The four missing cards are Badgermole Cub.Guacamole: terrible Badgermole food punsHere's the theory- Badgermole is ludicrous, fits perfectly with mana dorks and big payoffs, and is good on its own anyway. It also happens to fit into the Maverick model, which tries to go wide and thick and slip past spot removal and out tempo other tempo builds. So, let's throw that all together and try to max out the synergy interactions.Badgermole's synergy is a pure delight: your mana dorks tap for 2 mana, and you're running 12 (8 Hierarchs and 4 Dryad Arbors (via Zenith), so if you've got a Badgermole, you've got a dork to go with it. Thus, if you've got the Mole, you're at +2 mana from what you'd otherwise expect. Combine that with the insane mana output the deck already has and you're quite possibly looking at 4 mana turn 2. Meaning, your board could be 2 lands, Mole, dork, other 2-drop.The rest of the build takes advantage of this extra mana with some hybrid big mana payoffs that work well on their own anyway. Being able to hardcast Overlord ahead of schedule is a nice bonus, as is being able to cast 3-drops turn 2.Then you get the Phelia shenanigans in combo with the Zenith utility. Eladamri's potency is maxed out in here, as you've got 60% of the build as critters and the mana to cast them, so you can rip through the top of your deck pretty easily. Endurance and Curator hate on the grave. Kutzil shuts down control and synergizes to perfection with the Hierarchs, as your attackers get you extra material. Masked Vandal hates on artifacts/enchantments, etc. Chances are, if you've got a Zenith in this build, you can fix a problem. And if you've got Phelia, you can continue fixing problems.Feedback appreciated.

Personally, unless another obvious card comes to mind, I like to use Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made this Card to Have the Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental as a placeholder. Surprisingly though, I know what a Badgermole Cub is, and this seems like a decent shell for it. Also props for using Masked Vandal instead of Reclamation Sage I genuinely would not have remembered to do that despite only ever playing with the former in Pauper.
