Too much card draw??
Modern Deck Help forum

I'm in the middle of making a 5 color modern shrine deck. I'm worried that my card draw will be too much. I have cards allowing me to have no maximum hand size, but I think that I might accidentally reach the end of my library. does anyone have any cheap solutions.
Getting into more out-there ideas, because I'm tired and should probably try to sleep, go big with Yorion, Sky Nomad or even Battle of Wits . It might not win all the time, but it will definitely get people talking.

I figured that would probably be the solution, I just needed that second opinion. It was a pretesting concern.

Posting the current list will help people evaluate.
Also, what is all this draw actually getting you? If you’re drawing soo much, are you getting value for doing so? Does your deck have a way to combo-off and win before you mill yourself?
Also, what do you gain from having no maximum hand size? If you’re drawing too many cards anyway, what do you stand to gain from keeping excess cards around?

we'd need to see the decklist, but shrines sound like they can be easily hated out, which is likely the same reason the usage of enchantress decks dropped off so sharply. generally artifact/enchantment based decks are fast enough that they can try to win before the opponent draws too much sideboarded removal, like affinity or bogles.

Go easy on the blue shrines, especially since the draw from Honden of Seeing Winds is mandatory. Or run some enchantment removal and use it on yourself as needed--getting one extra mana from Sanctum of Fruitful Harvest isn't worth losing the game.
Alternatively, rejoice in the draw and keep a Thassa's Oracle or Laboratory Maniac on hand.
How much have you tested this? Are you regularly at risk for overdrawing, or is this a pre-testing concern?
