Morphling is now a flying Hill Giant with shroud (unless they find a way to take that away too).

Meloku is looking like a possible option but it dies to removal.

I feel 2x Call the Skybreaker couldn't possibly be the best option.

The question is, with the win-conditions not being bombs anymore and Alara Reborn having Qasali Pridemage, is this deck even viable anymore?

I'm pretty unhappy about the combat changes, myself, but when you drop your creature in mono blue, doesn't that usually signify that the game is over for the other guy anyways? Still, I'm really dissapointed, because the Efreet has been my kill in my muc with quite a bit of success lately.
