Rules Q&A
- how does Aven Mindcensor interact against fetchlands
- Would you still shuffle your library after not searching it due to an Aven Mindcensor?
- Aven Mindcensor and Tempt with Discover timing of interaction.
- What happens when you can’t search with Doomsday?
- Why does it still count as searching your library when an Aven Mindcensor is in play?
Aven Mindcensor
Creature — Bird Wizard
Flash (You may cast this spell at any time you could cast an instant.)
Flying
If an opponent would search a library, that player searches the top four cards of that library instead.

Nifty, could switch out the banned Iona for Aven Mindcensor or Strict Proctor. The former being amazing most pods I've played, the latter while sometimes detrimental to yourself, has actually helped me more than not in my voltron build. Either way, nice deck.

It's hard to say how to get more value out of it. I was just thinking as a one and done which can maybe block for a turn. Having redundancy to bring back your expensive commander, bypassing commander tax I thought might be good enough on it's own. Given your only ETB effect is solemn, its hard to recommend cards to double up on triggers you don't have. However, the lack of ETB's enables you to add anti ETB hatebears such as Doorkeeper Thrull (2 artifact cards anti synergy), Hushbringer, Hushwing Gryff, Tocatli Honor Guard, or even an unrelated Aven Mindcensor. While they don't fit the sacrifice theme, they might be worth noting depending on your meta.
An option for doubling up on yosei triggers is Strionic Resonator. I noticed you have lithoform engine, but this is another cheaper option to double up on yosei, karmic guide or any of your other ETB triggers.
Unlife on Brew ideas for Scrawling Crawler

This is a really interesting idea. It's reminding me of something like an old rakdos Waste Not build more then anything else. Maybe a rakdos/mardu lockdown build with a Scrawling Crawler + Burning Inquiry/Dark Deal built in as both wincon and disruption, supported by things like Blood Moon, Aven Mindcensor, High Noon, etc

How about:
-
Phyrexian Vindicator, solves flying and deters combat.
-
Since you have Brave the Sands, you can use Defensive Formation to assign blocked damage how you choose.
-
Some runner ups Boromir, Warden of the Tower, Aven Mindcensor, Ghostly Prison, Maze of Ith.

W/U Birds

- You need more interaction, otherwise you are just dropping low-power creatures with no real card advantage and hoping that's enough.
- Restless Anchorage turns into a Bird, so that seems an easy swap for Irrigated Farmland
- There's no way Vexing Gull is playable. An Aven Mindcensor offers some disruption. One is enough, since it can catch your opponent and he can't really play around a single card.
- Your main "Combo" of Kangee, Aerie Keeper with Aven Mimeomancer is actually quite bad. Kangee is too expensive to cast, and if you move your Aether Vial to 4, you have no other creatures on that cost. Since Kangee is legend anyway, you may play 1 but even that is too much.
- Replace Ponder with some one drop or interaction. Path to Exile indeed seems good, since you are playing Cartographer's Hawk

Narset's Work Out Plan
1 year ago
This version of Narset looks so fun, man!
One thing that I feel is fundamental when remembering Narset, Enlightened Exile's function as a Commander is that her ability gives you Graveyard hate as well as pseudo card draw by giving you access to your opponent's Graveyards as well as your own, meaning that you will always have card advantage as long as you protect your Commander.
That being said, I would definitely find room for Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Mother of Runes, Giver of Runes, & an abundance of Counterspells. Personally, I don't like spending more than 1 Mana for a Counterspell these days. Red Elemental Blast, Pyroblast, Dispel, Swan Song & An Offer You Can't Refuse provide a crazy ceiling of value for a single Mana. If you wanted to roll with 2-drops for budget reasons, though, Delay, Arcane Denial, Dovin's Veto & Negate are all easy to cast, & throw a wide net. Misdirection & Bolt Bend are also options here.
Secondly, Narset, Enlightened Exile can only trigger on your own turn, & you need to ensure that everything is going to go as planned. Grand Abolisher & Conqueror's Flail will lock your opponents out of your turn without giving your opponents the same utility like cards like Teferi, Time Raveler & Defense Grid notoriously do. Silence, Revel in Silence Flip, Abeyance & Orim's Chant can do something similar for 1-2 Mana.
Speaking of Stax, there are a few concise, utilitarian pieces that you may want to consider. Drannith Magistrate, Sanctum Prelate, Archon of Emeria, Lavinia, Azorious Renegade, Boromir, Warden of the Tower, Aven Mindcensor & Containment Priest shut down a LOT of strategies. You'd be surprised how little most decks can do once you take away their ability to cheat stuff in, Tutor and/or cast things for free. Personally, every deck I have is heavily handicapped by all of those pieces. I wouldn't even be able to target them with removal if you played your cards right.
For noncreature Stax, you've got Chalice of the Void, Cursed Totem, Thorn of Amethyst, Deafening Silence, Grafdigger's Cage (which your Commander's ability gets around btw, very strong here), & Rule of Law as a few solid options.
You do need quite a bit more card draw, though. Scroll Rack & Sensei's Divining Top are obviously great, but the level of toolbox utility they actually give you in practice is even better than it seems! Archivist of Oghma, Faerie Mastermind & Ledger Shredder all give you card draw that scales with what your opponents are doing, which is fantastic. Other things like Deep Gnome Terramancer & Wandering Archaic Flip do the same thing, though they technically aren't card draw. Hell, might as well throw Monologue Tax out there too since I'm talking about scaling.
There's also Careful Study, Frantic Search, Tolarian Winds, Faithless Looting, Cathartic Reunion, Burning Inquiry, Thrill of Possibility & Dragon's Rage Channeler, which are great synergy here!
Speaking of synergy, let's get into that! The foremost synergies for Narset, Enlightened Exile imho is Underworld Breach + Lion's Eye Diamond + Brain Freeze & Intuition, and much of the deck should be geared towards maximizing on that. They're all very easy to Tutor up via cards like Enlightened Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Idyllic Tutor, Solve the Equation, Fabricate, Reshape, Transmute Artifact, Reckless Handling, Goblin Engineer & Gamble, in addition to being easy to recur via your Commander's ability. It's actually absurd, truly busted. I wouldn't recommend throwing Wheels like Wheel of Fortune or Windfall into the mix, though. They're very overrated, & you can just run Brain Freeze for the combo instead. No need to give all of your opponents a bunch of cards for free if you don't have to! Queen Kayla bin-Kroog is for sure worth consideration, though, if you choose to run Artifact Stax.
Maximizing on Underworld Breach, however, means running Storm. I'd recommend Birgi, God of Storytelling Flip, Storm-Kiln Artist, Urabrask Flip, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual & Seething Song to keep your Storm engine from shutting off. I personally don't condone Runaway Steam-Kin, as it's just too freaking slow & conditional compared to other options.
Additional Combat Phases would also be of great use here as opposed to trigger doublers like Strionic Resonator or something. Aggravated Assault, Waves of Aggression, World at War & Seize the Day are the only ones I'd consider running, though. You don't wanna load up on too many synergy effects when you can just Tutor for the best of them when the time's right, ya know?
Since you're running Dockside Extortionist, I'd also consider Cloudstone Curio. With one other Creature (like Spellseeker for example), you can produce infinite Treasures & ETBs with little effort, which is usually more than enough to get you to the finish line.
Your ramp package is looking solid enough, but I'd include 2 more Rocks as well as the rituals I named previously. Fellwar Stone is, functionally, a 5-color Rock for 2 Mana, which is absurd. I tend to not condone 3-drop rocks, with the exception of Chromatic Lantern, which was just reprinted recently and is currently super cheap.
Oh man, now that I think of it Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal gives your whole team infinite power and toughness via your Commander, as well as giving you infinite Mana if you have enough Rocks on the field. Maybe consider it lol.
Monastery Mentor seems to fit like glove here as well, offering some much needed redundancy and a surprising amount of board presence. It's kind of like Deep Gnome Terramancer or Wandering Archaic Flip in the sense that it just provides waaaay more value while playtesting than you thought it was going to!
Also, consider giving yourself Hexproof with stuff like Witchbane Orb to protect your own Graveyard.
To summarize, I really think your best bet with this one is building a system that gets to either an Underworld Breach + Lion's Eye Diamond + Brain Freeze combo win or an Intuition win as quickly as possible, with other combos like Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter being strong potentialities on the way.
Cheers!

Is Opposition Agent better than Aven Mindcensor? (aven is more evasive tho)
depends on what you want, Aven is a better beater but, Agent is card advantage.
Make a cut for Teferi's Ageless Insight (I cut Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Archfiend of Ifnir is a good one sided wipe in this deck)
Serra Paragon<Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Norn helps the go wide
More 1 drop creature and more legendary creature suggestions are welcome. (legendary creatures take advantage of Gold-Forged Thopteryx etc).
Iron Apprentice, Krydle of Baldur's Gate, Benthic Biomancer, Cosi's Trickster, Judge's Familiar
Less counter spells required due to many protection spells in deck.
Glen Elendra Archmage w/connive you can keep her online
Consider Rhystic Study (slows my creature attack strat. But op... Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor in its place for now)
Rhystic Study gains table aggro, Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor gets your opponents to look at each other
Weak to oppo swing back. Solutions include war tax effects and vigilance.
