Score Updates —Jan. 14, 2017

6th Place - 4 Rounds

Just an update to put out the score of the deck so far:

1st Round: 1 - 2 Gitaxian Thing Storm (Storm, but with Gitaxian Probe & Thing in the Ice)

2nd Round: 1 - 2 Mardu Control

3rd Round: 2 - 1 Eggs, it's still a thing apparently! -> Won via Graf Digger's Cage!

4th Round: 2 - 1 Gensis Wave Elves -> Won via Graf Digger's Cage! (Replace Collected)

I'd consider adding Staff of Domination to the deck. Not only can it create infinite mana like umbra mantle, but it can also draw your library. Kiora's Follower could help by untapping a land or one of your manadorks.

Woah, Staff of Domination seems like quite the upgrade versus Umbral Mantle due to card draw, but I'll have to test it since it would require 4 mana to process rather than the 3 achieved by Umbral Mantle. possibly keep an Umbral Mantle to prevent Surgical Extraction/Slaughter Games and include Staff of Domination as a second target for transmutation.

Kiora's Follower seems intriguing, I'll do some testing. But I'll need to figure out what'll be able to swap out with it effectively, got to love the struggle of combo decks.

Thanks for being the first one to provide feedback!
