I need cuts for an upsettingly strong meme deck.

{"ops":[{"insert":"This has been my pet project for a couple of weeks now, and I'm really struggling with the last few cuts. Changelings are a must, though I'm not sure where the critical mass lies, and my balance of removal and protection seems a tad light. If you have replacement ideas for anything else, let me know, but mostly I need to make painful choices.\n"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/13979788/cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/13979788/cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and_cid_and"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

So then you're paying... 6 mana for one shapeshifter, 8 mana for two?

{"ops":[{"insert":"I appreciate the feedback! Agreed that Arsenal is probably too cute. Nexus is good explicitly because it turns Cid himself into a Hero, so each Cid becomes a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Coat of Arms"}},{"insert":". I'm a bit loathe to cut any changelings, but harvester is definitely the worst on rate. Good point in that Augmenter's servos don't have evasion, so it's not as good at producing bodies. As to Planisphere, just attaching it to a random thopter gives way more potential power considering it constantly grows.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Crib Swap and Forsake play critical roles as a changeling and a cycler, respectively, though your point is good that more permanent forms of removal are pretty important.\n"}]}
