Woah, this is harder than I thought. There's definitely a difference between one's top 10 favorites and an objectively "best" or even "good/powerful" top 10. With that in mind, and in no particular order. . . Mirrorweave - I guess I'll turn my swarm of tokens into Grave Titan s. ...

Just saw that this got Primer status. Congrats! It's obvious to anyone who's paid any attention in a variety of threads that you really put your heart and soul into this deck and thinking through changeling tribal in general. Well-deserved. I also noticed you included my General Tazri take. I really...

This card looks good, but I always found it surprisingly meh. I usually had better options than cycling it, and it was rare that I couldn't Sunforger up something more impactful. It's definitely a low ceiling card that does what you need it to in a tight spot (and instant speed is great), but there'...

Nice changes. I am not sure if the interaction between Cleansing Wildfire and Cascading Cataracts and Flagstones of Trokair is enough to warrant the inclusion of either Cataracts or Wildfire, especially with the addition of Archaeomancer's Map taking 2 basics out of your library (potentially). I wi...

Alrighty. That's a wrap for C21 spoilers. So here's where the dust settles for me: [br] IN (16) 1 First Day of Class 1 Expressive Iteration 1 Lorehold Command 1 Prismari Command 1 Solve the Equation 1 Cascading Cataracts 1 Flagstones of Trokair 1 Cleansing Wildfire 1 Mirror Entity 1 Veyran, Voice of...

I think we agree on a lot here. The only real "disagreements" - I'm more hyped on Perplexing Test and Lorehold Command than you are. At first I was like "whyyyyy doesn't wizard like these as much?", but you make a good point that you aren't really looking to swarm the same way I ...

Well, I discovered a new combo in a game today. It's a really obvious one and to be honest I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't notice it sooner. Funny thing is it centers around two cards I'm getting ready to cut, which is just as well since I'm not looking to be a dedicated combo deck. With Soulfire G...

This has probably been one of the hardest decks I've ever brewed around before I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!?!?! Codie had me spinning in circles. I ended up settling on building around high impact 7 cmc spells, then freerolling the 6 cmc reanimation spells. Then that shifted to all in on Living Death / Living...

I didn't mention Archaeomancer's Map in the above posts, and I think that was a mistake. The more I consider it, I think it's pretty great since the deck draws so well and excess lands in hand aren't uncommon. The issues I have with it are: - What to cut for it? Maybe Land Tax to exchange fixing and...

I do think it's a great card nonetheless. I mean, when's the last time you played a game where there were 0 creature decks? So, the floor is you'll almost always get some fatty or value critter for way below rate. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was using it against the Gishath, Sun's Ava...

Kykar is hyped for Perplexing Test! Plenty of good stuff in the prismari deck too.

Well, I wasn't expecting an asymmetrical, instant speed board wipe that dodges some commander tax, but I'll definitely take it. I love me some Hour of Reckoning, but I think this will be an easy swap.

I had a good look at the spoiled C21 cards to see what else might be worth including alongside Veyran, Voice of Duality . I suppose the Simic or Orzhov deck may contribute something too, but here are my standouts from the izzet/Boros lists: Reinterpret is a spicy Sunforger target with great blowout ...

Veyran, Voice of Duality [Br] Well, there's my Talrand, Sky Summoner replacement. The only downsides are that I must have kykar or another mentor in play for veyran to be meaningful and it only triggers on instant/sorcery spells, but that's kind of the plan. If I owned Sakashima of a Thousand Faces...

Ah, makes sense. I get that Mesmeric Orb has some merit on its own, but what else is alchemist doing other than being a creature and untapping another dude 1x a turn? Even if the answer is "nothing", I still see why orb/alchemist is better.

I've been meaning to peek at your list since I recently put together Sidisi. I won a game quite decisively with Blood Artist / Zulaport Cutthroat + Carrion Feeder , so my zombie aristocrat dredge/ Worm Harvest approach worked, but I think that's mostly because I got lucky with an early Extractor Dem...

Strixhaven Update [br] Alrighty, time to look at the new set closely - and it was a good set for us spellslingers. I've already touched on a lot of the cards that caught my eye, but here are my official choices for cards I am going to test and a list of honorable mentions that I might try someday. ...

So I took onering 's feedback into consideration and tinkered around with this more. I kept the dredge and even added some more, but adopted the big cyclers and LD/LE plan. I think it could be sweet, but I am concerned about how light it is on interaction. I'll pretty it up and update the OP tomorro...

Living Death and Living End can replace all the reanimator spells. Replace the rummagers and the rest of the free roll spells with cyclers and Ethereal Usher and Netherborn Phalanx to tutor 6 drop spells to cast to free roll Living Death/End, and Grozoth to tutor Blasphemous Act to do the same. Hel...

Yes I can officially say I'm down the rabbit hole as we speak. Wish me luck!

It was quite a deep one for me, and I have a feeling I ended up in a weird place with the list. Not necessarily good, just weird. Still looking forward to trying it. I'm interested to see where you land.

Leonin Lightscribe is fun right? Prowess as an anthem That is certainly a more competitive rate than Strongarm Monk , Soulblade Djinn , or Goldnight Commander , making it the best creature based option for this type of pump effect that goes off with kykar + spells (MUST be instants/sorceries though...

Cleansing Wildfire / Geomancer's Gambit can target Cascading Cataracts, Darksteel Citadel, and Flagstones of Trokair to give me ramp and cantrip but they can also serve to answer big target lands like an opponents Cabal Coffers. ...How have I never known about this? That's smooth dude. Thanks for h...

Yep, it works just fine with sacrificing tokens. They can be exiled and, even though they cease to exist pretty quickly, they will still get you a shiny new token. Sweet. I wasn't sure how replacement effects work with sacrifice vs LTB/die vs graveyard vs exile, etc etc. I still hesitate because, w...
