Abuses As Foretold. Nothing more to say.

More to Say

Consistency

This deck is extremely consistent and i find my self playing the same cards every game and still having fun. I also find my self winning most games as i draw the same cards i need to win each game. Now other then taking my word saying this deck is consistent look at the card odds for this deck. just under 50% of the time you will have As Foretold in your hand/on the field by T3. That is every other game that you will most likely win just from the ramp that the card gives you.

Use of As Foretold

There are 14 cards in this that i am able to cast on my opponents turn. This means i am able to get the full advantage of As Foretold and Rashmi, Eternities Crafter.

Improvements

Now i believe this deck is currently able to compete at a competitive level but with all decks it can always be better and I am considering Reason because it is able to trigger As Foretolds T1 trigger or allow me to stack my draws until T4 (if dropped T1, with 1st as foretold trigger until T7). Reason would also be useful late game as i could cast it's Believe half for free and sneak in a creature.

I also know that in some games the land base is slow so any improvements there will help.

Sideboard

This is something that i always struggle with in decks but this is one of my few sideboards that aren't complete trash.

Authority of the Consuls: aggro match up's to give you life and slow down your opponent with 1 card.

Manglehorn: heavy artifact decks as it takes out a threat, gives you a 2/2 body, and slows down your opponent for 3 mana.

Prowling Serpopard: Now this one i struggled with. It was between Sphinx of the Final Word and this and as much as i love Sphinx for control match ups it wouldnt do much for me as i only have 4 instant/sorcery cards in the deck so it went to Prowling Serpopard as it can protect 18 of my mainboard cards.

Aven Mindcensor: In case i go against a search heavy deck. I dont know of any currently so this is a slot ready to be changed.

Gideon's Intervention: Tokens.
