How about Pemmin's Aura? Good draw engine to dig through your combos and protection against destroy/exil/bounce cards.

Think I'd put your updates in an accordion so they're collapsible! But I love the deck and the thought you've put into the list, good luck with it :)

tigerdigere Brilliant idea! I have no idea why I didn't implement it sooner.

abby315 Thank you so much for the suggestion! It was a good deal of work, but the page is a lot easier to scroll through.

+1'd before even reading about all the shenanigans you pull off with the deck. The title by itself earns a +1!

I suggest running Enter the Infinite. It's a great way to win with this deck. You play it while the maniac is out or use it to draw the maniac, then tap Arcanis and win.Just my thoughts. Really like the deck though. Super funny.

DivineVinxx, thanks for the suggestion. I feel ETI is much too expensive for the deck. The deck ramps very fast, but ETI costs way too much for it to be stable. The highest drop is 7 that almost always costs 2 instead. If I had to go higher than 7, I would run Omniscience instead. Thanks for your input, however.

Bribery is an auto include

Knowledge Pool is nice with Teferi and can be searched with some tutors. One specific tutor is Treasure Mage. You could also add another target like Caged Sun so you can make more use of your extra turns.

Thanks for the suggestions, Profet93. Knowledge Pool more often than not screws the deck over (Trust me, I've tested it). Treasure Mage is useless in the deck without it, too. I despise Caged Sun in this deck. It costs 6, and with the amount of lands I run it'll rarely do anything for me.

I've been testing with Bribery, but in my group it just hasn't been that good. But Summer's here and the Meta is ready to change yet again with the release of Eldritch Moon. We'll see

Azami, Lady of Scrolls would combo with Mind Over Matter and I would run more lands, The name got me XD

willis1234: If you'd read the deck update from 7/22/16, you'll see my rationale for not running Azami. I've found myself actually flooded more than anything, thanks to the artifacts. Thanks for your suggestions!

Tunnel Vision + Hinder Combo for another way to mill yourself?

August 26, 2016 1:20 p.m.

Recover819: Thanks for your suggestion. You'll see that I removed Tunnel Vision, Hinder, Spell Crumple, and anything else that was in there mainly for TV on 3/12/16. I didn't actually put down a rationale, but I'll write it now I suppose.

Tunnel Vision was strictly a combo piece, and an expensive one at that. Requiring multiple cards and conditions to support it, as well as a decent amount of mana, I found that it was useless once I switched to Arcanis. Thanks again for your suggestion

Seems stacked. I'd maybe cut the Tolaria for an island. I don't think I've ever seen banding in EDH, and Tolaria is subject to non-basic land hate. Also depending on how good Pemmin's Aura is in this deck, Freed from the Real might by worth considering. No shroud, but it still might be good.

Also, thinking again, a little surprised there's no Hall of the Bandit Lord. Feels like Arcanis might like it.

markbeloit, thanks a lot for the suggestions! I've actually been strongly considering Freed from the Real, considering how insane Pemmin's Aura is. As for Tolaria, my mono green deck (that I loan out a lot) runs Adventurers' Guildhouse, and there's little-to-no non-basic hate in my meta. It's in there really to get a laugh from the rest of the table. I like being friendly and silly when I play this deck in tournaments, mostly because it's miserable to play against.

Thanks again!

markbeloit Hall's pretty good, but the whole "Enters tapped" and "Paying life" is a bit much. The deck's already super fast, and already burns through a significant amount of life on its own.
