Matzizzet on Every Masochist Needs a Marchesa to Love Them

Have you considered adding a Trinket Mage and Tribute Mage engine?

Trinket Mage can grab The Ozolith, Skullclamp, Iron Apprentice or Sol Ring and the Treasure Mage can grab you Metallic Mimic, Agatha's Soul Cauldron, Spellskite, Lightning Greaves or a free sac outlet with Altar of Dementia or Spawning Pit *list*. Both mages can also be tutored with Imperial Recruiter and they share the human wizard type with Marchesa which really powers up the Metallic Mimic.

ContraMundi on If I make Spellskite a …

Hi,

I have Princess Yue on the field as well as Spellskite. I am playing a clone to copy Yue, the clone will reenter as the Moon, then copy Spellskite and turn it into a land with the Spellskite ability.

Can I still redirect spells like Infernal Grasp for example that target other permanent types like creatures to my Spellskite land to make the spell fizzle?

Thanks

Thank you for the nostalgia hit. I played a modern elves for years before leaving my deck in abandonment for years. I played modern elves probably 2016 -2022 even pushing it past its prime after modern horizons 2 powercreep.

Ormendahl was a neat 2 of and a backup for ezuri elfball around 2018 when elves were mostly 1-2 colors.

You'd probably want Dwynen's Elite to get critical mass. Imperious Perfect is also good in at least 1.

I'm curious if you can thin the enchantment and lands down in favor of Sylvan Scrying to guarantee the right land to hit.

A few Spellskite wouldn't hurt in the side or even mainboard to stall removal and pesky burn decks.

Good luck, happy deck buibuilding.

I like this, looks like just a lot of fun.

My two suggestions are, 1: replace your Wall of Omens with Spellskite 2: maybe play around a little bit with your lands

@capwner yeah my ratios are not set in stone at all yet... before running madcap I was relying on Spellskite for my activated ability problems (my whole sideboard is junk now)... I'll probably have to get me some more subtlety and consign... or maybe I can get away with running Tale's End?

scottbaker91 on Zur the Enchanter Stax

Some of my favorite Zur Combos are: Teferi, Hero of Dominaria + Stasis // Solitary Confinement + Necropotence // Rest in Peace + Energy Field // Stasis + Azor's Elocutors // Basalt Monolith + Power Artifact // Winter Orb + Mind Over Matter

Sunder, Armageddon, Death Cloud will send your opponents back to the stone age while you fish out more enchants and punch them to death with Zur

Mana Breach, Mana Vortex, Oppression, Overburden are must have stax cards for Zur. The enchantments / creatures that keep your opponents from drawing or casting more than 1 spell per turn are really solid for stax ex: Arcane Laboratory, Spirit of the Labyrinth. Notion Thief + wheels will leave your opponent with 0 cards

Spellskite, Vanishing, Diplomatic Immunity, Steel of the Godhead, Mind Over Matter are all S tier for Zur

Approach of the Second Sun for another easy win con

Have fun crushing your opponents soul
