That all looks good, but I'd cut Gilded Lotus instead of Ratchet Bomb or Duplicant. I ran Lotus for along time in my cube and it was rarely more than mediocre. Cut it from your cube and put it in an EDH deck where it shines.
@mischief: I always prefer the link to the deck, since there are sometimes small mistakes, like
#Man-o-War >> Man-o'-War
# Eight and a Half Tails » Eight-and-a-Half-Tails (by approximate card name)
# Meloku, the Clouded Mirror » Meloku the Clouded Mirror (by approximate card name)
anyway here are the results:
I think all the cards on the left are better than all the cards on the right. I don't know which column is IN and which is OUT, but I'm hoping this is IN -> OUT.
I should have added that, you are correct. it's IN -> OUT
If you count the Sanctifiers as a 4 drop, then white already has 13 2 drop creatures compared to 4 for 3 mana. On the other hand the number, the number of creatures for 5+ mana is quite high, especially if you also take the cards that act like or produce creatures into account. So my choice would be cutting the 5 mana reanimation spell and keep Fllickerwisp in.
While it is a fun card, we often didn't get the 4 mana investment back from a Clone after we lowered the curve more and more. The Sphinx is pretty hard to deal with and while it doesn't offer the utility of Morphling, you never need to spend any more mana for it and while the peek ability might look cute it gives you an information advantage, that allows you to play different (if you have a Wrath on top) or get more value out of your shuffle effects..
These are good suggestions, let me think it over, thank you Eidolon!
Yeah, my bad, I should have clarified, I took the initial statement to mean combat damage. I does protect again 'destroy' effects.
Boros Charm doesn't stop planeswalkers from dying.
Yes, it's unintuitive, but it's how the rules work.
I, for one, prefer the longer casts.
LOL, was just going to suggest that.
I cut Gilded Lotus for Myr Battlesphere.
Good idea about including it into my EDH deck.
In -> Out
White Knight -> Stoneforge Mystic
Keldon Champion -> Skizzik
Rift Bolt -> Hells Thunder
What about Ratchet Bomb -> Duplicant?
Here are my proposed changes for SOM. Thoughts?
Elspeth Tirel -> Martial Coup
Glimmerpoint Stag -> Emeria Angel
Stoneforge Mystic -> Eight-and-a-half Tails
Seal of Cleansing -> White Knight
Fume Spitter -> Slaughter Pact
Skinrender -> Decree of Pain
Arc Trail -> Rift Bolt
Koth of the Hammer -> Keldon Champion
Spikeshot Elder -> Flame Slash
Chimeric Mass -> Phyrexian Ironfoot
Molten-Tail Masticore -> Thran Dynamo
Mimic Vat -> Isochron Scepter
Myr Battlesphere -> Gilded Lotus
Nim Deathmantle -> Gathan Raiders
Ratchet Bomb -> Oblivion Stone
Sword of Body and Mind -> Worn Powerstone
Wormcoil Engine -> Platinum Angel
Basilisk Collar -> Brittle Effigy
Blackcleave Cliffs -> Sulfurous Springs
Copperline Gorge -> Karplusan Forest
Dammit! Thanks for doing this... I'll make sure to give you the link next time.

the saying was "Half man, half amazing".
But for some reason, having the 3 "half"s in your sentence doesn't work.. lol.
I got the reference though.
Yeah, I still like the Blade too, but I can't seem to find something to remove.
