While Keysmith is useful due to its flexibility I wouldn’t consider it a core card of the deck. You could probably get away with another substitution just fine. I personally took out Acolyte of Pain to add Archmage Antonidas for the extra damage in countering Control Warriors. It combos well with Ray of Frost and adds that extra reach. I never found that I needed more draw anyways.

What is your opinion on adding Archmage Antonidas in replacement of Acolyte of Pain? I have been playing and experimenting with this kind of deck and found that I always had enough draw, whereas I often lacked the damage to counter Control Warrior’s armor gain. After adding Archmage I had a lot more success due to the easy access to more damage from comboing with Ray of Frost. Do you think this change is beneficial or harmful to the overall goal of the deck?
