If you really want to tutors, Rune-Scarred Demon works fantastically in this deck, other than the cost. Noxious Gearhulk still makes for great removal.

Why Trial of Knowledge over Oath of Jace? I get the 1 less discard (although we have some grave recursion, so it's not a total loss in any means), but 1 less mana and scry at upkeep are two much stronger reasons in my mind to run oath.

Sh1ftyL0ck3: You're right that the only reason he's not in here is due to his CMC...I would love to keep the 7 cmc slot at 3 cards. If he has to go in I figured magister sphinx would probably be replaced. Noxious Gearhulk is nice especially with the lifegain..the only problem is that he's competing with the 6 cmc space. I do think that having a cheaper Ravenous Chupacabra is more than enough with the number of removals in the deck.

FolkenFanel: I've actually tested both and come to like trail of knowledge more. The discard two makes decision way harder for me and makes me more hesitant to abuse it with blink effects. The one extra mana really doesn't make much of a difference from testing. Having an extra card in hand does matter. My deck also doesn't always have Aminatou in play at all times so the scry trigger is unreliable most of the time. That is the reason why I've decided not to use it..but maybe it works better for your deck strategy. Hope this makes sense!

Really like the way this deck looks. I will try to make a version based on this that is a little more budget friendly (No cards over 10€ that I don't already have). Thank you for this interesting base.

dumb question here but how does the Archaeomancer + Clever Impersonator + Ghostly Flicker work for infinite turns with Time Warp

mptacnik: With Time Warp in the graveyard, cast Ghostly Flicker targeting both Archaeomancer and Clever Impersonator. Archaeomancer will get Ghostly Flicker back to your hand upon ETB trigger and Clever Impersonator will come into play as a clone of Archaeomancer which will get back Time Warp upon ETB trigger. Now you can cast Time Warp again to set up for the next extra turn. Repeat ad nauseaum.

HeroKage: Glad you found my primer useful and good luck!

Enral thats what i was thinking but wont Archaeomancer and Clever Impersonator enter at the same time?

mptacnik: I think you're right, I was thinking that clever impersonator's clone effect was an ETB trigger. I'll remove that combo from my list. Thanks for pointing it out!

It would work with Salvager of Secrets however.

Have you had any experience on how well Cloud Cover performs?

Odysseus_97: Cloud Cover serves as a double duty in my deck. It protects my key flicker engine from getting targeted or else I get to bounce them back to my hand only to recast it again for value. It has worked great so far and usually redirects attention to the other players. I'm never unhappy to see it at any point in the game. At worst it will eat removal, which is one less removal to worry about.
