Baleful Strix
Artifact Creature — Bird
Flying, deathtouch
When this enters the battlefield, draw a card.

I don't like the timebug - feels slow
I kinda like Chronozoa and Deadly Grub - cool but not great
I love Descent into Avernus
I like subversion and other Creeping Bloodsucker type effects
Braids is almost certainly going to help the table more than it helps you
There are better evasion tools than prowlers helm and trailblazers boots. See ex: Aether Tunnel - Sword Coast Sailor - Security Bypass
There is better removal than Terminate
Suggestions:
Twilight Prophet could be a nice fit
Suspended Sentence could be cute
Baleful Strix is generic good
Vegetables: you have 2 protection spells and 4 boot type effects - almost enough to keep obeka on the board. +4 including counterspells means you will likely only be able to protect her once, maybe twice.
I'm counting 5 evasion effects, +menace is not quite enough to be able to consistently relay on landing damage.
I would add at least 2 swamps. really +3-4 lands would be ideal to be able to hit 3 colors. It's going to be hard for you to play any of your spells with 2 black mana with the current color producing distribution. I would just go for 1/3 each color as the first adjustment.
There is no such thing as too much card draw

Balaam__ I was not including cards like Baleful Strix, trying to focus on the cards that you can get repeatable draws off of. Thank you for the suggestion though!

What about one time effects like Mulldrifter or Baleful Strix?
Also, would you count a tribal restriction? Such as when you cast X (Knight, Sliver, etc.), draw a card?
I know you have a maybe board but if you consider there are also artifact, enchantment, and land creatures, then your maybe board could get a bit large.
DemonDragonJ on Baleful Strix or Necromaster Dragon?
9 months ago
I have a copy of Hypersonic Dragon in my Thraximundar EDH deck, but that creature does not fit the theme of that deck, so I have decided to replace it with another creature, and my current two choices are Baleful Strix and Necromaster Dragon, since theya re both very nice cards, indeed, but I am not certian which of them I should choose.
The strix would reduce the mana curve of the deck, which the deck dearly needs, but it is essentially a powerful blocker, whereas the dragon provides some very nice abilities.
What does everyone else say about this? Which creature should I put into my Thraximundar deck?
DemonDragonJ on How Can I Put Baylen …
10 months ago
I absolutely must put Baylen, the haymaker into my Ghired, Conclave Exile EDH deck, but I am not certain which card I should remove to make room for him, so I would like to ask for advice on that subject.
Every creature in this deck is too good to remove, so I am contemplating replacing either Commander's Sphere or Temple Bell, since Baylen performs the same functions as them, with additional abilities.
Similarly, I must find a way to to put Glarb, calamity's augur into my The Mimeoplasm EDH deck, and I believe that Baleful Strix is the best candidate for replacement, since Glarb also has deathtouch; actually, I just noticed Glarb's ability specifies "spells with mana value 4 or greater," but I should have a sufficient number of spells that meet that criteria to justify putting Glarb into that deck.
What does everyone else say about this subject? How can I put Baylen and Glarb into my decks?
