What about Grozoth? Also, be wary of Blow Your House Down.

CriticalZER0 on Grozoth Reanimator

wallisface Thanks, I used to run Lotus Bloom, but I've cut it in favor of the cantrips printed in Midnight Hunt. I've found that the velocity from Otherworldly Gaze and Faithful Mending helps with ensuring land drops. Reanimating a Grozoth also thins the deck considerably, which helps avoid dead draws as well.

PyroSwardsman on Yuriko Test

The deck is looking pretty good. I like the creature base you have chosen, there are a couple questionable creatures though. Cloudreader Sphinx seems kind of bad in this deck. If you just want a flying scryer, perhaps Sphinx of Foresight, Prognostic Sphinx, Stormwing Entity, or Siani, Eye of the Storm.

Passwall Adept is just not good enough. its too much of a resource drain. Opt is not helpful in this deck since you immediately draw the card after scrying. Cunning Evasion wont do much good I am thinking since most of your creatures wont be blocked anyway.

In my opinion, you need a few less low CMC cards and a few more high CMC that you can use to get Yuriko damage in. For cuts, I would start by looking at any creatures that cost CMC 2/3 that dont provide value other than being unblockable (Invisible Stalker, Vault Skirge (love that card btw). I would then look at replacing sorceries with instants where possible. Darksteel Pendant and Crystal Ball are not good enough in my opinion and are too much of a resource investment unless there is some sort of artifact strategy I am missing. Dimir Keyrune provides interesting utility but is inefficient. Consider Arcane Signet instead or perhaps even Dark Ritual. Thran Dynamo is fairly efficient for cost to mana provided but it seems most of your mana needs are for color. Key to the City is for yuriko after she is out I assume.. I would probably run Aqueous Form instead because it has a scry effect on attack which is pretty desirable.

Here are some cards to consider in not much particular order:

Zhalfirin Void

Moonring Island

Chromatic Orrery (high cmc and provides a lot of mana)

Mission Briefing (can add card to graveyard for delve and recast Brainstorm which is arguably one of the best cards in the deck)

Condescend

Chain of Vapor (way to return a card to hand as well as an opponents card or cards)

Archaeomancer (can get brainstorm back and can be returned to hand with ninjitsu potentially)

Harsh Scrutiny

Shrieking Drake

Archetype of Imagination

Flood of Tears (this is a pet card of mine. You can return a bunch of cheap creatures and then put out something big like a Chromatic Orrery)

Lim-Dul's Vault

Scroll Rack (spendy but so good)

Soothsaying

Spire Owl

Diabolic Vision

Index

Spy Network

Trickery Charm (does multiple things you want)

Beseech the Queen

The Magic Mirror

The Cauldron of Eternity

Deep-Sea Kraken

Avatar of Woe

Void Beckoner

Dead Drop

Tombstalker

Curse of the Cabal

Connive / Concoct

Grozoth (requires you to build around it to be worthwhile but can be good)

Scion of Darkness

Treasure Cruise

Baral's Expertise

Jarad's Orders

Grozoth might be fun in this too

Contingency Plan

Agent of Treachery feels like a win more card.

A sac outlet for when mimeoplasm dies probably an alter.

also why no green ramp? Also don't you hate planeswalkers for being slow?

carpecanum on Raid with Braids

I would stop worrying until you've played it a few times. If you can't counter or remove all the threats the other guys will have to. Braids is pretty group hug and you will need the opponents to take themselves out.

Big things will be hitting the board and going away so Mimic Vat could be huge, especially if you manage to get Braids in it. Pop her out on your turn when you have something to drop and then she goes away so only you get the benefit.

Illusionist's Gambit and Reins of Power are great for heavy board states. Use all of one guys creatures to attack a different guy. Maybe Clone Legion or Mind's Dilation

Agent of Treachery seems expensive in every way and other cards do the same thing. Grozoth seems to be a waste.

This has been extremely helpful for building my own Jhoira deck! May I suggest The Magic Mirror for this deck? It fits a little better in my version where I run Grozoth but I think you will still find it useful!

Cool deck +1 One of my favorite combos in Jodah decks is running Grozoth to tutor up all your 9 drops, and then dropping Myojin of Life's Web to play out all of said 9 drops. Thoughts?
