I can see why you may remove Breach for space but why do your prefer the cantrip cycle? I'd have thought keeping a few of the Breach designs without an ability word would be a good option.
To cut down on complexity, mainly. I feel like the cantrip cycle fills the same role I intended the Breach cards for without spending as much complexity budget. The downside is that these no longer act as instant-speed combat tricks, which you need a few slots for of as well. If you feel the complexity issue isn't as big, I'll reconsider it.
I don't remember what breach did, but how does replacing one mechanic with... two mechanics (since Deadlock and Escort are coming in) supposed to reduce complexity again?
How are these logically connected? I wanted to have Deadlock and Escort in the set, then I replaced Breach with the cantrip cycle to reduce the complexity.
Breach is:
Ground Pierce3G
Instant (U)
Target creature gets +3/+3 and gains trample until end of turn. Breach — If you've cast Ground Pierce during your main phase, that creature gets +6/+6 and gains trample until end of turn instead.
I was looking at the current card set and one question came up in my mind: "Why?" Why does Vial of Moonglove have that "You lose the game" thing... It serves no purpose as far as I know.

I... guess? Ok, the Lich Mirror one is cleaver. Don't see why you would do it but it sure works. (I guess you could dodge an Insurrection type of effect and save everyone.)

Also: Trigger your EDH buddy's Blood Tyrant or Withengar Unbound when all hope is lost. Hit your Lich's Mirror trigger early. Abuse Bazaar Trader and Mindslaver. The possibilities are... not endless, but they do exist.
