I've been through many situations where I just drop Metalworker, fetch out a Staff and win the game. Currently it has helped more than it hurt, but I will keep in mind of the win-more factor.

What should I replace Slash Panther with? I need to be able to kill Jace with something that I can cast for under 5cmc, so Inkwell Leviathan is out of the picture. Etched Champion seems like it can help but its only a 2/2.

Thanks for the help guys.
