Quest for Ancient Secrets

Enchantment

Whenever a card is put into your graveyard from anywhere, you may put a quest counter on Quest for Ancient Secrets.

Remove five quest counters from Quest for Ancient Secrets and sacrifice it: Target player shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library.

Interesting deck idea, as I've been trying to find a home for the Self-Assembler .

While I don't own Devious Cover-Up , perhaps something like Quest for Ancient Secrets or Memory's Journey might fulfill a similar function — ah, just realized they're not common!

Hmmm, maybe a colourless Workshop Assistant in a pinch. I'll tinker away — kudos!

Here are a couple more Quest for Ancient Secrets, Psychic Spiral, and Midnight Clock.

There are more that affect more than just you, only work once or need a trigger event like Lich's Mirror.

Cards to play: Psychosis Crawler which will reward you for drawing by dealing damage. Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted is the better ob nixilis for this deck. Whispering Madness, Dark Deal, Reforge the Soul, Magus of the Wheel, Incendiary Command, Wheel of Fate, Time Reversal, Echo of Eons are all wheel effects that make your opponents suddenly draw a ton of cards that will then let you deal damage to everyone. Prosperity Will have everyone drawing equally. Izzet Signet, Dimir Signet, Rakdos Signet, Arcane Signet are decent mana rocks you're missing. Arcane Denial counters a spell and lets them draw and replaces itself. Stormfist Crusader howling mine effect but punishes at the same time.

Cards to take out. Pillage Very inefficient. Quest for Ancient Secrets Very slow. Sadistic Sacrament not really what this deck is truly wanting to do. Shrieking Affliction 99/100 games your opponents will have more than 1 card in hand. Darksteel Plate just too expensive to be good for this deck. Ob Nixilis Reignited not as good as the other ob nixilis. Cerebral Vortex not usually going to deal massive damage and only damages 1 opponent. Painful Quandary I like this card and probably wouldn't get rid of it, but your opponents will usually have the card to discard. Crawlspace not really going with your overall game plan, it does slow your opponents down,but not by enough. Nin, the Pain Artist it's a lot of mana to sink into an effect like this. Curse of Fool's Wisdom only targets 1 player, it's really too limited. Torbran, Thane of Red Fell a lot of your debate sources are black, this is decent with your commander but not much else. Reverberate I didn't see a huge number of decent targets forthis spell and it doesn't do a whole lot of good. Darksteel Ingot I don't personally like seeing 3 cost mana ramp, I'd suggest replacing it with a signet.

I would like to say that I really like your deck, it's an interesting take on an interesting commander. This is meant to be constructive and all with the best intentions.

Here are my suggestions

Shrieking Affliction because you're actively trying to refill your opponents hands, so they generally wont have empty/ 1 card hands

Spellbook because when running a bunch of wheel effects, usually you're gonna have exactly 7 cards, and then you'll play some from your new hand. I doubt youll find many times where you need to extend your hand size

both Elixir of Immortality and Quest for Ancient Secrets because unless your playing against mill regularly (or maybe some nasty lifegain), being at the bottom of your library almost certainly means that you have already killed your opponents already

(I'm going to apologize in advance right now, since I was studying for an exam earlier and took some Adderall to help me focus. As a result, this comment is about to get a super wordy. Very sorry.

Since you're going to be getting it back after each mill kill, Fraying Sanity seems perfect to cut the work in half. Double points for making it easier to mill yourself out for a Maniac win. Wayward Swordtooth May not have the draw of Gitrog, but its another good ramper. Lastly, you will want to consider a few grave shufflers to avoid gravehate. I did a quick search and found Elixir of Immortality , Quest for Ancient Secrets , Feldon's Cane and Thran Foundry . The first 2 are repeatable, but the artifacts may be worth including too since anyone thaat knows how your deck works will prioritize getting rid of these.

I hope this helps as I intend to build Muldrotha as one of my PEtitioner commanders once I'm done with Okaun and Zndrsplt. Petitioners are just so fun to build around that it seems like a shame to relegate them to only 1 deck.

It's conditional and would need some setup but Invasive Surgery would make sense in your sideboard, particularly against Faithless Looting decks. Cranial Archive or Quest for Ancient Secrets might also work. Field of Ruin is unconditional, booth players must shuffle, Ghost Quarter lets your opponent decide. Stream of Consciousness does what you want, but if you were willing to splash green Memory's Journey is better and you have access to Riftsweeper and Unravel the Aether, the last is worth considering since you don't have enchantment/artifact removal.

Isochron Scepter, might be useful, also Boomerang and Eye of Nowhere can bounce lands, or anything else which is a good stalling tactic. Last thought Blessed Reincarnation is probably better than Commit / Memory, and hits twice. Hope this helps, have fun brewing your deck.

Hey, sorry for a very delayed comment. I thought I had posted my comment but it seems I didn’t post it.

I think this is a great deck & I can’t really think of anything to add. Maybe Quest for Ancient Secrets?
