Emergency Powers

Instant

Each player shuffles their hand and graveyard into their library, then draws seven cards. Exile Emergency Powers.

Addendum — If you cast this spell during your main phase, you may put a permanent card with converted mana cost 7 or less from your hand onto the battlefield.

Both - it is good in standard with other jank cards like Emergency Powers and it is incredibly good EDH staple for white. It is basically the white Rhystic Study .

For some reason I can't comment on the deck page (probably wrong browser) so I'll say it here.

Your deck, Narset's Emergency Friends. Could you PLEASE find room for Interplanar Beacon ??? I just lost my ass off because chromatic lantern kept getting blown up, then late I'm stuck with Nicol Bolas in hand ready to murder the guy and can't cast him. While I'm digging for lantern #4 he gets control and wipes me out.

Also, a third Emergency Powers would be nice. Maybe not necessary, but definitely the land.

God-Eternal Kefnet seems like it could be really good here too, especially if you end up topdecking Emergency Powers .

Thanks K1ngMars for the advice. I also think I am a bit lacking in card draw. These seem like good options. The one question I am wondering is if I should be aiming for instant speed draw cards or if Sorceries fit the deck.

Also, with cards like Emergency Powers and Game Plan that give your opponents a new hand, is it to risky or are they worth the effect?

Don't get put down by the fact that everything has to be historic. Here are some useful draw engines and cards that go well with them:

• Archmage Ascension
• Distant Memories
• Plea for Power
• Emergency Powers
• Time Reversal
• Day's Undoing
• Game Plan

Brainstorm , and Ponder are good effects but you have better options for draws. top deck manipulation also isn't that important for this deck. Why Emergency Powers the pay off isn't that good and it's expensive to cast. You could use some more Counterspell s, Negate , Mana Tithe ;), Dispel , etc. Laboratory Maniac is wincon with BSZ. Why no Teferi, Hero of Dominaria or Teferi, Time Raveler . Looks solid so far.

With all the wheels you’re playing, consider:

Consecrated Sphinx

Alms Collector

Additionally there is

Emergency Powers

Diminishing Returns

As additional wheel effects. And with all the cards you’re putting in the bin Treasure Cruise may be an effective draw spell.

As a finisher, rather than Banefire consider Expansion / Explosion as a way to draw additional cards, and, if you find that you are able to get through the entire deck, perhaps Labratory Maniac.

Pillowfort/Taxation:

• Smothering Tithe - A great 'pay to play' card, and you'll ramp like crazy if they don't.

• Rhystic Study - If they don't pay, you draw... they'll pay.

• Propaganda - Makes attacking you that much harder. Is a blue Ghostly Prison .

Thievery:

• Thief of Sanity - Thievery + some mill, all in a nice evasion package.

• Mnemonic Betrayal - This is just too good, cherry pick all your opponent's best spells they've played.

• Desertion - Counter the threat, get the threat.

• Paradox Haze - Double up on your commander's ability.

Control:

• Emergency Powers - Great for resetting what is in someone's hand or your own. Addendum is gravy on top if you have nothing else to play during your main.

• Supreme Verdict - Just a great wrath spell.

• Render Silent - This card is just mean... Counterspell + Silence .

• Rewind - Counter and keep the mana open.

• Unwind - Sure it only works for noncreature spells, but there will be plenty of those around.

• Wrath of God - The original.

• Evacuation

Mana Fixing:

• Celestial Dawn - Makes casting opponent's spells with your commander just too easy.

• Cascading Cataracts - Indestructible color fixing.

• Dimir Signet

• Azorius Signet

• Commander's Sphere

• Obelisk of Esper

• Coalition Relic

• Revel in Riches - Mana fixing + a win-con if you get lucky.

The Rest:

• Lightning Greaves - Protect what matters most.

• Swiftfoot Boots - More protection.

• Sun Titan - This guy is a beast, sometimes he'll only do a small bit, other times he's your golden boy. Cool little combo: Use Mirage Mirror to copy a sacrifice artifact like Mindslaver , use the sacrifice of the copied card, then bring Mirage Mirror back with the titan.

• Paradox Engine - Use artifacts to pay for spells, then untap them to pay for more.

• Darksteel Forge - With all your artifacts you're running, this lets you play your wraths without any fear.

---

Cards to consider ousting:

• Blood Baron of Vizkopa - It's good, but won't be active all that much as a 10/10.

• Deadeye Plunderers - Lackluster.

• Dinrova Horror

• Identity Thief

• Merieke Ri Berit - Without a way to abuse untapping her she can under perform.

• Nightveil Predator - Doesn't do as much for you as it could.

• Odric, Lunarch Marshal - You're not strictly a combat deck.

• Spell Queller - I like this card, but in commander it's just too fragile.

• Traxos, Scourge of Kroog - He's not horrid.

• Walking Ballista - Just not got for this deck.

• Wrexial, the Risen Deep - Too slow, by this point you should be focusing on control with your commander.

• Displacement Wave - You're putting in better.

• Mind's Desire - You're just not build for this card.

• Tezzeret's Betrayal

• Tezzeret, Master of Metal

• Illusory Gains - Really depends on your play group.

• Metamorphic Alteration

• Tezzeret's Touch

• Dimir Locket - The signet is better.

• Condescend

• Esper Charm

• Misdirection

• Silumgar's Command
