Hangarback Walker: That extra reach/blockers for aggro strategies like Humans/Affinity

Sorcerous Spyglass: Board in for Ad Nauseum naming lightning storm or against Jund naming Liliana.

Ratchet Bomb: Board in to deal with tokens/DnT/Humans/Damping Matrix etc. Mainly for decks that go wide or have a lot of non-land permanents of the same CMC like Lantern control.

Relic of Progenitus: Board in for graveyard heavy decks like living end/dredge/hollow one or decks that play Tarmogoyf or Snapcaster Mage like Jund and Death's Shadow.

Surgical Extraction: For mirror or combo matchups

Wurmcoil Engine: Mainly for burn/aggro matchups

Warping Wail: Board in mainly for Scapeshift/Jund that runs Dark Confidant/Humans

5/17/2018: Playtesting with Karn, Scion of Urza

  • Urza's Factory: Is great on an empty board or late game for that extra blocker...it's tokens also powers up baby Karn's construct tokens for late game inevitability
  • Drawing multiple copies of baby Karn is fantastic...the ability to either draw two cards in a row or create multiple construct tokens to threaten lethal is backbreaking
  • Baby Karn's +1 allows me to plan ahead with the exiled card acting as a forecast for the options I have later in the game...even if Karn got removed I still have game later on if I draw another copy to draw the best card for the boardstate
  • Goldfishing felt great...with the average CMC reduced I am able to get more consistent draws with lesser mulligans and better late game with baby Karn
