There's probably too much variance for me to draw definite conclusions, but it's nice to be able to learn even a little bit from the experience of others.
It's more like the old version with - 1 Grunt/KotWO, + 1 Spell Pierce.

I'm not a fan of the third Grunt main (he's fine in the sideboard against certain matchups) and in my opinion the deck has enough beatsticks preboard. So my idea was to find a card that a) doesn't have to be creature, b) supports the strategy and c) is blue (preferably).
Since ANT became more and more popular I chose the third Spell Pierce.

About Sphinx: Didn't have time to test it yet.

About the sideboard: Not much to say about that, it's kinda like the "standard" sideboard. The second Canonist easily trumps all the other cards I considered for the 15th slot.
