Amonkhet —April 8, 2017

After looking at the spoilers list for Amonkhet I can honestly say that there are aren't any new cards I would incorporate into this deck. What kinds of cards am I looking for? Cards that enable combos. Aether Revolt brought me Paradox Engine - a better Intruder Alarm in my opinion. I've yet to see anything as useful in Amonkhet thus far. Besides looking for combo enablers, I'm simply biding my time until more Slivers are released...hopefully we will return to Dominara after this cycle.

But as for actual inclusions, I'm flirting with the idea of acquiring maybe one or two of the new invocations in Amonkhet. The art style of the invocations are a bit gaudy for my taste so i'll have to see how the cards look in person. So far i'd like to see:

• Invocation - Vindicate - This doesn't look half bad, but i'm not sure if I want to trade in my sweet Apocalypse Vindicate though. But it isn't foil...

• Invocation - Counterspell - i've always been a fan of Counterspell, and surely wouldn't mind getting my hands on this for the right price.

• Invocation - Force of Will - I used to run this spell, but then I traded it up for a Mana Drain. I don't know if I would include this in the deck though, what should I swap out if I were to include FoW again?

• Invocation - Pact of Negation - of all the previously mentioned, I'd be most willing to go after an invocation instance of this card because I only have a Modern Masters 2016 instance of the spell...and it's not shiny. I'll likely just trade up for it.

Oh, and thanks to user:Delta-117 for bringing the invocations to my attention.
