I feel like there are still some breakthroughs to be made in combo-control.

Cards in the sideboard are currently in the deck, but are on the chopping block.

Cards in the maybeboard are not yet in the deck, but are being seriously considered for inclusion.


Additionally, I'm wondering whether I should foil the decklist out. I'm over halfway there, but I'm missing the following:
Snapcaster Mage
Snow-Covered Forest x2
Azusa, Lost but Seeking
Mana Crypt
Verdant Catacombs
Grim Monolith
Scalding Tarn
Bloodstained Mire
Polluted Delta
Yawgmoth's Will
Wasteland
Palinchron
Windswept Heath
Snow-Covered Swamp
Counterspell
Remand
Vampiric Tutor
Flooded Strand
Misty Rainforest
Mox Diamond
Drowned Catacomb
Hinterland Harbor
Intuition
Snow-Covered Island x2
Flusterstorm
Phantasmal Image
Crucible of Worlds
Strip Mine
Wooded Foothills
Marsh Flats
Sol Ring

Some of those cards are alters or foreign, but not foil.

Is it worth foiling the deck out? I remember you said you don't really play much anymore, and while it would be cool to completely foil it, I'm not sure it's worth the expense.

I prefer alters/signed cards to foiling it feels more unique and less "I spent more money". Have you done a family portrait of this deck? I'm curious as to what alters have been done and what they look like.

I kinda like muddle the mixture of JTMS, I feel it can tutor for a lot and helps in counter wars or when you go off.

Those are spectacular! I'm especially fond of that sol ring. Also I appologize for any weird typos, I cracked my phone screen a while back and it does weird things now.

I like them all, but I'm thinking of replacing the Sol Ring and Counterspell with the FTV and promo versions, respectively. I also have a signed Stronghold Mox Diamond, but I want the FTV version.

Those alters are amazing - I really like the full art Mystic Remora. Out of curiosity, do you have a fancy, shiny, or foreign Damia?

Personally, I don't see the satisfaction in foiling a deck. I'd much rather run promos and alters. While your entire deck wouldn't be "consistent," you'd have something unique, especially with the alters (and you probably won't see many of the promos you'd acquire).

Also, as mentioned above, I remember you stating that you hardly get to play. If you get back into playing in paper more, I'd certainly go for the alters and promos.

I'd offer suggestions for the deck itself, but I've never played it nor have I observed highly competitive EDH before. However, I can imagine that Bribery effects aren't prevalent and removing Homeward Path could open up a slot for something more prevalent.

Eh, I never liked the FTV foiling. I have an affinity for oldschool blackborder cards as opposed to foils.

Oh and I just picked up a promo foil flusterstorm for my legacy deck. I do support getting that foil, its SO pretty.
