The Magistrate is definitely going in my list instead of Meddling Mage. Locks out commanders, Cascades, Muldrothas, suspend and rebound, adventure cards, and even companions if they'll be relevant. I'm hesitant about the broodmoth. It's great with ETB and with sac outlets, but plenty of our cards ha...

I actually slotted out Emeria. I've absolutely never managed to activate it, and even if I had - it would have played out as win-more to me. As an explanation, my deck's absolute worst phase is the early game, while in the late game there is no shortage of value and engines to keep it coming. Since ...

There's an Ur-Dragon player in our meta and they run both Living Death and Patriarch's Bidding, so removal that doesn't kill is very effective against them. Winds of Abandon won me the game against them. If you're running Mystic Sanctuary, it's just bad manners not to run Terminus. I'm running the c...

Field of the Dead isn't that good for us with multiple lands per turn... We'd much rather have a land come into play once each turn, which seems like an extremely niche strategy. Walking Atlas comes again to mind as probably one of the best options, but it's probably not very competitive. Overwhelmi...

That seems pretty narrow. You already have Sheoldred, Artisan of Kozilek, Mikaeus and Chainer as consistency, I don't see the benefit of slamming a bad combat trick for the sole purpose of keeping your commander alive. Wouldn't you rather have Lightning Greaves?

I bet you're really excited about the Theros Secret Lair thing. Haven't seen the Ephara art yet but it's sure to be spectacular, judging by the little I've seen so far.

Ur-Dragon also had Dragon Tempest in play which I didn't mention, so the Muse was toast anyway. I would definitely have considered some shenanigans but I didn't encounter a single tutor, which was surreal. I actually moved the SoFaF to Kykar, and to be honest I don't think it would have made too muc...

I was actually going to post a game report myself! This was a 3 player game vs The Ur-Dragon and Aurelia. Right off the bat people get pretty good mana into decent threats, while I'm stuck on 3 lands and barely get Ephara down T4. After a round has gone by I lay down 3cmc Thalia to slow the aggressi...

I'm confused by your list. The important part with Ephara is landing creatures on every single turn, otherwise I really think you're better off running another commander. Currently speaking, beyond Shimmer Myr , Leyline of Anticipation and Raff ( Vedalken Orrery is also a card), there's not much fla...

Spellseeker into mystical into sweeper (probably Terminus) is a no brainer for me against heavy aggro situations. Then later into the game I can get into Spellseeker into Winds or Rift. Energy Flux, to me, means very slow and durdly games since we can't rely on artifact ramp. Against aggro that coul...

I have absolutely nothing against nimbus maze in a deck with enough duals or basic land types. It gets worse if you have a ton of utility lands, but it's actually great otherwise.

Drift of Phantasms is already great because it fetches us both Recruiter and Displacer. I've been thinking about it for ages, I even offered the thought back in MTGS, but I think it was only right after Recruiter was slotted into the deck and you weren't keen on it. It's even possible to go: Transmu...

So I've slotted in Sword of Feast and Famine, because that card is busted. I also remember that there's Aggravated Assault to combo with it for the win, and I have both. Can we make anything happen with AA?

Milling wincons have ways to deal with Eldrazi effects. You already run Honor the Fallen, and are in white so you can run Remorseful Cleric. It's difficult to find more good grave hate that doesn't exile your own grave, like Rest in Peace or Relic of Progenitus. But they are still strong options.

Strongly recommend Meloku as was already mentioned. Great on defense, and can absolutely break a Earthcraft or Cryptolith Rite strategy (that works astoundingly well with Winter Orb). Also imagine this card with Sunder on the stack. The Simic Titan could do wonders for you. Ramps you early game and ...

The best part about the card is that it's very highly tutorable with both Muddle and Spellseeker getting it. The worst part about that card is that it's garbage. In destroying artifacts and enchantments Cleansing Nova is better, in lifegain we prefer a continue engine to a one shot play that demands...

In Ephara I have plenty of ways to utilize its value. Firstly since it's a 2 color deck, I have enough duals to ensure I can always fetch more with the card, and each dual is like a command tower. Secondly I can snap it for even more lands and cards in hand. Thirdly I have Forbid and Scroll Rack as ...

Fiery Islet and Sunbaked Canyon are actually dirt cheap compared to their real worth right now, in my opinion. Horizon Canopy was at about 60$ IIRC before the mass reprints of it. Same for the izzet filter, Cascade Bluffs. If you've looked at Mystic Gate you've seen how expensive filter lands get, a...

Another option for lifegain just popped up in Shadowspear. The card is a hatebear in itself - just add 1 Mana to any wrath to kill all indestructibles too. Mind you, this makes Hour of Revelation a risky card for us since it kills Ephara. But that might not be that bad. It's also pretty good at maki...

Altar of the Pantheon seems like a final tool to secure validity for the enchantress-lifegain build of Ephara. Fixing plus lifegain is great for that deck. I'm guessing that devotion for Azorius will be +1 in total, and not +1U +1W +1UW which ends up +4 in total. However that is still useful, especi...

Don't think so. Each player has 40 life and pegasi only spawn from enchantments which are few. This guy is nuts with both Heliods, especially the original, but on his own he seems lackluster.
Not to mention if you kill this guy his pegasi aren't lifelink anymore.

With all of Mastery of the Unseen, Primordial Most, Scroll of Fate there is an Ephara build waiting to happen. In fact I'll probably have an Ephara deck that will consist of the leftovers of the main Ephara build, and all 3 of these will be in it. However my limited experience with Mist has been pre...

So what you're saying is that you have to go through all these loops to make sure that nobody disrupts you during your combo and leaves you with nothing. Since that's your main game plan, why aren't you playing Grand Abolisher instead of a niche effect, or instead of redundancy x1000? Highly tutorab...

My suggestions are: Tyrant → Thassa Both are giant blue creatures. One costs half as much as the other and does twice as much. DTT → Nadir Nadir cares about drawing cards, so it would make sense that a card that gets around drawing cards would go out for it. Mastery → Prince I really do think this c...

My build will 100% be slotting in Cloud of Faeries. It's great on its own, it benefits greatly from EOT blink effects, and it's an infinite combo enabler in multiple ways. I will slot out for it, sadly enough, Sword of Feast and Famine, because it's very difficult to tutor for it - while my Kykar cu...
