Minor adjustments to existing cards:
RemovedAddedReason
Haunted DeadKitchen ImpAdding another cheap madness threat to bolster the aggressive madness deck
Archway of InnovationMinamo, School at Water's EdgeReverting failed archway to Minamo
Veronica, Dissident ScribeInti, Seneschal of the SunReverting failed madness swap to Inti
Avacyn's JudgmentDetective's PhoenixRemoving weakest burn spell and adding a new graveyard card. Flying is powerful, so phoenix may play very strongly in the aggressive lists
New Additions from Bloomburrow:
RemovedAddedReason
Animation ModuleHeirloom EpicModule was a spec add to see how it would be used. It was generally ignored and heirloom epic should have some interesting play patterns with tokens or other utility creatures
Enclave CryptologistStormchaser's TalentA new aggressive blue creature that can double as a late game payoff for the spells decks
Duelist of the MindShoreline LooterDuelist proved awkward to trigger and the power clause rarely mattered. Looter will slot well into decks looking to trigger madness or just draw cards after self-milling a bit
Mercurial SpelldancerKitsa, Otterball EliteSpelldancer rarely saw play. Kitsa will allow for controlled looting to help utilize some of the reactive madness spells and Kitsa's ability to copy a spell may lead to some interesting plays with cards like Hinata
Jegantha, the WellspringHugs, Grisly GuardianWith the addition of MDFC lands playing Jegantha has gotten more difficult. In the past few drafts she has rarely hit the table even when being companioned. Swapping to Hugs to give another payoff to big mana gruul decks
Swapping (most) checklands to an asymmetrical land cycle:
