3-3-4

 A few short updates to a few decks, because I had a few 'hm' moments and wanted to check 'em out.

For the Black Silence/White Noise deck, I've leaned harder into the White hand control elements and with that, decided that Spelltithe Enforcer is too expensive for the deck. The effect is very powerful, but it arrives too late. 

So swapping out the three Enforcers for Aven Interrupter

I took Frenzy out for a few spins and even swapped in three copies of Urabrask! I figured: why not? This deck plays spells, extra mana is good, and The Great Work could help close games.

In practice, Frenzy is already running so low to the ground that Urabrask isn't really helpful. Either I have the game already in hand, or it's far and away from me. So those come out for the current hotness: Slickshot Show-Off.

Finally, I've made a few changes to Children of the Grave, (including testing a W/B version! It did not work out. At all.) most specifically swapping out Death's Shadows for Yargle and Multani, as well as a few big Red creatures that might be useful. 

To that end, I've found that Fling, as much as I love that card, is unnecessary. If I cannot win the game by attacking with a hasted 36 power trample creature, I cannot win. Fling won't change that. 

So I'm taking out the four Flings and adding in Seasoned Pyromancer. That card deserves a home!

Are any of these things good? I don't know! But they'll be fun to try.
