SYlvan Caryatid is to help at the awkward 2 mana stage, when you don't want to commit into a crop/repeal but you need/want to advance the board state versus a persistent deck archetype (Jund/DnT/Tempo/Midrange). I was looking for a fog card, and Sylvan Caryatid allows this fog to be MD while advancing the kill, something no other fogs do. Caryatid is everything I wanted DRS to be back when I added it, regular mana that blocked annoying things and bought you time.
It also allows for playing a turn 3 Show & tell with daze mana, and blocks thalia all day.
My two most recent tourny loses were to DnT and Rug, so this reflects a potential weakness. Revoker is making me more and more confident in my combo matchup, which I once dreaded terribly.
Savage Summoning into Sylvan Caryatid is easily one of the strongest reactive plays this version of the deck has into an attacking mongoose/bob/thalia.
