Briars Cleared

Now I've come to the end of my Skullbriar tweaks.

The final cuts were Blood Bairn and Diabolic Servitude for Yavimaya Elder and Drana, the Last Bloodchief.

Yavimaya Elder is something that probably should go in more decks, honestly. The mana fixing is too relevant in the format to ignore. I cannot think of how many games I have lost because of mana issues

Drana is a neat threat with +1 counters as part of her mechanic. The recursion doesn't hurt, so that card slots in better for Diabolic Servitude. 

Which is to say that I like where the deck is at now! It's still got some quirks-it's quite likely Mazirek doesn't belong here. I'm certainly not maxing that card out. 

But I'm not really maxing any card out, which is how I like to play Commander. Games should end, but I don't need turn 3 loop combos to take over. I've beefed up the removal and the overall creature quality, while also improving on some of the synergies I wanted Skullbriar to emphasize. 

Seems pretty good.
