• Replace 3 Krenko's Command and 1 Dragon Fodder with 4 Rally at the Hornburg. Those tokens have haste, unlike the original, making them a superior choice.
• Replace the 3 Goblin Instigator with 3 Forbidden Friendship. One of those tokens has haste, making them a superior choice. Also you prefer 2 tokens rather than a create plus token, since you play an Intangible Virtue.
• Replace 1 Resolute Reinforcements with the 4th Raise the Alarm. As mentioned, since you play Intangible Virtue, you prefer tokens.
• Your deck plays no 3 drops. That's a mistake - 3 drops are more powerful than 2 drops, and since you have nothing better to play on your third turn, you want to convert a few 2 drops to a 3 drop. Otherwise you just waste 1 mana and play a lower-power spell. Remove the last 2 Resolute Reinforcements and the last 2 Dragon Fodder and add 4 Hordeling Outburst.
• Sacred Fire is not that good. Remove them and just play 4 Lightning Helix.
• Firemane Angel is way too expensive and you can ignore the abilities that work only in the graveyard. Replace it with a Nobilis of War.

I wish the effects were at least similarly powerful. It's true, it's all free value on cards that you need in your deck, but can draw too many of... But the green Assassin's Trophy knockoff and the red Forbidden Friendship knockoff are comparable on no axis.

They do make bouncelands better, but can't be fetched, not even by a Cultivate. And I agree with Omniscience_is_life that there's plenty of nonbasic land hate in the format. I love seeing people die to their greedy mana bases when I play a Primal Order.

I do fear escalation though. If too many powerful effects like these exist, the answer would be more Stifles, which would push blue ahead of other colors once again.

Giver of Runes can at least protect your creatures from Colorless, if these really run rampant in your meta.

Arguably, Forbidden Friendship is a tiny bit better than Dragon Fodder

I just remembered about Forbidden Friendship. It has good synergy with Of One Mind. I replaced the Shocks for that card.

As for board wipes, you could cut the Quasiduplicates for a couple counterspells, maybe even a Saheeli. But you could always have them in the side for when those matches come up.

If I have Lutri, the Spellchaser on the battlefield and I play Mystic Reflection into Forbidden Friendship, Is Forbidden Friendship still on the stack when the token enters the battlefield as a copy of lutri and can I copy the friendship?

Forbidden Friendship is among my favorite flavor cards from Ikoria, which I didn't generally like the flavor of as a set, personally.

I think Sagas are an easy place to express flav or and love using different tokens for that.

Aurelia's Conscription

Enchantment - Saga

: Create a 1/1 Goblin Soldier token with haste.

: Create a 2/2 Knight token with vigilance.

: For each Soldier token you control, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it gains first strike until end of turn. For each Knight token you control, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it gains indestructible until end of turn.

I think this shows the first round of conscripts, the second round, and then their training.

I'd like to see another guild's saga, depicting anything that guild would do.

BrassLord, that's a good suggestion. I had tried Call of the Death-Dweller in an earlier version of the list that had more Forbidden Friendship s and that didn't work so well, but I think it could be good to go back to it here. I'll report back once I get myself back up to Mythic and start testing this thing again.
