Arkren here's what I'd envision for possible adjustments (and group discussion): -1 Nim Deathmantle +1 Chrome Mox / Mox Opal / Mana Crypt If I could afford to make this swap, I would. I personally shy away from paying ND's cost that it's just become a card I don't enjoy playing. I'd much rather be ...

With the recent spoiling of Disciple of the Vault in Double Masters and the MASSIVE emphasis on artifacts in that set, plus some potential Jumpstart goodies, is it worth talking about potential additions? Chrome Mox : Mana > Hand in this deck. Mox Opal and Mana Crypt : if we can afford them, they're...

i think that slurms is into something here... olivia is a good card, but apart from the flying she is textless unless you are willing and able to discard cards from your hand, chainer is haste for everything except tokens for free. olivia gives +1/+1 to certain creatures that maybe need it, but is ...

I still think Chainer, Nightmare Adept [/card] is better than Olivia, Mobilized for War because even if we can only discard a card once each turn, every nontoken crature we flip instantly gets haste. With Olivia i often found myself without cards to discard. I also think that people tend to overloo...

Dungeon homies - are we gonna playtest Obosh? I don't think I've used a damage doubler yet and while it might be a "win more" card if we end up with a few damage dealers, or could expedite the win

Thanks for your input, ego ! I'm always willing to hear opposing arguments to my philosophy. I would retort that I really haven't had an issue with needing to draw cards in my 2.5 years of playing the deck. The amount of non-land ramp we have alongside the land base has always provided me enough ma...

Awesome, thanks for the in-depth responses! I've been running this deck at ~85% completion (missing Imperial Recruiter , Dockside Extortionist , and a few of the more expensive lands). Had you considered discard payoffs like Olivia, Mobilized for War or Skirge Familiar ? It feels like this deck is h...

Any update on whether Phyrexian Arena will make the cut?

Also - what would you say the power level is of this deck?

Thanks for the responses! Was Conjurer's Bauble omitted because of its relatively low power level? I feel like in this build it's got functionality at all stages of the game. I know you previously mentioned/took out Chainer, Nightmare Adept - can you talk more about when it didn't perform well? The ...

These lists look great! Between Slide and Miracles, is Slide more budget-friendly? I'd love to build one of these but am working with fairly limited resources. Understood that Scroll Rack and Sensei's Divining Top are auto-includes, I'll have to save up for them, but if there's other reasonable budg...

How do you feel about Anax, Hardened in the Forge? It feels like it could be SUPER versatile in this build (sac generator, board presence, blocker for big stompies) and can be pulled out by Grenzo, right? The problem with Anax is that his power is defined in all zones, so he isn't a consistent flip...

I'm so excited to be building this as my first paper EDH deck! Wow Strider definitely slots in nicely here. A few questions: Did having more scry lands slow down the deck too much? I know the early game is crucial, though I figured the scry and setting up the bottom could be really valuable. How do ...
