  1. Here is what I think:

    Wall of Denial for Sky Spirit

    All four Green/White guys in, leaving only LoxHier

    Nemesis of Reason in for Blizzard Specter? I feel less confident on that one.

    Spellbound Dragon in for Izzet Chronarch, good-fucking-riddance.

    Lorescale Coatl (2/2 for 3 that gets a +1/+1 counter when you draw a card) in for Jhessian Infiltrator

    Maelstrom Pulse in for Nath

    If Lightning Reaver goes in, it should be for Shambling Remains, but I don't feel strongly about this.

    I want that haste elf in, but don't really know for what or if it happens. Savage Twister does not get a lot of play though, if that matters.

    Empyrial Archangel, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Thraximundar, Uril: Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

  2. To clarify re: Rafiq and T-Gargs: I love both of these guys, I really do. But I think if we can minimize the necessity of having three colors on turn 3 or 4 or whatever, that is the direction we should go. Don't get me wrong- Mox + Serendib Efreet + Rafiq => 8 damage on turn three is pretty nice, but on average I think the reliable shroud badass is a better choice. Also, the fact the Sphinxkroma avoids Nantuko Vigilante and such is pretty cool.
