What I've been on for a while. Feel free to sub Pushes for Swords if you want more ways to kill Rector. I don't think they are that necessary and I've liked being able to handle Anglers and Marit Lages with Swords.

IMO, Starfield of Nyx just didn't ever feel needed to me, not after we got Overwhelming Splendor and Cruel Reality/Sandwurm printed. Beating fair decks used to involve Deed recursion but Splendor does such a better, simpler job. Again, opponent's don't have answers game 1, so at best it'd be a sideboard card. When were were slower and running with Groves and killable enchantment creatures (Doomwake, for instance), it felt much more necessary.

Sandwurm could be tried instead of Cruel, they cover very similar situations but I've enjoyed immediately killing Jace's with Cruel.
