A whole lot of cards have been through the gambit. Screaming Nemesis, Graveyard Trespasser, Tainted Adversary, and Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury were among the many cards I swapped in.
A lot of these have felt suboptimal or just not quite doing what I hoped. Others were clearly awesome, or should definitely find a way into the sideboard, like Graveyard Trespasser.
But one problem I stumbled into often was that I would need to reuse my cards. Scrapshooter has done some excellent work-but I find that I need to use the ability a second time. Running Cavern Harpy is fine but the restriction of only getting a Black or Blue creature was limiting.
Stonecloaker has been my current solution to this (and was also why I was testing Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury).
I still need to do some work but I thought this might be a good time to check into the manabase, running it through the Deckstats algo. That's when I discovered I had another problem: The online version I've been running has Abrupt Decay, but the paper one does not. That's a pretty massive deal, since Decay solves so many problems that Aluren opens the door to.
So now I have to look a little deeper, and that's before I look at the manabase!
Going to be an interesting one--if I can get the game reps in.
