Package Overhaul —June 12, 2018

While the deck has been playing well, I have been trying to get it to be more lethal sooner and have more options to combo out of nowhere. As such, I have decided to reduce the control aspect of the deck slightly to provide more lines to victory.

Cards out:

Grand Abolisher, Muddle the Mixture, Path to Exile, Fabricate, Selesnya Signet, Ancient Tomb

Cards in:

Silence, Freed from the Real, High Tide, Dark Confidant, Island x2

Also considering cutting Memory's Journey as I can form a recursion loop with Conjurer's Bauble + Auriok Salvagers and we house rule Day's Undoing as Timetwister in casual cEDH games.

Overall the list looks solid. I think thopter foundry is probably your weakest combo. If you dumped that and hangerback walker for more interaction/tutors/Card draw you would probably get more bang for your buck. I would also play windfall before I would play days undoing.

I decided to drop Krark-Clan Ironworks - it's the hardest combo to assemble, however I kept the other two pieces. My meta is fairly creature heavy and it gives me a good backline. Plus it works really well with Tymna and Thopter Foundry by itself makes Bloom Tender tap for 4 colours. But I hear what you're saying with it.

I also cut Hangarback Walker (which makes me a bit sad) because you're right, I wasn't getting a huge amount of value. I ended up adding Spell Pierce and Night's Whisper, however I'm also considering Dark Petition.

Day's Undoing is average, however I'm currently using it as a poor man's Timetwister (since I don't have like $1200 on a single magic card). While it's one shot, I do like the fact that it acts as recursion and doesn't force me to discard (with Necropotence).

What are your thoughts on Diabolic Intent?

Im surprised youre still using Chromatic Lantern. I think the deck already has enough rocks and dorks to keep the deck running against cards like Bad Moon.

Diabolic Intent is pretty strong, but personally I would prefer a higher creature count before running it. I get that I can sac a commander, but I'm still on the fence about it. Grim Tutor would probably be my next Goto (after I get an Imperial Seal that is) just because of the unconditionalness of it.

As for lantern, once I can finish off the manabase a bit more I will swap it out. At the moment it's still kind of a tingvas a comfortable card you know :P

I was thinking along the same lines except I really don't plan on buying Grim Tutor any time soon. Unless they reprint it or come out with a judge foil version. lol.

So for the meantime, you still think Diabolic Intent is not worth a slot in the deck?

Also, you seem to have a lot more removal than my deck. What is your meta like?

My issue with Diabolic Intent is that basically any creature you're sacing is fuel for dramatic scepter. I guess it just depends on how aggressive you want to be in assembling combo.

Yeah, I run a crap load of removal. My meta is pretty threat based and I don't like being caught with my pants down. Just my preferred play style I guess.

Holy shit the Lion's Eye Diamond\Auriok Salvagers combo is insane

Tainted Pact is one I like. Be sure to run only one of each basic ;)

I guess you choose to not tap Elves of Deep Shadow after a bit lol +1 on the deck from me

greyninja: yeah, the Salvagers combo is nice. And the fact that they can recur Walking Ballista is really good.

Tainted Pact is good with labman for sure, but outside of that I would be a bit reluctant to run it.

If I've got more than one life then I'll be tapping Elves of Deep Shadow, don't you worry about that :P and cheers, I'm glad you like the deck.
