Any good ideas for card draw in UB?
Commander Deck Help forum

I'm in the process of making a 
permission deck, but it strikes me that I need some ongoing card draw engine, or I will just continually run out of cards.
Anybody have any good ideas?
I'm thinking of something that automatically happens, like how you get a card each turn if you have an Artifact and Thopter Spy Network on the field.

Not bad, ducttapedeckbox.
Rhystic Study might also work.
I need some early draw, too. I've been using spells like Ponder at the moment.
At this stage I don't have much ramp in the deck.

Mystic Remora can be good early, and depending on your meta.

Hi Argeaux, I dont know what you already run, there is Bloodgift Demon, Compulsion, Erebos, God of the Dead, Graveborn Muse, Greed, Hedron Archive, Jace Beleren, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Memory Jar, Mind's Eye, Necropotence, Phyrexian Arena, Rhystic Study, Underworld Connections, those are the most used.

Arcanis the Omnipotent looks OK for late game.
Not sure how long it would stick around, although I might be able to return to hand if targeted.

MagicalHacker - List of All Draw Cards (Steady) would help. :)

I've already gone through all the cards using Gatherer.
Never hurts to get some experienced suggestions.

- Arcanis the Omnipotent
- Blue Sun's Zenith
- Consecrated Sphinx - overkill
- Dig Through Time
- Fact or Fiction - fuck me this is good
- Mystic Remora
- Recurring Insight
- Rhystic Study - staple
- Treasure Cruise
- Necropotence - why is this even a card?
- Phyrexian Arena
- Night's Whisper
- Syphon Mind
- Notion Thief - Severely underrated
I'm sure I'm missing some, but these sprung to me atm.

TheDevicer you missed Stroke of Genius, but you got the rest.

My partner had Fact or Fiction in a deck and ended up removing it.
The piles always end up with an amazing card in each, so you often end up getting rid of one of your best cards.

UB has access to almost all of the powerful draw engines.
Necropotence, Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, Phyrexian Arena, Dark Confidant, Notion Thief, Consecrated Sphinx, Bident of Thassa (only relevant in creature heavy decks), Jace, the Mind Sculptor, etc.
Non-engine draw: Timetwister, Time Spiral, Ad Nauseaml, Windfall.
