Balaam__ in response to your subject of Avoid Fate:

• Guttural Response

And if you use Birds of Paradise as your dork, which would be optimal, you could use the following:

• Pyroblast
• Red Elemental Blast

Imo, I'd use Guttural but I'd thought to mention a few options!

Great stuff, this. You totally beat me to the punch with Faerie Trickery; I had the faintest of recollections that card existed, but when I did a search I must have missed flagging a parameter—it never came up. Not as big a deal for your build as you have access to {U}, but I was in dire need of some form of countermagic and Avoid Fate just wasn’t cutting it. I tip my hat and doff my cap to you.

I like that! I think I'll take out Kodama, since it's a card that makes you win more, as opposed to a card that makes you win...

I think instead of Avoid Fate, however, I'd go with Autumn's Veil.

Thanks for the contribution!

Have you considered Avoid Fate for additional protection against interruptions during your combo turn?

I find that I can always find a slot in my green decks for Avoid Fate. Any chance to protect your permanents at instant speed is a win for me.

Avoid Fate is a super spicy surprise for anyone trying to take out Kamahal. Awesome deck!!

That’s fair enough. If this is tailor made for your particular playgroup, nothing wrong with that. Some interactivity might make things a bit more fun while you wait though. Maybe something like Avoid Fate? It’ll give you something to do while waiting to set up, and can preserve your boardstate after you’ve built it—and all in mono .

I'd love to see more cards like Dash Hopes and Rebuff the Wicked, maybe even Dawn Charm, Avoid Fate, Tibalt's Trickery (that says opponent's spell), etc. too.
