4 Lyra

seems like a lot because it's unique. No agent Rex? Maybe just one? I'd go -2 Lyra

, -2 lily,-3 puwen, -2 dagger of unmaking +1 Rex +1, +2 Champion of Irum

, +2treasured heirloom / tainted oracle / honored dead, +4 fan of blades

At this point you might as well swap out at least 1 Nightshade

for Rex since their stats are the same now (rex used to have only 1 health right?) so the only disadvantage to rex is being unique and if you carry exactly 1 then he is simply better than NS with no draw back.

Rex doesn't have ambush - so he can finish off guys, but he can't ping them down by himself. His ability makes him reusable, but ideally you want him early game to take out the draw engine, so they're really different functions. I think Rex is by far better than nightshade in most situations though.

The problems I've had with Serena

come from rushes. Rushes in DP are much stronger than they used to be, since there are several new and tough to deal with cheap allies. Fan of blades is a good mid-game counter to this, combined with cards like black garb. CoI is also a nice t2 drop to counter this. Night owl seems good in a lot of ways, but he is also fairly situational. For example, he is nearly useless vs an eladwin rush...passing up a black garb to take out one ally and draw a card (since he'll get burned by eladwen after coming out).
