Behold the Beyond
Sorcery
Discard your hand. Search your library for three cards and put those cards into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

I run a Toluz deck! Anything with transmute is a great addition (read: Dimir Infiltrator)
Also. Flux is great, as is Behold the Beyond and Approach of the Second Sun.

I have replaced Ring of Three Wishes with Behold the Beyond, which, unfortunately, did increase the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.89 to 3.92, but that increase is not as terrible as it may seem to be, since I would have needed to spend ten mana to use the ring once, and the sorcery can help to put creatures into my graveyard, for The Mimeoplasm to copy.

I have two decks that place a strong emphasis on reanimating creatures from graveyards, either my own or those of my opponents, one of which has Tariel, Reckoner of Souls as the general and the other of which has Teneb, the Harvester as the general. I currently have a copy of Ring of Three Wishes in both of those decks, but I plan to replace those copies with copies of either Behold the Beyond or Rune-Scarred Demon, but I am not certain which card to put into those decks, so I seek the advice of the other members of this forum on this subject.
Putting aside the fact that both cards allow their controller to search their library, they each work toward different strategies: BtB can potentially put creatures in my graveyard, which I could then reanimate, but the demon is, itself, a creature, which I could sacrifice (as each of those two decks contains numerous sacrifice outlets) and then reanimate. In perfect honesty, I do favor the demon, but I shall consider everyone's opinion on this subject.
What does everyone else say about this? Which card should I put in those two decks?

TypicalTimmy, my Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck needs the creature, as that deck has a minor emphasis on creatures, leaving me vulnerable when I play it, but I could use Behold the Beyond in any other deck that contains black, although I would first need to ensure that my hand is empty, since only certain decks of mine have a strong emphasis on using the graveyard as a resource. Also, I have only one deck that focuses on "flickering" creatures, and that deck does not contain the color black, so I cannot put the demon in that deck.
legendofa, any deck of mine that contains the color black will have an unconditional tutor, because I see no reason to not use such a card.
As for my other decks, I have two decks that have a strong emphasis on creatures, so I have Shared Summons in those two decks; I have a deck with a strong emphasis on instants and sorceries, so it contains Solve the Equation; this deck focuses on both creatures and instants/sorceries, so I am not certain whether to replace Ring of Three Wishes with either Shared Summons or Solve the Equation. The rest of my decks do not clearly emphasize a single card type over another, so that makes it more challenging to find a replacement for the ring in those decks.

If you're looking for a 7mv card that tutors, Behold the Beyond exists. Significantly cheaper than Ring and more valuable than Rune if you don't have a flicker / token effect in play. Same mana, 3x the value.

cool combo with famished paladin! never seen that before.
if you feel like you want to go in heavier on a 3 card combo there is always
Behold the Beyond
, which i think is pretty decent in general, but i guess ideally you would already have something like
Lightning Greaves
on the field so that you can give your paladin haste so he can tap.
cheers!

Hey man! I have some suggestions. Feel free to ignore any/all of them as you see fit:
-
I think you should include Sensei's Divining Top. It's really good at topdeck manipulation, and activating it in response to Yennett's trigger can help you find the spell you want to cast for free.
-
Brainstorm is underplayed in EDH, so I'm glad to see it in your list. I think you need more shuffle effects though before it becomes really busted. Generally people do this by including fetches and duals like Flooded Strand, but those can be very pricey for EDH. I think slow fetches like Bad River, Flood Plain and Rocky Tar Pit are also good, and merit consideration. Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse are also good options as cheaper versions of Prismatic Vista.
-
Ponder and Preordain are the other cantrips usually included in blue lists, and I highly recommend them for your list, too. Filtering your draws can let you run fewer lands, which in turn increases your hits with Yennett.
-
As mentioned in (3), I think 42 lands is too many. In general, I try to play 33-34 at most outside mono-green land-drop decks. Running artifact ramp instead of the extra few lands makes it so that you can ramp up by more than one mana each turn. That said, I strongly dislike 3-drop rocks in EDH; it's not that they're bad, it's that 2-mana drops are available and way better. The best ones are Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond, Mox Opal, Mana Vault etc. but like the fetches, these tend to be a lot of money. If you aren't allowed to use proxies (and aren't loaded af), try things like Arcane Signet, Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Hierarchy, Fellwar Stone, Everflowing Chalice, Mind Stone, Dimir Signet, Azorius Signet, Orzhov Signet... You can't cast these off Yennett triggers, but you can't cast the lands they'd be replacing either. Additionally, you don't really want to be hitting rocks off the triggers, but more things like In Garruk's Wake or Behold the Beyond.
-
Countering combo decks generally depends on your meta, but cheap counters are a good way to push the deck harder. Mental Misstep is surprisingly good (in my experience), since it can counter Sol Ring, Silence, Demonic Consultation etc. Force of Will and Force of Negation are also expensive, but the best in the business. Spell Snare is good (it counters Flash and a bunch of other combo nonsense; Spell Pierce, Swan Song, Drown in the Loch and Narset's Reversal are also good.
-
If you're looking for more permanent-based disruption, you're in the right colors. Narset, Parter of Veils is good, as is Counterbalance (especially with Sensei's Divining Top). Lavinia, Azorius Renegade is good (she nails opposing Force of Wills and ramp). So are things like Containment Priest, Aven Mindcensor, Ashiok, Dream Render... Hatebears are great.
-
Mystic Remora is a good way to draw cards and disincentivize storm players.
Right. That's all I got. I hope it helps!
