Thanks for doing another episode. Much appreciated.

I have been playing something close to your 4 mentor list since you released it just before GP Prague.

Would have loved to hear a bit more about the updates to the list. Specifically I'm wondering about:

Preordain: I'm worried about increased vulnerability to Chalice. Was this an issue? I'm not in love with Predict, but would feel better with some sort of two mana cantrip or other CA source. I DO experience running out of cantrip gas a little too often, so the added 1cmc seem attractive, I get that.
Sudden Shock: Anti-Mentor & Mom tech I suppose. Evaluation? Worth the slot? In the mirror, will your opponent not often default to leaving a 2 on top?
I also see it being great against the Legends build, where Karakas tricks are a huge pain.
Only 2 REB effects in the board? You were advocating 4 quite strongly earlier this year. What changed? I don't see my self registering less than 3 in an open meta.

I think I would reduce the Volcanic count to one for an additional Island, and possibly change one Arid Mesa to a Karakas as RB reanimator seems to be all the rage at the moment.
Arid Mesa not being able to get basic Island tends to be a Liability. I realise that Karakas isn't exactly an upgrade in that regard, but anti Teeg & Thalia duty also comes up.
