April Update
  • Significantly more support for Heroic
  • Testing adding in a few cards for Bogles as it plays well with Heroic
  • Removing some memes
Swaps

Garruk's Companion -> Kalonian Tusker

Garruk's Companion was an all-star in Duels of the Planeswalkers, so I really want to keep it here as a solid 2-drop that enables Green Devotion. However, the 3 toughness on Kalonian Tusker just makes it such a better blocker and attacker.

Brave the Elements -> Defiant Strike

Defiant Strike cantrips and triggers Heroic, whereas Brave the Elements is purely a mono-white Aggro card.

Risk Factor -> Akroan Crusader

Risk Factor is a meme, Akroan Crusader is a filler-level Heroic enabler.

Yasova Dragonclaw -> Gladecover Scout

Yasova Dragonclaw is not really worth it for 3 mana. The 2 toughness and necessary board state and mana investment make it a poor choice. I don't really care about keeping the cycle of Khans in the cube. Gladecover Scout is an elf, and enables and signals a whole archetype.

Godsend -> Vanguard of Brimaz

Removing a filler-level equipment to add in a filler-level Heroic enabler that helps reduce the card disadvantage inherent in the archetype.

Conclave Mentor -> Dromoka's Command

There isn't enough consistent +1/+1 counter synergy to justify breaking the cube ethos for Conclave Mentor. Dromoka's Command is flexible and was a Standard all-star during Khans block.

Daghatar the Adamant -> Fleecemane Lion

Adding another threat with the potential of Hexproof to go with Gladecover Scout and all the enchantments being added to the cube.

Agent of the Fates -> Alpha Authority

More hexproof support for Bogles and Heroic. Agent of the Fates is so cool, but black doesn't have enough support for Heroic.

Radical Idea -> Aqueous Form

Aqueous Form supports Heroic and Bogles while providing some card selection to Tempo decks.

Accorder Paladin -> Ethereal Armor

Adding more support for Bogles at the cost of Humans / White Aggro.

Kor Hookmaster -> Hero of Iroas

I don't love Hero of Iroas here, because there are very few auras that cost more than a single mana. However, this is an attempt at putting in more Heroic support that could also be a filler-level 2-drop in Humans or Soldiers.

Advent of the Wurm -> Selesnya Charm

Advent of the Wurm is so fucking cool and goofy. However, Selesnya charm is flexible across multiple archetypes.
