I decided on Phyrexian Metamorph over Cryptoplasm because copying artifacts is sometimes useful, and a 1 turn delay before you get the form you want is sometimes too much. Still considering this change though, as being in Sun Titan range and being able to change the form are sometimes very valuable features and Cryptoplasm may be back.
I went with Duplicant over Phyrexian Ingester because Akroma, Angel of Fury became a thing in my meta and I had ZERO non-white, non-blue creature removal in my deck. Its spot in the pod chain and being able to Fabricate for it are also pluses.
Sower of Temptation works very well over Control Magic. Flashing it in or pairing it with DEN for quick defense are good things.
Mirari's Wake is a huge enabler. Makes it possible to play a large creature and have counter or blink mana up.
The Cryptic Annelid experiment wasn't working out, not that it had much of a chance to see play. There were too many other value cards to find room for and it seemed the most likely cut.
I experimented with Kruphix, God of Horizons, but he wasn't having the impact I hoped for, but another Roon deck has been making good use of him. I may try again soon.
I'm not sure which land I swapped out, but I put a Reliquary Tower in.
