Pianna vs soltari champion is like mulldrifter vs gryff vanguard. So I replace one with the other.
G, T: draw a basic land might actually be playable, so I'd consider it. I don't think it's consistent enough to include for combo purposes.
OK, so far I have been avoiding online only downshifts, simply because I do not want to put gold symbols in my cube. But I think Hermit Druid and Soltari Champion have just pushed me over to the dark side. (hey, I could always alter the cards by recolouring the set symbol)
I am unsure about Kezzerdrix because the only cut I can see myself making for this is Viscera Dragger, who is quite an important card for my Dredge support package, I will have think on him (I am a fan of the big psycho bunny).
But I have officially pulled the trigger and am putting the following cards in my cube (thanks for the suggestion guys):
EDIT: Just did a draft on Cubetutor after implementing the above changes, managed to draft a cool anthem based Azorius aggro deck, which is something that didn't really happen before, I am happy with these changes already!
(I should probably have tried to fit Skymark Rock and a few others into the deck, but I was hurrying it a bit because I'm not really meant to be drafting at work :P)
What deck plays Hermit Druid by the way? Vintage Dredge?
One deck that really loves Hermit Druid is Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord in EDH.
They basically run no basic land at all, wait for something like Lhurgoyf, Boneyard Wurm, Nighthowler ect (or a Wreath of Geists on the Druid himself) to come out, trigger Hermit Druid to mill their entire library into the graveyard, then sac the Lhurgoyf to Jarad's activated ability, dealing about 50-60 damage to each opponent.

the whole cycle was already uncommon in vintage masters.
Other downshifts I am looking to include:
Prophetic Bolt
Penumbra Wurm
Goblin Trenches
Serendib Efreet
and maybe Avenging Angel
Am I missing any slam dunk auto-includes from that list?
Draft it on Cubetutor here, and CubeCobra here.
Treasure Cruise did nothing wrong.
