If you can somehow manage this, Fall of the Thran makes the most amazing combo with The Mending of Dominaria . I ran this on a land creature deck and that combo wrecked many a face into utter sadness and despair: the perfect combo for Pope Nope I.

Earthcraft does nothing lol. There are no basics in this deck.

In the future, please use the Rules Q&A section when you have questions about cards, card interactions, or rules. It has some added functions, such as the ability to "Mark as Answer" a post to indicate your question has been resolved.

I have gone ahead and moved this thread for you.

You are entirely correct in your reasoning - when a copy effect allows you to change the target of a spell or ability, you can only change the target if the spell or ability has a target or targets. As you correctly reasoned, Basalt Monolith 's second ability does not target, thus does not have a target which can be changed.

lifemtg, you deck link isn't working. When it comes up, I'll be happy to take a look. For the time being, I've posted on Mj3913's deck.

Here is my Shalai deck again. I've upgraded the mana base, and am looking into some new M20 cards to sub in. Suggestions and upvotes appreciated!

Farel How much money and time are you willing to budget for this? Like pretty much anything else in life, it takes an investment. How well do you know the rules of the game, and and how much experience do you have? Your initial post says that "I have no clue how to build a deck of my own." If you know the rules well enough, I suggest starting with a Challenger Deck. These are prebuilt decks based on Standard tournament lists, but have a certain amount of room for development and customization.

In my opinion, there are two important steps to getting involved and winning matches. First, find what you enjoy and get comfortable with it. I pretty much never play or aggro above a very casual level--I don't have as much fun with those archetypes as I do with more controlling or attrition-based decks. Second, and this is common advice to where it's almost cliché, practice. The best way to get better at anything is to do it, find what you're doing well and what you need to improve, ask for help when you need it, and learn what the best option is at any given point.

Of course, there are other ways to get into the game. Do you follow the story? Are you trying to win every match, or to build a unique deck, or just have fun? What about Magic: the Gathering brings you in?

A Quicksilver Amulet might help you to dump high CMC creatures that Ipseria digs up for you. Also, if you've got one floating around or can afford to get one, Teferi's Protection might be handy.

I also think consecrated Sphinx is a much better alternative to notion thief.
