Hey guys, this is an idea I’ve been toying around with lately, but I don’t actually have the means to test this deck out at all so if you think there’s something here and have a deep card pool, try it

Some ideas I’ve been thinking about are like a glittering wish plan with dromokas command in the sideboard to get off your wish and pump an arcanist, then flashback the wish for free and have a pretty disgusting line that way, that also leaves you with whatever silver bullet you need

Also the deck kind of wants a Discard outlet thats not faithless looting I think, but I’m not sure what,

I’m aware that sorin probably isn’t at his best in this particular list but I still thought it was worth having as a part of the conversation and also abzan charm probably looks weird in a modern list but it’s really quite good with arcanist so I think it’s at least worth testing

I think the competitive edge of this deck has is the fact that you can play super high threat creatures with blossoming defense to back it up, while not costing yourself in other matchups because using defense to FLashback a 3 mana spell with arcanist is still pretty sweet,

I definetely could use some help with the mana base as well, 4 colors is hard

The sideboard is pretty sketchy ATM, Since I cant play test I’m not sure what you need to tech to beat, so I just tried to round it out as best as possible
