Wrexial, the Risen Deep

Legendary Creature — Kraken

Islandwalk, swampwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls an Island or a Swamp.)

Whenever Wrexial, the Risen Deep deals combat damage to a player, you may cast target instant or sorcery card from that player's graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that card would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it instead.

I have replaced Wrexial, the Risen Deep with Thief of Sanity , which lowered the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.40 to 4.35, which is good, and I also feel that the thief's ability better fits the controlling theme of this deck.

I have replaced Wrexial, the Risen Deep with Thief of Sanity , which lowered the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.89 to 4.84, which is good, because this deck has the highest mana curve of all my decks (due to the presence of Kozilek and Ulamog), and I also feel that the theif's ability better fits the name and theme of this deck.

DemonDragonJ on Wrexial or Thief of Sanity?

4 weeks ago

I have Wrexial, the Risen Deep in every EDH deck of mine that contains the colors black and blue, because it is a 5/8 for six mana and has an array of awesome abilities, but it still is very expensive, so I am contemplating replacing it with Thief of Sanity .

The thief has lower power and toughness than does Wrexial, but it also has a much lower mana cost and a far nastier ability, and I also prefer flying over landwalk, even two of them, so I feel that it would be a great replacement for that card.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Wrexial, the Risen Deep with Thief of Sanity ?

Maybe Wrexial, the Risen Deep ? You seem to have a subtheme of being able to play opponents' cards so this seems to fit.

I see a few creatures that would really benefit from the haste that either Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves instills, Fleet Swallower for example. Having to cross your fingers and hope it lives until your next turn to see if you can swing with it seems like denying yourself the fun that warranted its inclusion in the first place. I know the Greaves can spike in price at times but I think the Boots are reasonable enough atm.

On a side note, is there a reason to not have your columns in alpha order? Its a lot easier for anyone who is going to make suggestions if the lists are alphabetized.

Maybe you could do an +1/+1 counters version of aristocrats with Undying and cards like Epochrasite ... basically sacrifice them into a powerful engine before the end of everyone's turn.

Or... (here's one): Insurrection , Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Diluvian Primordial could be a "I play your cards" betrayal theme:

Betrayal

Etali, Primal Storm ... seriously cool

Mind's Dilation ... yes

Fallen Shinobi ... yes

Dire Fleet Daredevil = Jace's Mindseeker ... another Diluvian Primordial

Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge ... commander?

Mindclaw Shaman ... maybe

Mindleech Mass ... maybe

Wrexial, the Risen Deep ... yes

Extract from Darkness ... reanimator

Bribery = Praetor's Grasp ... tutor

Sepulchral Primordial ... reanimator

Thada Adel, Acquisitor ... tutor your Sol Ring lol
