Knowledge and Power

Enchantment

Whenever you scry, you may pay {2}. If you do, Knowledge and Power deals 2 damage to target creature or player.

I tried building around Knowledge and Power before and personally just couldn't make it work... any game i won it was despite playing knowledge and power rather than because of it.... im really jaded about that card lol.

I think if you want scry to be the payoff mechanic of the deck then going more in an Izzet blitz route with Sigiled Skink and Flamespeaker Adept and Opt / Titan's Strength would be the way to go..... otherwise i'd say trade out Mystic Speculation and knowledge and power for just about anything else like a Crackling Drake or something similar.

Temple of Astonishing Disillusion

Land

: Add .

,: Add one mana of any color a land an opponent controls could produce.

When Temple of Astonishing Disillusion enters the battlefield, each player scrys 2, then shuffles their library.


I am not sure how you build this to your advantage, since the scrying is cancelled out by the shuffling. On the one hand, there are cards that take advantage of scry (Flamespeaker Adept, Knowledge and Power, etc.). On the other hand, there are cards that like it when libraries are shuffled (Cosi's Trickster and Psychic Surgery, etc.). But all told, neither of those are particularly strong or build-around mechanics.

Do the challenge mentioned above

BahamutPRME on Casual Greek Deck

So I'm trying to make a deck for my friend for his birthday and he likes Greek Mythology, specifically Poseidon, Hades, and Zues in this order. I'm wanting to stay in the Theros block and have 3 deck ideas but I need some advice and criticism because I don't want to make him a weak deck.

Here are what I've made:

The first one is using Heliod because I made this first and forgot there is a god that looks like zues but in MTG Heliod is the "Leader" or Highest ranking or whatever.

The second one is using Keranos and white humans so its 4 colors instead of 3.

The third one is sticking to the block and theme but also sticking to heroic and scry.

I have always been bad about including a safe amount of land in my decks so that is something i really need help with. I also wasn't sure if this was the best way to show the decks or if i should've just copy and pasted each text.

Thank you!

Greek Deck 1

Greek Deck 2

Greek Deck 3

Sorry for the long post. Wasn't sure how to do this.

Missing from the above post, because the linking broke:

"Whenever you scry" has only ever been used on two Theros cards. Flamespeaker Adept and Knowledge and Power .

I'd say "build around me" enchantments like Goblinslide Knowledge and Power and Quiet Contemplation... On the surface it's like "oh yeah I'm gonna wreak shop with this" but ultimately is just too mana intensive.

Whenever you scry and put one or more cards on the bottom of your library, create a 1/1 Illusion creature token.

Whenever you scry and put one or more cards on top of your library, draw a card.

1/4

you could go the route of making nissa as big as possible, then dropping a huge creature every turn. that would entail eldrazi's and a lot of mana ramping.

a second option would be to try and scry as often as possible. that way you can turn your deck into a very specific combo deck with intricate interactions that you can replicate relatively consistently. i didn't quite filter for color, but here are some suggestions to get your mind going: Aqueous Form Battlewise Hoplite Catacomb Sifter Contraband Kingpin Curator of Mysteries Eyes of the Watcher Flamespeaker Adept Jace's Sanctum Knowledge and Power Lifecrafter's Bestiary Prescient Chimera Prognostic Sphinx Retreat to Coralhelm
