This will sound silly, but since you don’t have 8gates to replace, I really think Mana Vortex could see some viable play.
-Works with spiral for finisher
-Works with lantern fox for when you have multiple PFs
-Works with loreweaver where if you draw one, you can either use both, or use one and then replace the original in hopes to draw again.
-Could help against rush decks as it lowers your curve on an “as-need” basis.
Interesting and adds to the memeyness, but it could possibly work.
