*Except for
Torch
All-in aggro with
The Creation Project as the top end.
Xenan Obelisk that draws a card each turn is still good.
Alluring Qirin and
Entrancer package for gunking up early plays.
Relay Point gets a 5/5 on turn 2 instead of
Dinosaur Nest which does nothing the turn it comes down.
Valkyrie Enforcer and other double influence cards are cut to minimize power base strain.
Shoal Custodian for extra spell taxing and bounce effect to avoid nonbos with spell-based removal and Qirin.

-3 sigils, -1
Combrei Banner, -1
Praxis Banner, +4 Mark of the Hive , +1
Rakano Banner. Banners swapped because getting turn 1 T, turn 2 FJ is most important. Ideally Marks shouldn’t be kept in the opening hand unless there’s another 1-2 power so that it can be undepleted or play it as a depleted dual without stumbling. Worst matchup for the deck is still its own mana base.
~~-2
Amaran Stinger, -1
Desert Marshal, +3
Incendiary Slagmite for market interaction vs
Spire Shadows.~~
Reversed non power changes since Spire nerf (rip in peace)
4/5 Market slots are pretty much set. Flex slot is
Edict of Shavka just because of all the Kira running around.
