Balaam__, I love it! I feel like that IP could provide a lot of artifact/graveyard/exile fun. Indy could be a reworking of Argivian Archaeologist that can get artifacts from any graveyard into play.

Coward_Token Good picks. I hadn't seen Thopter Shop yet; that one's kind of nice. Loran DoH is impressive, but it's still artifact recursion, which white has had since the original Brothers' War set, with Argivian Archaeologist. It's a solid card, just not anything too original.

Oh this is delightful! Might I suggest a few curios for the shop?

Mangara's Tome

Squee's Toy

Teferi's Puzzle Box

I think these relics are exactly the kinds of things an Argivian Archaeologist would unearth and they'd ultimately wind up in Gwafa's shop.

And I love the inclusion of Bazaar of Wonders. One of my favourite cards in Mirage :)

If that's the case, I feel like some reusable artifact recursion would be a lot better than one time regrowth effects. It's unfortunate that you don't have blue for stuff like emry, but there has to be some weird equipment recursion engine somewhere. Also maybe Open the Vaults ? It's pretty all-in though. Maybe Goblin Welder / Goblin Engineer ? Buried Ruin , Argivian Archaeologist ?

Yeah I would cut those cards, as the main point of the deck by what you are doing so far is to play cards from your opponent. Having an artifact sub theme is good, but in the way in having mana and accelerating your boardstate. You can also add in a Master Transmuter to protect or cheat out your artifacts as well.

With paradox engine out on the field you can gain an incredible amount of mana, so I would focus on tutors as well as card advantage. Engines like Mystic Remora as well as Necropotence will be great, the latter being said though would require a good mana base to get the triple black efficiently. Cantrips are also good for filtering and card draw, some staples include Ponder , Preordain , Brainstorm for the basic one drop spells. If you don't like one shot cards than run more effects like Windfall to refill your hand.

Some additional cards that would be great for Sen are also cards like Delay , Remand , Unsubstantiate , Evacuation , Hurkyl's Recall , Snap . All of these types of cards allow you to remove threats and play them again when you take control of their hands.

For recursion based cards you also have cards like Argivian Find , Argivian Archaeologist , Hannah, Ship's Navigator, Faith's Reward in the case of people popping everything or preventative measures. You can also consider a subtheme of adding in planeswalker, as they are generally hard to deal with, and especially with the next set coming out, there are plenty of great choices to choose from.

Here are a list of cards you can consider cutting in my opinion:

Hope that helps!

A non-foil version of this deck would cost around $900. Lower if you shop around for deals.

Dropping the more expensive cards, like Argivian Archaeologist and Mana Crypt would decrease that price even further.

lamocomp1, haha you're absolutely right. Unfortunately, Mono-White doesn't have a lot of options for draw and recursion so we have to rely on some expensive staples such as Argivian Archaeologist :(
