I would suggest an option that includes and , with as a possible third color.

isn't great. Mageta the Lion is a repeatable board wipe, and the other two I would consider are Avenger en-Dal and Devout Witness as targeted removal options.

has a couple of interesting control options. Waterfront Bouncer, Trickster Mage, and maybe Alexi, Zephyr Mage are passable tempo options, Stronghold Biologist and Stronghold Machinist are more color-heavy, and Dreamscape Artist hits color fixing and ramp, unusual for blue.

Spellshapers are generally mana-heavy, but Undertaker gives you a lot of freedom in what you discard, allowing you to switch cards in your hand and graveyard as needed. Notorious Assassin and Greel, Mind Raker are further control options.

offers mostly burn and evasion. Seismic Mage is repeatable land destruction, and Hammer Mage eats artifacts.

is, as always, the best at color fixing, with Greenseeker, Harvest Mage, and Silverglade Pathfinder. Rushwood Herbalist and Dawnstrider protect your creatures, and Jolrael, Empress of Beasts works well with the red options.

Vedalken Certarch But you probs wont have the craft for it.

Rimewind Taskmage But 4 snow may be late to get.

Stonybrook Angler But paying 2 to tap a critter isnt really playable.

Looks interesting! I'd, er, forgotten about Forgotten Creation, so I might see if I can find space for it in my Damia deck.

If I have one suggestion for this build, it would be to add more ramp. You really, really want to be able to hit seven mana reliably early so that Damia can go to work recouping all the cards you discard. I'd start with solid standbys like Farseek, Skyshroud Claim, and Sakura-Tribe Elder, removing stuff like Trickster Mage that doesn't do enough to affect the board state.

You are welcome. I've made a different, very control heavy Lazav deck and using Trickster Mage as a cheaper version of Fatestitcher.

brokendwarf on 1-drop Cube - feels like …

I was originally running the other slivers, but then it was the problem of you need most of them for them to be good. I kept Galerider only because it gave itself flying (and Mothdust Changeling, which I think is strictly worse and I'm not running a lot of tribal/tapping matters stuff, so that'll probably be cut first). So for the blue creature spot it looks like either Trickster Mage, Nephalia Smuggler, Reef Shaman (it's Tideshaper Mystic but during either player's turn), or Vortex Elemental (I've been considering this).

As much as a like how Fever Charm looks, yeah there are better options. Thanks for the help and input by the way.

Thoughts on any of these:

I think those are all very sensible changes. Two notes: though blue is a bit short on creatures, you might consider keeping Turn Aside and cutting Galerider Sliver, who I'm pretty sure doesn't have any other slivers to interact with. You could also just replace Galerider with another blue creature (Trickster Mage? Nephalia Smuggler? Tideshaper Mystic?) and cut something from another color. I also kind of liked Thrive, and think Green Sun's Zenith is unnecessary with the other tutors (just an opinion).

You could replace Blazing Torch with Chromatic Star, Fever Charm with Winds of Change, and maybe Bump in the Night for Entomb. You'd be losing cards with very conditional value for less conditional value. And now that you have Molten Vortex, you can maybe ditch Magus of the Scroll for Banefire (I think Bonfire of the Damned isn't needed) - maybe Electrickery if you want that effect in there.

In any case, having drafted it a few times, I think it's really good, and shaping up to be even better.
