Pulse of the Grid

Instant

Draw two cards, then discard a card. Then if an opponent has more cards in hand than you, return Pulse of the Grid to its owner's hand.

I know that you aim to out-draw everyone at the table, but Pulse of the Grid might get a couple of uses before it finally hits your graveyard.

Cool deck! Locust God is no joke. One of my friends used to play a Locust God deck in our meta.

This is a kind of silly suggestion, but I'd recommend checking out Cerebral Vortex. I currently run it in my Anhelo, the Painter deck since I have various copy effects. It can be used for yourself as a last resort, or it can burn someone that you've been hitting with wheel effects. Additionally, Pulse of the Grid might be worth a look. I also run it in Anhelo for the potential return to hand capability, but figured it could get some mileage here as well.

I know creature slots are a premium in spell-slinger decks, but have you considered either Witty Roastmaster or Hellrider to help round out your Impact Tremors effects? In a weird parallel, my Isshin deck is also token focused, and have found some fun success in running a few more group slug or damage effects in addition to the Purphoros and Impact Tremors we both run in our 99s.

I've really liked Pulse of the Grid in my Anhelo, the Painter deck. I was able to copy it and return it to hand about 2-3 times in a couple of games. I think it certainly has a place in any Blue decks that also want to play with their graveyards or have a discard subtheme.

I'm going to be testing out Cerebral Vortex in place of Pulse of the Grid, in Anhelo pretty soon. The potential to draw 2, take 2 damage, or draw 4, take 6 damage in a pinch seems okay, especially when people play stuff like Stinging Study. I am also interested in Cerebral Vortex's potential to punish an opponent for digging deep on draws, especially if copied. I have a certain Wheeling Xyris, the Writhing Storm deck in my meta in mind for this scenario

No prob Jett2112! I've been having fun with its cycle counterpart Pulse of the Grid in my Anhelo, the Painter deck. It utilizes burn spells to copy for damage, so I've also been looking for spot for Pulse of the Forge there too lol

I highly recommend Pulse of the Grid and Bloodghast. I recognize that Bloodghast can be a bit of a pricey upgrade, but it did A LOT of work for me in some games with my Anhelo deck this past weekend. I was able to recur it at least 5-6 times throughout the course of the game.

Similarly, Pulse of the Grid helped me filter through draws and filter out extra land drops to my graveyard to use as Escape fodder for Underworld Breach. I think I cast Pulse of the Grid about 2-3 times, and copied it at least once, but was able to recur it back to hand from its own text on most of those casts. I was impressed with it.

Because Isochron Scepter casts a copy, the resolving spell changing zones has no impact in the original card which stays exiled and imprinted on Isochron Scepter . The same is true if you exile Treasured Find to Panoptic Mirror or Eye of the Storm , as well as if you use a spell like Seasons Past or Pulse of the Grid that would go somewhere other than exile or the graveyard.

Is it the manta ray? I bet its the manta ray ^_^

...if not then Pilgrim's Eye??

I've been running all the 1 cmc instant/ sorceries that target permanents just so I can consistently clone lands. All these fat payoffs like the sphinxes are fun when I can dump my hand and copy 5/5s while also wheeling my deck... Though I'm not sure which draw engines to run. Pulse of the Grid seems fun.

Maybe Abjure, and Back to Basics.

Pulse of the Grid is interesting, but not super needed.
