This is my current framework. Very solid, very consistent.
But there's a huge problem called "rotation" in the way. A great deal of this consistency comes from Puzzle of Time, the only card in there that kisses Standard goodbye in a couple of weeks.

I'd love opinions on what to "replace" them with (because they're irreplaceable, really) to keep the deck going strong. My first choice would be an extra Pal Pad, 2 Wish Tablet and a tie-breaker between a 3rd Shrine or a 2nd Pan. But I'd love to hear some opinions (maybe something new I'm missing).

Have at it, bois.

(If need be, I can explain some of the more unorthodox choices as I understand that the framework may not be obvious)
 
I hope that card never gets printed again. Stevens Resolve is also pretty insane, so its no surprise you like PoT. Effects like that are moving to 1 per game GX attacks if you've noticed some of the cards that have similar effects. Ie: Gardy-GX, Decidueye-GX, Banette-GX. The only thing thats got similar effects right now don't cater to steel and thats Diantha, Crasher Wake, Lusamine, and, Pal Pad as the only good item, but only grabs supports. List looks solid, but grabbing resources from the discard is getting harder as we go here.
 
which beldum from CST are you using? The retreat one or the one with 70hp?

3 retreat, 1 70hp

Yeah, I'm not even complaining, it has to go. Just looking for something to maintain an acceptable level of consistency.
