Wheel of Fortune, Leyline of Anticipation, Kederekt Parasite, Time Reversal, Whispering Madness are all really good to have in this deck. I understand playing casually but some of the cards i did recommend are fairly cheap and easy to get. Is there a reason you have Mindcrank side board??

Jeggard I already have Whispering Madness and Time Reversal in the deck. As for Kederekt Parasite, I didn't care for it because I only have a handful of red permanents that can be removed with ease, and once on its own its useless and very vulnerable, so I opted that one out. Leyline of Anticipation is something I do like, but I couldn't decide if it was worth putting in, because not a lot of my sorceries are necessary to be cast like that, at least in my opinion. I may be wrong on that point. Wheel of Fortune is just too much money for what it is to me. I have thirteen (I think) other wheel effects in the deck, along with a few ways to reuse them, so to spend $20 on a single one doesn't feel right to me. If I were a richer man I'd get it but as it stands it won't happen. As for your question regarding Mindcrank, it's in the sideboard because the card in itself isn't that useful to me compared to other cards, and it only shines when combine with Leyline of the Void and Bloodchief Ascension. Also, my play group has a few reanimation decks, so it sometime hurts more than helps lol. Thank you for the suggestions, I greatly appreciate it!!!

if you like Curiosity there are several cards like it. Helm of the Ghastlord, Tandem Lookout, and Ophidian Eye. Geth's Grimoire is a pretty kool card as well.

Weirdhat I do love what Curiosity can do for me. That being said, it is still an enchantment that is very vulnerable to removal, and being attached to a creature is an even greater liability. Very often my board wipes require me to sacrifice my current board state to keep the game going in my favor, so auras only get so much usage. Curiosity is here because it's one mana. Of what you suggested, Ophidian Eye would be great because of the flash, but that two extra mana is iffy to me, and Geth's Grimoire would be powerful as well. At the very least it won't be removed with my creatures like the auras would, and a single wheel could get me several hand's worth of cards. Thank you for the suggestions! I need to sit down and see what can be moved around lol

but that doesn't matter if you just win . plus the card advantage is pretty darn awesome. Then again what you have stated is a concern

Sorry for the late response. But Leyline of the Void actually doesnt combo with Bloodchief Ascension in anyway. The leyline has a replacecment effect for cards going to the graveyard and Bloodchief Ascension is when they go to the grave. Same with Mindcrank. I could be wrong but i have run it by some friends that are judges and thats what i was told so i could still be wrong. But its anyones guess.

Jeggard Oh no, I wasn't trying to say Leyline of the Void combos with Bloodchief Ascension, I had meant Mindcrank comboing with either of them. It is news to me though that Leyline of the Void does not combo with Mindcrank. If that is true then Mindcrank has even more of a reason to be in the sideboard. In all honesty if I could find something to take out for it I would, because being able to have people discard with a single wheel, take damage and mill, then redraw, take damage and mill could easily place 25 cards in the graveyard. That being said though, they are pretty much dead once I hit that point.

While it is high cmc, Elder Mastery I essentially telling your opponents "You can never have a hand again".

Hm. Alright, what I think I'll do since I'm going back to school and I'll be with my play group again, I'm going to proxy Elder Mastery, Ophidian Eye, Geth's Grimoire, and Helm of the Ghastlord to see how they function. If anything they will replace the highly expensive Consecrated Sphinx since they help with card draw as well, and they don't make my wallet cry. This will probably take a few months to really determine their worth in the deck, though I believe it will be Ophidian Eye and Elder Mastery that shine.

Add Sire Of Insanity, combos well with Waste Not. >:) You'll be the most hated one in your group. Here's my own brew Knowledge Hurts, Mind Seize was the deck I turned to when I wanted to play edh as well.

Nightdragon779 I actually just recently swapped out Sire Of Insanity because in all honesty I never got him down where he could have an effect, and the deck has performed exceptionally well despite that. In light of some of the reprints to EDH like Dragon Mage, I wanted to take out cards that really didn't have an impact. The decision is not final and I'm going to see if there is still a place for him, but as it stands there are better cards. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Whoa, Dragon Mage seems really good, I might add that into my deck.

Nightdragon779 Exactly! I had always considered it but the older version was too much money for what it would offer, but now it is so cheap that it is more than worth it. Mizzix's Mastery is another new card to come out in the new commander set that I made room for.
