Onslaught

I played one game with Bruticus against Noah, who was doing a MUD (big mana artifacts, do bad stuff) thing. The game went much like one might expect and the obvious problems where there; Older cards that have cheaper reprints now, like Megrim, were not as efficient, and not nearly enough removal to keep the early rush of creatures off my back.

Noetic Scales can do a lot, but since it doesn't come down until turn four I need to invest in early game removal. 

After a lot of thinking I began to wonder: what if Megrim is the stumbling block? The obvious replacement is Liliana's Caress but what if I don't need that card at all?

I thought about Master of Cruelties and I may try it anyway? But one copy of Gibbering Descent, Keldon Megaliths and the Megrims are coming out for removal. Geth's Verdict seems like a fine addition.
