legendofa on Possible New Format?

This is all AI-generated, except for your notes? I think there's a little too much going on here. There's the Cryptic Insight, there's Arcane Amplification, and both of those add multiple decisions and options. The CI "return an exiled card to your graveyard" effect would be ridiculous with flashback, escape, and similar effects. Add that to the AA "shuffle three cards from your graveyard into your deck" and something like Alrund's Epiphany, Temporal Mastery, or even Restock or Bond of Insight becomes overbearing. And then you can exile cards for charge counters...

The core idea (40 cards, no nonland permanents) is interesting, but the rest of it needs to be trimmed and clarified.

Wheeling Weird

Creature - Weird

When ~ enters the battlefield, each player discards their hand. Then, each player draws cards equal to the number of instant and/or sorcery cards they discarded in this way.

4/4

Weirds are an Izzet creation. Bond of Insight highlights an alliance between Izzet and Dimir. Next, make a Weird that is , but make it feel like a collaboration between Izzet and Dimir.

The new Beginning of the World

Legendary Sorcery

(You may cast a legendary sorcery only if you control a legendary creature or planeswalker.)

Exile all permanents, then every player revel the top card of their libary, until they reveled the same number of creatures they got exiled, or they reveled their libary. They put them into the battlefield under their control. The same is true for artifacts, lands, planeswalker and enchantments.

Exile The new Beginning of the World

Centuries ago, the world recovered from a disaster.

Design a card that shows a new leader in one of the alliances on Ravnica during War of the Spark. Bond of Discipline, Bond of Insight, Bond of Revival, Bond of Passion or Bond of Flourishing

Thank you for commenting. I read Aid the fallen wrong do you think I should add something like Bond of Insight? I just want to get value out of murder. Salvage scuttler was added when I was just focused on putting as much crabs in as possible. I could remove it and replace it with 2x more relic golems. This is my decks win condition.

Awesome deck! I really like spellslinger decks, and playing this seems really fun.

However, considering how many instants and sorceries you have and the wheel theme, i'm surprised you don't have any graveyard recursion or synergy.

some cards that you could consider are: Bond of Insight, Call to Mind, Flood of Recollection, Mystic Retrieval, Pull from the Deep, Relearn, Shreds of Sanity, Backdraft Hellkite, Past in Flames, Volcanic Vision and The Mirari Conjecture

some of those exile themselves and since you have so much draw power that might actually be a downside. If i were to cut something for those I would maybe one of those shuffle effects.

here's some cards that cast instants or sorceries from your or other people's graveyards: Finale of Promise, Diluvian Primordial, Mnemonic Deluge, Mizzix's Mastery and Spelltwine.

mnemonic deluge and diluvian primordial are pretty funny, though kinda expensive. Imagine casting a wheel and then "going shopping" for spells, i highly recommend it. though these exile, so if you loop your deck you can't cast the spell you coped again.

if you want to bounce creatures with niv-mizzet, you could consider Arm with AEther or Sigil of Sleep.

some more spellcasting synergy: Firebrand Archer, Saheeli, Sublime Artificer.

i don't know how often you would be able to kill or do something significant with Spiraling Embers, but i thought it would be a fun inclusion.

here's a few cards for copying instants and sorceries:

Bonus Round, Insidious Will, Reverberate, Thousand-Year Storm, Swarm Intelligence and Twincast. twincast, reverberate and insidious will double as interaction, and you could also consider Narset's Reversal

and a few more card draw inclusions: Laquatus's Creativity and Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip.

sorry for the wall of text, just got excited about brewing so i wanted to suggest a bunch of cards. I hope that this at least gave you some ideas.

To get the deck count down to 100, here are the cards to remove: Verity Circle, Future Sight, Elsha of the Infinite, Ashnod's Altar, Spell Pierce, Ground Rift. For one reason or the other, they're all not impressive enough for this deck.

Remove-> Replace

Bident of Thassa- Reconnaissance Mission

Feather, the Redeemed- Windfall (Or whatever wheel you like better)

High Tide- Bond of Insight or Mystic Retrieval

Seething Song- Flamescroll Celebrant  ^Flip (For the back half of the card)

Flame Sweep- Immolating Gyre (Not sure about this one, but seems better)

Dramatic Reversal- Negate

Abrade- Boros Charm

If Enlightened Tutor isn't necessary for your deck, you may want to try Spirit Bonds , as having a permanent way to give kykar indestructible is nice.

Overall, I'd be very aware of what colors your spells cost. Kykar only makes Red mana, and many of your spells cost 1 colored mana. Maybe skew more heavily towards Red, but that's not a hard and fast rule.

Gidgetimer on Narset's reversal and regrowth?

3 years ago

Narset's Reversal will not yet be in the graveyard when you choose targets for the copy of Regrowth . This means you will be unable to return it to hand.

If you had copied something that returns a card without targeting (like Bond of Insight ) you would be able to return Narset's Reversal .

oeliberti I did have some cantrips in, but cut them in favour of tutor to graveyard effects and tried to have creature draw engines.

Epicurus I do enjoy the suggestions of Forbidden Alchemy and Taigam's Scheming. I cut Mission Briefing for Bond of Insight as a felt it just does more work here. Ghoulcaller Gisa has been benched due to her not being a zombie (apart from commander and wonder no zombies). Gempalm Polluter is interesting though. Also I appreciate the Tenacious D ref ;).
