Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor, I definitely plan to put a faerie mastermind in my Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck (which also includes a copy of Ertai Resurrected, incidentally).

So far the most exciting thing for me is that we are getting Planechase reprints. Those are surprising hard to find these days.

Faerie Mastermind looks like a new blue powerhouse. I will definitely need to pick one up for my Ertai Resurrected deck.

The team-ups are kind of cute. That Yargle-Multani flavor text though.

Hi everyone! I do apologize for the time away from here. Things have been busy and I've been focused on developing my Giada, Font of Hope deck as this one runs pretty flawlessly. I thought I'd respond to card suggestions with some thoughts of my own. In short, I'm holding my current deck for now. It's always tempting to swap out with each shiny new set, but in most cases I'd favor the current list. Nonetheless, let me respond individually to the suggestions.

I like Wizards of Thay for Lore since I am a longtime DnD player, but I don't think it really goes here. We aren't running a ton of sorceries, and this isn't a deck that benefits too much from discounting that spell type. I also kind of feel like Red Wizards should be red, even though philosophically they fit with blue, but that's just a flavor point. Vesuvan Duplimancy could help us go infinite with Naru Meha, Master Wizard and Rite of Replication, and there would probably be some other shenanigans we could do with it with Venser. I don't know that it would be terrible, but I don't think it would do what we want it to do often enough to justify cutting another piece for it though. Cool card and interesting suggestion nonetheless!

I'm glad you are enjoying the deck! It does have a cool feel and stays a tribal deck which is nonetheless incredibly powerful and combo-y, which is unique. Omniscience is always a fun card and I very much use it as a central piece of my Tuvasa the Sunlit deck. With its high cmc I think it will just get in our way much of the time here. I used to run Clone Legion which is a similar cmc and does synergize, and it did make some memorable games but it was just too far off to make a difference. If you like it play it by all means, it's an amazing card and certainly won't be bad. For me it just would contribute to variance without helping the decks key synergies, but I am picky with that.

Aether Channeler is definitely good and absolutely the type of card that goes in here. It's the right cmc and like AEther Adept can effectively bounce itself back (via the token copy). But it has added utility in that it can draw cards and bounce other permanent types. It definitely replaces either Merchant of Secrets or Cloudkin Seer in that it is strictly better than the former and practically better than the latter. Barrin is good because of his second ability, which I've found to be relevant. And having an extra bounce option is very good without losing the card draw piece. I'm not so sure about Ertai Resurrected though. The abilities are certainly good, but the 4cmc *five to copy) is pushing it for me. I think he's a good option, I'm just not sold yet, particularly over something with a lower cmc.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions as always! I have so many decks and primers now it is easy to miss some suggestions, and as this is my original and favorite deck I do like to keep it up to snuff. Aether Channeler will probably go in soon.

Austin_Smith_of_Cards on Traitor of Men - Sedris Graveyard Combo EDH

Several updates to the list since the last time I've posted, although cannot remember all the cards that got swapped out:

Baby Jace got swapped in as an cheap looter to start getting our graveyard filled up early in the game, fish for card advantage, and transform into a walker to recur a needed spell or two.

Worldgorger Dragon got added as a potential infinite combo with Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead/Necromancy and something like Gary to kill our opponents in the loop, but I found it unreliable as a wincon since a table usually identifies it as a problem in the graveyard pretty quickly, and there isn't really a way in this deck to make use of the loop aside from Gary. Is most likely going to get cut for additional interaction; the new Ertai Resurrected caught my eye.

Got lucky and cracked a Vampiric Tutor from a Commander Legends booster box and immediately got added to the list as a staple black tutor to pull our combo pieces together.

Cephalid Coliseum is a solid filtering effect stapled to a land, seemed a free enough ability to add to the list.

So, this is my current thinking for this list - basically moving Thalia to the sideboard, and trimming some cards i’d rather not see multiples of. Also ditching Ephemerate:

Land (23)

Creature (31)

Artifact (6)

Sideboard (15)

I assume you want to keep it . While cutting either or would get this deck closer to the 60-card level, it also loses a couple of key interactions.

My rough suggestion is to cut the Stoneforge Mystic + Swords and Batterskull, one Ertai Resurrected, two Ephemerate, and I'm not quite sure from here, but that's ten cuts.

For the last three, and this is where I start guessing, cut whichever creatures are doing the least work. I'm going to shut my eyes and say Skyclave Apparition, but I'm far from sold on that. Maybe one Apparition, one Spell Queller, and a third Ephemerate, or one of the Thalia, Guardian of Thrabens?

Aether Channeler is good with Inalla. Ertai Resurrected seems good too.
