Anything change?

Alot of new cards and some returning mechanics came out of this set but has it changed much?  There are really only 2 cards that have seen some play from this set.  One has affected a single card in cheat decks. The other has been more casual change and test. . 

Atraxa, Grand Unifier has been slotted in any deck that runs Griselbrand.  So this has been seen in decks that cheat out big creatures. Decks such as Reanimator, Sneak and Show, Onmitell and decks that run Natural order that are not elves. Digging 3 cards deeper and card selection seems to be the better choice in the draw engine. This also doesn’t cost the life to see the cards.

This card has seen some play in combo decks and dreadnaught decks. Being able copy a Lion’s Eye Diamond for free is pretty good. This also copying a Dreadnaught makes it so you don’t have to sacrifice a creature as its already in play.  Not really game breaking but fun card. 

With the new Toxic mechanic and poison making a comeback in this set there has not been much movement or really any cards that compliment the classic Infect shell. So it looks like the set did nothing much for the deck.
