HarroHunter,
I just started pulling together a Hazezon deck (over at Sandbagging w/ Hazezon), so please treat my comments with skepticism! :-)

  • I like your Emancipation Angel and Galepowder Mage, and just added them to my maybeboard. So thanks!
  • Goldnight Commander is cool too, though I don't think I have enough haste effects in my deck to make it worthwhile. Not sure about your deck, but Valor in Akros might be worth a look too, since it's a little harder to remove.
  • I'm not a big fan of Coat of Arms ... there's a lot of trial in my group, and I don't like its group hug approach.
  • I think of Evolutionary Leap as Harmonize on a sac' outlet stick, and was just discussing the card with some folks, over on my deck. I was on the fence but ended up putting it in, and it may be worth thinking about for your deck too.
  • Blade of Selves is great. I love the extra ETBs + sac' Haz' gets from it!
  • If you like Collective Unconscious, you'll love Shamanic Revelation
  • We unfortunately can't play Momentary Blink, due to the in the rules text

Good luck (and good skill!) with the deck!

@claypiece Thanks for the advice! I really like Evolutionary Leap, Shamanic Revelation and Valor in Akros and hadn't even thought of using Blade of Selves. I'll definitely look at adding those. Also I completely missed the blue cost on Momentary Blink. Thanks that saved me some embarrassment. I'll give your deck a look and see if I can get any other ideas. Thanks again.

Might swap Coat of Arms for Beastmaster Ascension avoid boosting opponent's creatures too.

i think that Galepowder Mage should be in the main board personally, and flicker should be cloud shift. i like using conjurer's closet to blink my creatures as well it's a guaranteed trigger once a turn. Eldrazi Displacer is also something that i have been testing out in my roon deck, and i think that the card is has some great utility for multiple sitations

mountainturtle93 First off thanks for the look. I already am running Cloudshift Flicker and Conjurer's Closet though. Also I like Galepowder Mage but the fact that it's an on attack trigger instead of ETB or an activated ability makes me like other cards better. I also like Eldrazi Displacer a lot but I need to test it out first to see if my mana base can consistently support the colorless mana cost.

March 8, 2016 8:56 p.m.

oh man i don't know how i over looked that lol no problem glad to comment. The land base for it isn't that bad, and i run seer's lantern to use the blink ability or the Scry 1 if i don't have the Displacer. I run one wastes so that i can grab colorless with Cultivate, Kodama's reach, or Farhaven Elf. you have the high market, and the kessig wolf run, along with other ways too. idk i personally think he's a little dead eye navigator that blink my apponents creature's and get through blockers's, and stop creatures from attacking you or use their abilities.

there's that new card coming out that's almost like ghostway as well

mountainturtle93 I just saw Eerie Interlude myself (the card like Ghostway) and it looks great for this deck. As for the Eldrazi Displacer I think I am going to fit it in there somewhere. Not sure what I'll take out yet but I think you might be right about having enough colorless mana. Especially if I stick a Wastes in there to search for. Now on an unrelated subject, since I have you here, what do you think about sticking an Aggravated Assault and maybe a Savage Ventmaw in there? Aggravated Assault is infinite combats with ventmaw or Earthcraft and more than 5 tokens.

HarroHunter,
I run Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw in my Rith deck and love the combo. Best part is the Ventmaw triggers on declare attackers ... it doesn't even matter if it can connect or not!

Mana Echoes is another good combo option ... I like it as Mana Echoes + Sprout Swarm , but it goes infinite with a bunch of cards, and near-infinite just on its own (e.g., 10 Warriors = 100 colorless).

Have you had a chance to get Blade of Selves on a table? I was super-excited about it at first but recently pulled it from my Haz' deck. It was sometimes AWESOME, but I found the high mana cost, the need for a haste effect on Haz', and its high chance of late-game whiff (when against only one opponent) incresingly frustrating. If you're loving it, cool. If not, sorry for the bad advice earlier!

March 9, 2016 10:26 a.m. Edited.

clayperce Hey, I have been able to get Blade of Selves out but only twice and it was kinda like you said it was great the one time because I had Anger in the graveyard and could swing right away. But the 2nd time it was really underwhelming because I got stuck with Hazezon Tamar out since I didn't have haste and it ended up causing me problems and as you said it's a dead draw when there's only one opponent left. As far as Mana Echoes goes that does seem kinda nuts I'm gonna have to see about sticking that in there. Maybe instead of Mana Reflection but I feel like I'll need an outlet to make use of all that mana too. So I'll have to look into that. Maybe drop Naya Charm for Aurelia's Fury.

Nvm I didn't see it at first lol.

I can suggest Conspiracy so when your commander doesn't die you can keep your tokens.

March 9, 2016 6:55 p.m.

HarroHunter says... #15

xShawn That's an interesting idea the only problem is that Conspiracy is black so it's not legal in this deck because of the commander color identity rule. Thanks for the suggestion though.

March 9, 2016 8:07 p.m.

I think that aggravated assault is great, if you're going there with it I would throw in Feast and Famine, earth craft just goes ham even with out the aggravated assault lol

And you'll see with the eldrazi displacer, grave retreival, removing creatures from combat, taking back you creatures if they've been taken. I usually find myself tutoring for him. I think you should take out legion initiative since it nukes your tokens with the bounce

March 10, 2016 12:35 a.m.

HarroHunter says... #17

mountainturtle93 Yea I've been considering taking out Legion's Initiative for that reason. Sword of Feast and Famine would be a great replacement also might put Naya Charm back in for it. I'm not sure I'll think on it for a little bit. Thanks for all the suggestions though!

xShawn says... #18

Oops my bad I didn't realize he didn't have black lol.

March 10, 2016 9:19 p.m.

No problem man flickering creatures is my favorite play style so thought I'd help

I heart it

How do you feel about Juniper Order Ranger?

March 11, 2016 1:03 p.m.

HarroHunter says... #22

jordanalessi Thank you!

Nickosis I really like Juniper Order Ranger's ability but he seems a little expensive. I'll put him in the maybe board and I'll do some testing just not sure thanks for the suggestion though. Hadn't seen that card before.

Nickosis says... #23

I used to have a Marath, Will of the Wild deck, called Eruption (R) that used all sorts of infinite combos to just break skulls. I have since retired the deck, but it was pretty terrible if you didn't get the combo cards, and Juniper Order Ranger with stuff like Ivy Lane Denizen+Mana Echoes+Marath, Will of the Wild was ridiculous.

March 11, 2016 1:20 p.m.

HarroHunter says... #24

Nickosis Ok good to know I'll still need to do some testing to see how it would work in here. Thanks though sounds pretty powerful.

Hey I like the deck! I recently thought about making a Hazezon Tamar deck.

If I had to suggest any cards to fit you theme, it would be Fiend Hunter. He bounces you permanents or removes pesky creatures from your opponent.

Can I ask why no Karmic Guide? You run Reveillark. The two would produce an infinite amount of tokens with Hazezon Tamar (If you had a sac outlet).

Also if you wanted to add more card draw you could add Regal Force and cards with such effects. Also Skullmulcher.

Good luck to you man!
