• Putrid Infestation

A deck that recently saw a venture from the bottom of the Tierlist to the top thanks to strong new tools from GCD giving the deck a facelift, Mal'ady has seen a surge in power and isn't an unexpected addition to the SRL list. Putrid Infestation is a difficult to deal with tutor, that offers Mal'ady a ton of early game consistency and late game power. The deck still bears a lot of consistency through Putrid Infestation Sentinel, Horrix and Putrid Eruption Bloom, and will remain a powerful controlling list, but with a degree of less explosive power.

• Unstoppable Storm Surge

A Repeatable Negate that truly is Unstoppable, Storm Surge is one of the many powerful control pieces available for Gaia, which has become a much more relevant deck as of late, with much more proactive play out of Guardians' Creed. Although the Bloodbourne 10 cost of Unstoppable Storm Surge is restrictive, and this change isn't too brutal for the deck, it makes sense to rein in Gaia's reactive pieces as she steps into a much more relevant metagame position.

• Alehouse Drink - Moonshine

The second Alehouse Drink to see an SRL hit, Moonshine is a powerful engine & kill piece for Ethelhime. In the early game,  Moonshine + Skoal makes for some efficient card advantage generation, and in the late game it threatens a ton of kill power. This change shouldn't tune down Ethelhime's kill power, but will tax how quickly and often the deck can steamroll out of hand.

• The Hood Become The Resistance

A key part of Sapphire Storm, The Hood Become The Resistance is an important piece in the deck for 2 reasons. For 1, it's one of the three pieces for the decks draw engine, alongside March Of The Resistance and the titular Sapphire Amulet. Additionally, it's your main win-condition for the deck, letting you tutor copies of Ancient Relic - Sword Of Sacrifice and other Ancient Relics to the bin, and using Hood Becomes to retrieve them. This change isn't likely to be too heavy, but rather just an adjustment to an emerging archetype with powerful future potential.

• Paymon's Ceremony Of The Fallen

Demons were hit hard prior to GCD to rein in their longstanding competitive power, but with a tame performance past Creed's release we're seeing some of the checks and balances loosened slightly to give the two Warlords more breathing room.

Paymon's Ceremony Of The Fallen gives Onoskelis back some control power through healing and stealing, and helps return some of the consistency lost in her discard engine.

• Black Magic Insanity

A powerful but risky control tool for Adramelech, which couples incredibly well with his Special Ability, Black Magic Insanity's full return is understandable in combination with the hit to the deck's ability to consistently fill up both player's eradication zones. 

This change shouldn't drastically affect Adramelech's position, but it helps to loosen the restrictions on a deck which has proven to be much more docile than previous iterations.
