Mind's Dilation? —July 15, 2016

I'm thinking of adding Mind's Dilation from Eldritch Moon when it comes out. What do people think? It looks like a fun effect and goes with the theme of using opponents' stuff. Not sure about the 7 mana cost though.

NoSoyYucateco, thanks for the suggestion. I like the flexibility of Volition Reins and Confiscate in being able to steal any pesky permanent. I totally agree with you that Reverberate deserves a spot. I cut Supplant Form which was quite costly to cast for it. Thanks!

Bazaar Trader is great for steal decks

Great to see an Izzet deck that isn't the same old infinite turns! I really like this, along with the idea of using Keranos' burn to finish people. Have you considered Dream Halls?

gonki, thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I purposely stayed away from any infinite combos. I took apart my Mizzix of the Izmagnus deck because of that. It was powerful but so boring to play. Infinite stuff makes me feel like I'm playing solitaire. This deck is incredibly interactive with deciding was stuff to steal or copy. It can lead to very interesting alliances and chaotic board states. It's a blast to play and wins surprisingly often because it isn't perceived as a huge threat.

Dream Halls is an interesting suggestion but I'd be scared about it in my meta. My playgroup uses a lot of counterspells. Dream Halls would essentially turn them all into Force of Will

With so much card draw, maybe add in Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind to exploit that a bit more.

Yeah, it's true the value of Dream Halls is heavily dependent on the meta. Sweet deck either way. :)

I built something similar using Yasova Dragonclaw as my commander. Check it out here.
