Affinity relies on a creature swarm (Glint Hawk, Kor Skyfisher, Refurbished Familiar) alongside key artifacts, and Cast into the Fire's mode to deal 1 damage to two target creatures picks off many of their 1-toughness threats, or the exile-an-artifact mode can hit a key piece like Utrom Monitor's enabler or Cryogen Relic. End the Festivities also sweeps their 1-toughness creatures like Baleful Strix and Refurbished Familiar for free. We cut the clunkier Inventor's Axe since we don't want to overextend into their removal like Dispatch, and trim Chain Lightning since these new cards answer their board better. Keep our core engine intact to keep racing.
