Essentials through Innistrad

[TheAbe]

I took the Essentials apart, and added all of the cards back to M Besieged that were never added. I pulled out a lot of cards that I really like and added a shitpot of great cards. This is a suggestion of course. Here are my changes:


Out:

Sunblast Angel
Oblation
Exalted Angel
Wall of Blossoms
Sylvan Scrying
Raking Canopy
Chameleon Colossus
Fire/Ice
Sol'kanar the Swamp King
Mystic Enforcer 10
Oros, the Avenger
Meglonoth
Anathemancer
Brion Strongarm
Fight to the Death
Willbender
Rite of Replication
Suffer the Past
Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
Zoetic Cavern 20
Sword of Fire and Ice
Behemoth Sledge



I know, that's a crap ton of great cards. But, it allows me to add:


Past in Flames
Gavony Township
Rune-Carved Demon
Jace, Memory Adept
Garruk, Primal Hunter
Sphinx of Uthuun
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls
Edric, Spymaster of Trest
Beast Within
Karn Liberated 10
Batterskull
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Urabrask, the Hidden
Etched Monstrosity
Phyrexian Rebirth
Consecrated Sphinx
Black Sun;s Zenith
Praetor's Counsel
Blightsteel Colossus 20
Bonehoard
Birthing Pod


22 out, 22 in. I think we'd all agree that the second list is much better than the first. Sometimes swaps were easy - Fight to the Death out, Black Sun's Zenith in. Beast Within in, Oblation out. Other times they just weren't swaps. I pulled Sol'kanar for Etched Monstrosity - both are 5/5s for 5 mana, but that's where the comparison ends.


If needed, I can posts reasons why I pulled something or put something in.


Here are the cards that juuuuust missed the cut:

Chaos Warp
Massacre Wurm
Thrun
Darksteel Plate
Hoard-Smelter Dragon
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
Garruk Relentless
Army of the Damned
Creeping Renaissance
Kessig Wolf Run
Stensia Bloodhall
Animar, Soul of Elements
Ghave, Guru of Spores

If you can find space for some of these great cards, then I'd be happy, but I felt i pushed it with the recent 22 in and 22 out.
