Swapped out Dreamshaper Shaman and Staff of Domination for Firbolg Flutist and Flayer of the Hatebound. Flayer is a backup Stalking Vengeance with the ability to have just as stupid turns, making it much better than the mana-intensive Staff of Domination. Dreamshaper Shaman also requires an investment of mana every turn, so its spot is now taken up by Firbolg Flutist as a better target for Orthion's ability.

v2.10
Krugz, 1 year ago
Major Upgrade:
- Replaced Endbringer with Emrakul, the World Anew
- Replaced Oblivion Sower with Mirage Mirror
Added the Rhystic Study/Phyrexian Arena/Sylvan Library and Gilded Drake of colorless. I went ahead of WOTC and printed my own Emrakul and oh boy, was it fun! I guess those squirrels switch sides just as quick as they populate.
Cutting Endbringer and Oblivion Sower has always been at the back of my mind. I love them so much but they're very situational it hurts. More often than not, I'd choose to keep those 6 mana for more impactful interactions or dropping must-answered threats. Plus, I have Zhulodok.
Murders at Karlov Manor
Romer, 1 year ago
- Add Unexplained Absence, remove Generous Gift. One more mana to exile instead of destroy and target each opponents' biggest (nonland) problem.
- Add Meticulous Archive, remove Island. Tutorable, adds card selection and helps full my graveyard, which I can take advantage of.

Updates
N33KO_MODE, 1 year ago
Put in Abeyance to help with interrupts ; Battle Angels, Wedding Ring, and Bennie Bracks to help with card draw. Took out Mana tithe, Zombie Sub (may go back in), and I am debating on bringing in Ancient Copper Dragon. Also took out two tutors to allow for more casual play and will keep them in my sideboard
Combo Pieces

Infinite combo, I just need to include Clock of Omens into the deck Cauldron Familiar + Witch's Oven + Clock of Omens + Peregrin Took
First Update
Citridon, 1 year ago
I picked up a few random cards after adjusting the deck from the precon with whatever in my collection worked to allow it to have the companion.
-1 Unexpected Windfall, +1 Stern Lesson - A little more narrow than unexpected windfall, but with this deck we should always be able to use the narrow mana, and it being permanent mana and 1 cheaper to cast is a big upgrade if that proves true (and the minor upgrade of discarding after instead of before)
-1 Whirler Rogue, +1 Geology Enthusiast
-1 Terramorphic Expanse, +1 Hall of Tagsin - This makes my colors slightly shakier, but this land can produce artifacts and with Zirda it can become a repeatable 3-mana ramp spell
-1 Reflections of Kiki-Jiki, +1 Thran Spider - I forgot that Companion restrictions can't see the back, so Reflections isn't actually a legal card
-1 Expert-Level Safe., +1 Legion Extruder - Safe is a neat card, but it works less than ideal with the swap to Liberty Prime as the commander. If I get its value, I can't sac it to Liberty's ability. If I don't, it's a 2 mana self exile just to get an artifact. Legion extruder is instead either a shock I eat for power or a backup to Liberty Prime's effect on a shock. And it's rad.
-1 Raff, Weatherlight Stalwart, +1 Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam
-1 Brotherhood Vertibird, +1 Peacewalker Colossus - Bigger by default, has neat synergy with other vehicles. Also: it is a giant robot.
-1 Mind Stone, +1 Aerial Surveyor - Slower ramp to be certain, but the deck has a LOT of ramp, to the point it may be a little over-full, so I'm happy to swap to a ramp spell that advances my board as well
An Update Long Overdue
BMX482, 1 year ago
I have replaced a good chunk of cards. It's been a good long while since I've had an update and boy is it needed. 22 Cards in total have been replaced to help the deck get more draw, removal, and overall synergy with cards that are powerful and awesome in their own right, but just poorely suited for the deck as a whole. And before anyone asks, I took out Gaea's Cradle because realistically I'm never going to purchase a $1k card. It's just not happening and I want this to be an actual deck I will physically build. I also know that Lumra, Bellow of the Woods isn't out yet and is set to be released in August 2024. But the moment it comes out, it's absolutely being added.

- Add Insatiable Avarice, remove Ancient Craving. More tricky colour requirements but cheaper than Ancient Craving, with potential tutor upside, too. I like this card a lot.
- Add Return the Favor, remove Deflecting Swat. Swat is certainly the stronger card but I wanted to move it to a different deck and I wanted to try out Return the Favor. Card seems fun.

Deflecting Swat is a spell I barely use and is pretty much outside my price range anyway, so I'm trying Return the Favor in its place. Torment of Hailfire is a great finisher, but also boring, so I'm trying Gray Merchant of Asphodel instead. Kinda weird it wasn't included before. ===endpanel ===endaccordion

Catching up on the latest new 1/1 fliers and toys from recent sets.

- Add Spyglass Siren, remove Zephyr Sprite. More upside to my 1/1 flier.

- Add Mana Drain, remove Counterspell. Pulled this in an Outlaws of Thunder Junction pack. Strict upgrade.
- Add Muddle the Mixture, remove Spell Pierce. A little more expensive to cast but added utility to tutor for a wincon like Biomass Mutation.

Major Changes
Swing4Lethal, 1 year ago
Hello again, back with another update. My last two events have been underwhelming and the meta has shifted far and away from what the deck was built to beat, and it is struggling. I have decided it is time for a major overhaul to match the changing meta. I won’t go into much detail on the actual event results but will rather detail specific card changes related to the results. I finished those events 2-1-1 and 2-2 with my losses coming from either Thoughtseize decks or Atraxa, Grand Unifier decks. Without further ado, here are the changes being made and why.
NEW:
Three Steps Ahead – Absorb has been underperforming lately and this new card from OTJ fills the three-mana value counter spell slot while also serving other functions at the same time. It is somewhat mana hungry so only one copy is being played currently. EDIT: This card proved itself time and time again. I have upped it to 3 copies.
Hallowed Moonlight – Best tech available against Atraxa, Grand Unifier decks and it replaces itself.
Sunfall – While Supreme Verdict is still a premium sweeper, Sunfall brings along a threat to replace itself and point the gun back at the opponent. In this new meta, two-for-one’s are all the rage and if you’re not gaining incremental value with each card, it’s not good enough.
Restless Anchorage - This manland flies and creates card advantage on attack. Its cheaper to activate than Restless Reef and has evasion over Shambling Vent.
RETURNING:
Leyline of Sanctity – This has become a necessity due the rampant black decks running 8-10 targeted discard spells. Thoughtseize, Duress, and Go Blank are back breaking for control.
SAYING FAREWELL:
Reckoner Bankbuster – I love this card, it has been great for me, and I have only lost one game ever that I have cast it in. However, this last two weeks have shown me it is too slow for the current meta. Not because I’ve lost when I cast it, but because I never really had time to cast it. It competes too hard within the two-mana value slot and must be played at sorcery speed. I’ve lost games with this card in hand, and I’ve lost it to discard spells.
Absorb – The life gain from this card has been nice, but its casting cost is rough and three-mana counters have fallen from grace with the addition of No More Lies. This card is also just worse that Three Steps Ahead, a new tech piece from OTJ that is making its way into the list.
Narset, Parter of Veils – A powerful card she is, but unfortunately, she has not really found much of a home in the sideboard plans for the deck. I rarely board her in and when I do and cast her, she’s been underwhelming.
Saw it Coming – Another card that was a tech against discard decks and was fine, but ultimately not much of an impact was made.
Behold the Multiverse – This was a tech card against discard decks. It did fine but is ultimately worse than Memory Deluge.
Sheoldred, the Apocalypse – I love this card, it is amazingly powerful, maybe one of the most format warping standard legal cards of all time, but it has not found a place within the game plan of the deck and the removal in the format is too good and too efficient for this card to be playable in a control sideboard.
Dream Trawler – Another great card that I love that has been a game winner numerous times for me when the format was dominated by combat decks. However, I find myself almost never boarding it in now and when I do it’s not the game-ender it used to be. This card has encountered the same shortcoming as Shelly in that removal has become too good for even its built-in defense mechanic to be useful. Sweepers and edicts galore mean that this card gets cleaned up too easily.
Shambling Vent - Has been a great card that I love but it is worse than Anchorage and it is time to upgrade to newer tech.
Restless Reef - This card is cool and I love the borderless art but it did not make the impact I was hoping for so it will be going away for a second copy of Anchorage.
The remaining changes are just shifts to and from the main deck to the sideboard and vice versa as well as changes in numbers. The mana base also saw some changes in numbers to adjust to the more Azorius centric gameplan to make casting our spells a lot easier and reducing the number of tapped lands to be able to cast our spells on time more consistently.
That about wraps it up for today, as always feedback is appreciated! Let me know if you have any card suggestions with reasons why they would be good in the deck. Thanks for reading.
OTJ Update
Citridon, 1 year ago
-1 Bant Charm, +1 Three Steps Ahead - not the same modes, but its counterspell version is more potent and it scales to be stronger. And the clone mode has flexible apppications
-----------If I can find one-------------
