I don't currently own transmute artifact or power artifact. I also don't feel like there are cards that serve as good replacements for what they do. What would you recommend in for filler? My meta isn't very creature heavy.

I have been having a lot of trouble dealing with the new Lavinia in a pod I play with a lot. I run a fairly similar list to this although I made some room for a Torpor Orb and a Pongify to help with Animar and Selvala respectively.

DHGLOOPZ You can run Reshape and Trophy Mage instead of those two. Reshape to replace Transmute Artifact and Trophy Mage to get Rings of Brighthearth faster.

@LabManiac_Sigi Hello, I was wondering if you could share you thoughts on Portent . I'm thinking about finding a slot for it, and as another ponder with the only downside being you draw at the next upkeep, I was wondering if you've considered it before or if the delayed draw is too big a downside. Compared to sleight of hand it let's you see an extra card and gives another possible shuffle, so if like to hear your opinion before I really try to make a swap.

Please don't run Portent. Delayed draws are really bad.

ManSauce Tinker is banned in multiplayer EDH.

Do you feel snapcaster will find it's way back in?

Hi!

I love the primer! SO much so that I'm making a CVT deck of my own actually. I read through your primer and benjameenbear's primer on mtgsalvation.

My meta is paper and not budgetless, so not exactly all in-cEDH. But save for maybe Timetwister/Tabernacle/Duals level of price, I don't think people are missing cEDH staples (Diamonds, Crypts, FoWs, Mana drains, Mana vaults etc). Some meta examples; Selvala brostorm, Tymna/Kraum MAN, Zur AdNaus, Najeela, Meren stax, FC Prossh, Tymna&Thrasios, Yisan etc. Generally I see a lot of green and people like creatures. If it's a tournament I can get paired with casual/focused decks in early rounds, but I usually avoid pubstomping with my "competitive" decks (GAAIV and Edric so far).

Here is what I currently have in mind; https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/25-03-19-chain-veil-teferi-copy/ I used your deck as a template to start, removing cards I don't have/can't get and working on filling it with cards I can get/have that would work well in my meta. After that I'll tune it further to fit my needs.

I'd greatly appreciate any comment or general advice you could provide me with.

Thank you in advance!

JohnnyCRO: Looks very solid overall, I think you might want to compensate for the lack of rocks a bit more, either by running some of the worse ones (Worn Powerstone, Ur-Golem's Eye, that kinda stuff), or by adding something like Dizzy Spell to tutor for High Tide. Your meta looks really creature-heavy, so slotting in Silent Arbiter and Vedalken Shackles should also be good. Spellseeker is also great for upping your tutor density. The only other thing is Labman Jace, which (if you own one) should really be Ugin.

Thanks for the answer!

I’ll compensate further for the rocks. I know I have a Dizzy spell somewhere and adding a rock or two more certainty won’t hurt.

Yeah, creatures are very relevant here. Both bc I get “downpaired” r1/2 in tournaments and bc people here generally like green and midrange no matter the power level.

How good is Spellseeker if I can’t tutor Transmute artifact? Spellseeker is one of the cards I should get eventually for my GAAIV either way, but I’m interested in your opinion.

Finally, on Jace/Ugin; I’m in a tricky financial position right now. I have more than a few pricier EDH staples and long-term I can and will invest in EDH even further. However for the next 6 months or so I probably cannot cough up more than maybe 10-15€ for a single, and I’m planning my next big MCM shopping spree around Christmas. Meaning that if I end up liking the deck, I’ll get myself a copy of Ugin eventually. But if I want to throw first Teferi games this summer, I have to replace him, if only temporarily. Is LabMan Jace at least passable in your opinion and, if not, what would you recommend instead?

Is Finale of Revelation going in the deck over Pull from Tomorrow , is is the sorcery speed not worth not discarding?

Also do you know of any more graveyard recursion for CV, as my meta runs a lot of artifact destruction?

JohnnyCRO: Normal Lab Maniac might be better than the Jace if your meta doesn't have too much creature hate.

Thoughts on narset, parter of veils? Ye or nay?

is there going to be any update on the new set?

how do you feel about new jace for this deck

How will war of the spark effect this list???

I am using this list and will probably be adding Karn and mycosynth lattice. Thoughts?

I had Karn in mind and think it will fit well.the CMC low enough to not slow the deck... Lattice I feel is a little slow I'm my opinion... It a 6 CMC and by itself I think it helps your opponent to much to filter there Mana...but if u get Karn and lattice out it's fine
