Shadows Over Innistrad —April 10, 2016

Pretty excited to add Second Harvest to the doubling arsenal. Pulled a Game Trail in my fatpack, so adding that too.

It took me a while Steaditup, but I finally added See the Unwritten. I agree, that'll be a strong performer in EDH. Extra excited to double it.

I appreciate the cool Glen Elendra Archmage + Melira, Sylvok Outcast combo SlapMyBuns, but I'm going to pass on it. I'd prefer to have a card more aligned to the overall theme than to add Melira just to combo with Glen Elendra. I get enough interactions with Glen Elendra through the flicker mechanics already built into the deck.

While I was at it, I added a Sower of Temptation and an Alchemist's Refuge for some spicy options.

I like the flicker direction you've taken here, cool looking list. Here are a few suggestions that may spice things up a little:

Archaeomancer - With 24 instants + sorceries in the deck, this guy would be value town.
Duplicant - Get rid of all the dudes!
Eternal Witness - Further adventures in value town.
Feldon of the Third Path - Debatable choice, but with all of the ETB effects I suspect that repeated recursion would serve you well (Craterhoof Behemoth etc.)
Gilded Drake - No explanation necessary. Stellar card.
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker - Similar to Feldon, Kiki will stretch your ETB value over & over again.
Venser, Shaper Savant - Debatable seeing as you can't have two of him, but he'd be great alongside Conjurer's Closet.

Ghostly Flicker might also be a potent, versatile addition.

Yes, Forkbeard! Archaeomancer, Duplicant, Eternal Witness, Feldon of the Third Path, Gilded Drake and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker are all on on my wishlist as budget allows. Some top-tier suggestions.

I use Doubling Season and Primal Vigor in my Riku deck. And using Kiki Jiki, Mirror Breaker and you just overwhelm your opponent with some of the creatures you have in this deck.

Any EDH deck that runs Biovisionary automatically gets a +1 from me. Have you tried playing with See the Unwritten? That card is bonkers, especially in EDH.

In your description you mentioned that you stray away from counterspells but live Glen Elendra Archmage. Melira, Sylvok Outcast combos with her and provides a strong utility on her own.

Worth a try?
