It strikes me that Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip's activated ability would have been more flavorful if the ability let it turn into a creature with mana value X or less, letting you hide which creature it's becoming.

Great theme! (Grand Arbiter is far from a "good guy" imo ;) ) Cavern of Souls for "Human" so hard! (over one of the Lands tapping for your weakest colors; i.e. Blood Crypt/Savai Triome/Urborg) & Reki, the History of Kamigawa > Jhoira. You miss out on 6 draws (which are harder to cast in your deck anyway), but catch him far easier off your "Cascades", considering your curve. Maybe Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip to use their creatures against them? (cheaper for you, + cards like Chulane to check their hands for threats constantly)

legendofa that's right. It can cast Aether Snap for 5 mana so it's exactly the same cost, but if you don't want Snap, it can be multiple other cards. So it's equal or better than Snap in all situations.

Imagine your opponent has an 8/8 flyer. You die next turn if you just play Snap. Instead you cast BTL grabbing Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip, and cast Tibalt, Cosmic Imposter, exiling the flyer and getting a bonus planeswalker

Or maybe your opponent is affinity or enchantress. Then grab Fracturing Gust with BTL (postboard).

Or sometimes you grab Magus of the Moon and the opponent can never cast spells.

I mean Bring to Light can also hit cards like Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip, Mila, Crafty Companion  ^Flip and Extus, Oriq Overlord  ^Flip and play their flip sides, or even something like the bust side of Boom / Bust, but I want the card to be playable on its own as well (I don't want to regret drawing it). The closest I can think of in that aspect is Crime / Punishment, but I can't really guarantee I can hit anything with the crime side of the card when I need to. The punishment side of that card makes it playable on its own as a targeted wipe, similar to Engineered Explosives.

Delphen7 on MDFC card tries to flip

Say I cast Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip. My opponent reveals their hand, and among other options, there is a Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip in their hand, which I take.

Now it gets weird. Say I make Valki a copy of Graveyard Trespasser:

1. Does it become day if it wasn't already?
2. If it becomes night while Valki is a copy of the day face, does he transform into Tibalt? Normally a card wouldn't, but Valki has a back side
3. If it's night when I try to make Valki a copy, which Graveyard Trespasser face does he copy?

Eldmoi on Burncard

I didn't do so great at the modern clash event at PAX East, quickly lost to my 2nd opponent's burn deck. On the bright side, each player I went up against gave me some tips, so I received more insight into how to improve this deck going forward.

I am considering adding some cards I recently played in Arena like Thoughtseize, Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, Tinybones, Trinket Thief, Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip, Rankle, Master of Pranks, Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip along with a few others like Surgical Extraction.

I found that playing full playsets of fewer unique cards is more beneficial than playing 1-3 cards of more varied cards. I prefer making decks with as many different cards that can fit a theme, so I may create a different version of this deck in Commander which would allow that formulaic approach.

I was inspired to start playing paper formats again because of this event however, and will create a new Pioneer deck based on elements of this deck except in Grixis colors using cards like Drown in the Loch, Ashiok, Nightmare Muse and Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  ^Flip.

Overall, I had a great time playing this deck at PAX and definitely have to treat it with some fresh new sleeves!

Polaris on Prosper Tome Bound Flip side …

2 years ago

Prosper, Tome-Bound just says "you may play that card" with no other stipulations, so you can cast any side you have mana for. If it restricted you to casting creature spells, noncreature spells, spells with certain mana value (restricting the spell cast to a certain mana value was the change made to cascade to stop it being broken with Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip), etc, this answer could be different, but cards exiled by Prosper can essentially be played just as if they were in your hand.
