Update #3

After many months of not touching Ante Commander, today I have decided to update the set with cards from Khans block.  I have also tweaked some templates and added a few cards.  As always, please leave a comment.

All Decks Cut and Adds

Young Pyromancer (cut); Monastery Mentor (add)
Duress (cut); Tasigur, the Golden Fang (add)
Portent (cut); Treasure Cruise (add)
Preordain (cut); Dig Through Time (add)

All of these adds are upgrades.  I foresee Young Pyromancer making his way back in via the blue deck.  He just doesn't do enough consistently in the other decks.

Other Cuts and Adds

U Deck: Commandeer (cut); Teferi's Help (add)
R Deck: Chandra, Pyromaster (cut); Daretti, Scrap Savant (add)
R Deck: Binding Contract (cut); Warp of the Weak (add)
G Deck: Garruk Wildspeaker (cut); Ugin, the Spirit Dragon (add)
G Deck: Reclamation Sage (cut); Ojutai's Command (add)

Mostly upgrades.  Commandeer was just too blue specific.  Binding Contract did nothing or was unfairly unfun.  Here are the new designs I added:

Tereri's Help
1UU
Instant
Teferi’s Help costs 1 less if you control less than three lands.
Teferi’s Help costs U less if you control less than two lands.
Teferi’s Help costs U less if you control less than one land.
Counter target spell.

Warp of the Weak
1RR
Sorcery
Gain control of target creature with power 2 or less. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
Overload 3UU

Other Changes

Updated cards to the current mode templating.  The Rummaging Gang was missing an "Until end of turn" which was added.
