That's the replacement that I did, since I liked the Captive as a late game threat. I figured that the colour-fixing on the taxidermist made it better even if it would also be less reliable as a late game relevant body.

This is the same swap I'm planning to make. Captive was okay at best in my environment. It rarely flipped and when it did, it felt terrible if it got removed (7 mana is a ton). Hoping that Taxidermist will alleviate that issue while enabling 5 color green and being an okay payoff for the GB yard matters/value decks.
Finally getting around to putting together my inclusions. Here's what I'm thinking for my 360.
Stormchaser Drake --> Skyship Plunderer I never really liked Plunderer. It always felt out of it's element in blue. It's fine as a 2/1 flyer, but the card draw from Drake might actually trigger more.
Thirst for Discovery --> Compulsive Research Better card is just better.
Fell Stinger --> Liliana's Devotee I really like Devotee, but also really want to try out the Stinger. Black threes are getting pretty stacked.
Reckless Impulse --> Weaponize the Monsters Weaponize is good as an extra sac outlet in red, but the activation is a bit pricey for repeatable value or combo potential. Reckless Impulse is some needed card advantage for red.
Reclusive Taxidermist --> Devoted Druid I'm supporting persist combo pretty hard, so this is a tough cut. I'm also trying to push a graveyard matters theme in green, though, so I'm not unhappy with the swap. Plus tapping for any color is not nothing. Good fixing is always welcome.
I haven't made a decision on Vilespawn Spider yet. I'm thinking of swapping it in for either Trygon Predator or Frilled Mystic. Maybe Predator is a relic of peasant cubes past?
Trygon Predator is a card I feel will not leave my Simic section anytime soon. A 2/3 is a big enough butt to block with, and the destruction of artifacts on getting through is really big, in my opinion. I always found Frilled Mystic to be too colour-intensive.
Reclusive Taxidermist or Ulvenwald Captive?
