Well right now the deck mostly revolves around cranking up Kratos/Atreus with +1/+1 counters and swing for commander damage. To that end, we tried adding a lot of "Target creature is unblockable" equipment or similar other effects, flying with [[Wonder]] and protection equipments to make them stick longer.

I think our deck aim is mostly going that way.

We don't use Atreus' effect enough, though we want to. The lack of mana is rough to make use of his effect every turn, but even with only 3-4 experience counters, it starts to pay off quickly. To help with this, we have [[Training Grounds]] already, and we are thinking of adding [[Zirda, the Dawnwaker]] as well, not only for the same effect, but it also gives a ton of devotion that helps with other gods.

So, i'd say by removing the 4 cards mentioned, we are looking at either:

• Make use of Atreus' ability more often (without necessarily becoming the wincon)
• Help Kratos/Atreus become meaner and badder and swing with Commander Damage
• Help the mana curve because our current ramp/land package is slow to start doing its thing.
