About time... —Jan. 7, 2015

Finally got my hands on a Tropical Island. So I've swapped out Flooded Grove. For now I've decided to keep the check lands over the filters, so Hinterland Harbor will be staying in for the time being (unitl I get the rest of the fetches). Now to get a Bayou, then eventually Underground Sea, though I'm not super fussed on this one short term.

Also, Reality Shift looks cool. Like, really cool.

@Mrironlight: Cheers for the suggestions. I used to run Time Warp in the deck, it was ok but 9/10 times felt like a dead draw. I would sit there, trying to get lots of value out of it, which I did in one or two games - but on the whole missed more than it hit.

As for Rite of Replication - the problem with this card is the mana cost. And on top of that most of my creatures are utility guys. copying them to get functionality is nice, but rarely would I actually kick the Rite (due to the fact I would have to tap out to do it) and at that point I'd rather just put a Phyrexian Metamorph back into the deck (which I have been considering for a while now anyway).

I had considered at a time running Bribery, however the biggest issue with this is that it relies on my opponents having good creatures. And then taking said creatures usually just pisses them off. I'd be better off running Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre or something but then its just a big flashy creature, which doesn't actually help me a I don't really attack anyway. And yeah, Homeward Path is a bit of a thing.

Diluvian Primordial does seem fun, however for the cost I would much rather run a Chancellor of the Spires. It lets me abuse the instants and sorceries more. The other thing is, I try to avoid playing Deadeye Navigator outside of combo. There are a lot of really fun ETB effects you can pair him with, the card is a bit broken like that. As such, I highly doubt anybody would let it stick around for more than a turn if I played it just to get value. Sure, there would be times I would play it outside of combo, but those scenarios would be few and far between. If this were an ETB goodstuff deck, I would probably be running Chancellor/Diluvian already. But there is a very specific direction this deck is aimed.

As I said though, I really appreciate people recommending cards, so cheers again for the suggestions.
