Hmm... interesting! It seems Lorwyn has given us gads of yummy removal! I think that Crib Swap could be considered better than Rend Flesh in many cases. Like you said, who cares about the 1/1? Why not have the removal that can hit as much as possible?!
I agree with your other mentioned cards, but of course the removal base must be examined to see what can be switched/changed, ect...
As for the other mentioned, Austere Command is intriguing.... the idea of being able to spot pick is tempting... but what could it replace? Not Rout, not Wrath... Vengeance? Ah well, it's at least a consideration....
