{"ops":[{"insert":"After playing the deck a few times (including twice during last weekend's very fun ThinkTwiceCon), I've really found it to be more effective in getting payoffs from token ETBs than attacking with tokens (though obviously that remains an important fall-back option). To that end, I've replaced Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive with Warstorm Surge.\n\nI've also made some upgrades to the land base, with Flooded Strand, Strip Mine, Windswept Heath and Breeding Pool replacing 3 Islands and Exotic Orchard. I hope to acquire a Wooded Foothills soon, which would then replace the Flooded Strand.\n\nFinally, I've gotten my C20 Precons, so I am replacing Swan Song with Fierce Guardianship. I might end up putting Swan Song back for Arcane Denial but want to test it this way first.\n\nThis has rapidly become my favorite deck to play, and there are so many different paths to take with it that I expect to continue to tweak it. If it becomes too linear, I will just change it up rather than take the deck apart.\n"}]}
