GHoag I have considered Curator of Mysteries and Eligeth, Crossroads Augur before. The conclusion I drew is on 2 fronts: 1) There are better options. Rather than having 3 cards that work well together, I play 3 cards that work well independantly of each other. Because these two cards both take up sphinx slots, I think there are better sphinxes to play that make a bigger difference as soon as they hit the board. S.O to all the Sphinx cards with an ETB ability. (Speaking of doing things right when they hit the board, Consecrated Sphinx feels kind of underwhelming in this deck. I would almost rather have a cheaper sphinx that I can play more easily. A lot of times he gets removed before he can benefit you. But when he does go off it can be insane, like when an opponent plays a wheel. Because of this I have been debating subbing him for someone else.)

2) The combo depends on limited hand size. But having unlimited handsize is great for this deck for holding answers, sphinxs for next turn, and a land for next turn. The combo with curator is pretty cool, but not maximum power I think. Might be worth to take out Thought Vessel and Reliquary tower in this case, which does free a couple of other slots.

Soldevi Excavations the best scry land.

Wirewood Lodge elf utility.

In Search of Greatness similar value as Sylvan Anthem.

Artificer's Assistant you have a few legendaries and artifacts. Might be a valuable 1 drop.

Curator of Mysteries not a lot of discard in the deck but it is another potential scry engine.

The budget version was pretty fun and goofy to play but I started looking for more consistent ways to get through dungeons and win.

Necrosis24 on DePietro and Channel?

This has made me realize I’ve been reading Ghost of Ramirez DePietro wrong this entire time. I thought his trigger was tied to the player that was dealt damage.

Well anyways my top pick for a partner would be Tormod, the Desecrator for all the graveyard shenanigans (i.e Living Death) and discard value.

Some high synergy cards would be:

Looking at channel tho there seems to be a higher density in temur so you would have access to better ramp and can do wheel/card draw affects. So perhaps Tana, the Bloodsower with:

  • Rielle, the Everwise

  • Brallin, Skyshark Rider  Flip
  • The Locust God + Wheels
  • Conspiracy Theorist
  • Mizzix's Mastery + Lier, Disciple of the Drowned
  • Glint-Horn Buccaneer
  • Surly Badgersaur
    • Otherwise you can go for purate tribal in izzet with Breeches, Brazen Plunderer or monoblue with Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator

    I have been running an Unesh Tribal as my main deck for quite some time. Your guide has been wonderfully helpful since I found it two years ago and it is my #1 reference so thank you. My local meta is budget with a few high powered card here and there. I have one card for other budget Unesh players to consider. Curator of Mysteries. This Sphinx may be the most underrated sphinx of all time! Here's why - Let's say you have Curator on the battlefield and you manage to trigger Unesh 12 times but somehow you didn't get Reliquary Tower, Thought Vessel or any other "no maximum hand size cards" so at your end step you have to discard 10 cards - discarding at end of turn sucks but with Curator that's scry 10! Go and find that combo piece, counter or removal you need. And if you don't need it cycle it away for one blue. What do you have to lose?

    Horn of Greed seems like it wants the ability to play additional lands each turn, what if you had something like Curator of Mysteries in its spot? You'll be discarding to hand size from turn 5 on until you hit your combo anyway, and if you get either of your enchantments out it lets you work through your deck.

    The biggest thing you have to watch out for people killing your Laboratory Maniac right when you try to win, causing you to lose the game instead.

    Some cards to consider:

    Here's my Maniac deck, I stopped playing it: Fluctuating Maniac

    Here's a version I never made: Laboratory Maniac Consultation

    I'd probably keep Fraying Sanity and replace Curator of Mysteries instead, I feel it would do more work if you're going for a mill victory. Also, Jace's Erasure is another card along those lines
