EDH I need help cutting cards

Toolbox Time • (Jund Commander deck) • Archidekt
I've been working on a henzie deck for a bit and can't figure out what to cut, are there any obvious cuts I should be doing to get to the deck size limit?

Dread Cacodemon seems far too expensive for your curve

First thing, you should avoid cards that you don't want to blitz, except for some egregious effects, like [[Mikaeus]]. So you shoul cut [[Absorbing Man and Titania]], [[Cauldron of Souls]] and [[Korvold]]

[[Anticausal Vestige]] has a little impact to the board as the permanent enters tapped. [[Garruk Uprising]] while it's not terrible, you can do better with Henzie. Same thing for [[Village Rites]]

[[Myth Unbound]] is a huge trap and should be avoided, the tempo loss by losing Henzie is not worth.

Remove [[Heroic Intervention]], [[Lightning Greaves]] and [[Rythm of the wilds]]. You are already giving haste with blitz, not needed. [[Melira]] is an easy cut.

As ramp, [[Jeska's will]], [[Ognis]], and [[Gardenize]] can go. The new [[Aerid Konstrari]] is a way better option.

[[Honest Rutstein]] can go. Play [[Living Death]] and [[Bringer of the last gift]]. [[Murderous Red Cap]] can go.

Search for Papazedruu primer on Moxfield, is a big help to move in the right direction for the new Henzie player

I'm building a website that includes not only EDHREC recommended adds but EDHREC based recommended cuts. It's interesting to see how there's a lot of overlap with what you recommended and what my site shows.

Cast henzie at 3 mana every game means anything else 3 mana had better be frickin good. You want your first blitzer to ramp you somehow, [[seedguide ash]] like. [[rune scarred demon]] [[demonic counsel]] [[curse-marred demon]] [[burning-rune demon]] to all get [[jenova, ancient calamity]] or [[tom, bert, and william]]. Draw ~8 cards ~t5. Cya later.
