Duelist. No hate against Showdown of the Skalds, but want to keep the Boros curve low.

Very keen on Scalding Viper, especially the adventure half. Niv-Mizzer, Parun is a more exciting build-around than Ral, Storm Conduit.

Grist, the Hunger Tide actually has too many words. Trying out Mosswood Dreadknight.

c Colourless/Lands

Grand Coliseum not necessary with City of Brass and Mana Confluence already doing it's job. I realised I didn't want the dice rolling of Ebony Fly. Myriad Construct is pretty boring.

Added Metallic Mimic and Nettlecyst for Johnnys/Jennys, Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender for spikes.

Future Changes?

Ordered some cards from LCI.

Consider cutting Dream Trawler, Elder Gargaroth, Fallen Shinobi, Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, Primeval Titan, Ilharg, the Raze-Boar, Trostani Discordant, etc. Basically chunky midrange bois/cards with a lot of words that don't do much.

Adds to consider are in the maybeboard.

Swaps

Plus a couple of version swaps

Mainboard Changelist+1, -1

One more change - removing the last Companion from my cube. Not worth explaining the rules. Dream Trawler is a card I removed previously, so not sure how long it will stick around.
