I love your Providence. I would remove Roiling Waters and Trophy Mage for 2 Whir of Invention. Maybe even the Repel the Abominable for another Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and a 3rd Fumigate.

Hey abby315,

thanks a lot for your comment. This is really great advice!

I will look into the Pyromancer's Goggles, I haven't thought about this card, but it sounds really great. How many of the Goggles did you run in your deck?

Also the combination of Crush of Tentacles and Oath of Jace sound awesome. I thought initially that Pore Over the Pages is better than Oath of Jace since you can keep the cards. But the oath it is cheaper to cast even tough you can untap two lands after you cast Pore. I also ordered two Chandra, Flamecaller now and Oath of Jace will have a nice scry effect in addition to the planeswalker.

Another card, which I will try in this deck is Engulf the Shore. Crush of Tentacles is better, but Engulf is nice since it is an instant. Maybe I will sideboard it to get more removals.

The Fiery Impulse and Roiling Waters I will definitely get rid of.

Thank you so much! I will look into this and update the deck.

If you can afford them, Pyromancer's Goggles are a really useful addition to this deck! I used to run them in the Origins standard version of this deck and they're great in conjunction with your sweepers, and huge in conjunction with Magmatic Insight because you don't need to discard a second land.

If you do run them, I would suggest replacing Fiery Impulse with Lightning Axe because it will hit creatures harder and, again, you don't need to discard a second card with the Pyromancer copy.

Instead of Roiling Waters, try Crush of Tentacles! It returns your Sphinx's Tutelage, sure, but you'll probably only miss one draw trigger from that because you can replay it next turn. In turn you get a huge tempo relief and, if you cast something like Magmatic Insight or pretty much anything else, you get an 8/8 to buy you even more time.

As a fun combo with that, you can run Oath of Jace instead of Pore Over the Pages as a draw spell, because it'll be bounced and you can replay it for more draw triggers.

W/B allies is one of the strongest decks. If you are seeing Oblivion Strike 4th pick then black is open and you should go hard into it. Ondu War Cleric and Vampire Envoy are all star commons for this deck and unlike other decks in the format can function on just commons and uncommons alone. All-Stars in other colors are Saddleback Lagac, Seed Guardian and Nissa's Judgment also Tajuru Pathwarden is also very solid. Reality Hemorrhage is obviously very good and Zada's Commando is ok. Sweep Away and Roiling Waters are all blue really has by way pf removal and the creatures leave much to be desired. Isolation Zone is very solid as is Relief Captain The colors by way of power as I would rank them are W, B, U/G and R at the bottom. Blue and green are kinda tied. The top four decks are defiantly W/B Grindy Allies, W/G Support, R/W Aggro, and R/U Surge. Surge is a hard deck to draft, but done well it is rewarding.

Roiling Waters is doing you 0 favors in this deck. i am personally not a fan of Jwar Isle Avenger (a 3/3 flier for 3 is good but not great, and a 3/3 flier for 5 is horrendous). replace those 3 with red cards to even the deck out. i suggest more Goblin Freerunner if you have them.
