Search target opponent's library for a creature card and put that card onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.

Not "budget" per se, but not out of reach: Bribery is the king of using their powerful cards against them! I know Blatant Thievery is great, but selecting their Blightsteel or Eldrazi or Etali that they dared to put in their deck is very satisfying.

solid build looks fun. Id maybe throw in a Yavimaya Hollow Bribery and Treachery More of an opinion than a suggestion...maybe a few more rocks too but you have the ramp so she looks good from here. V nice

legendofa I know my friend's deck uses Sensei's Divining Top, Omniscience, and Enter the Infinite, so I could get one of my combo pieces, or steal one of their combo pieces.

Oh, I just realized it said creature card, I'm blind lol. Being removed right now.

Crash Through would be very good if I am running Narset, Enlightened Exile as my commander, or have Jeskai Ascendancy out.

I'm switching Jace, Architect of Thought and Bribery out.

As for whether unblockable or trample is better, probably unblockable, as here are the current common decks:

My friend: a Merry, Warden of Isengard and Pippin, Warden of Isengard token deck, or Sliver Hivelord slivers deck.

My mom: Kykar, Wind's Fury deck, or a Krenko, Mob Boss krenko deck.

My dad runs a Hazel of the Rootbloom token deck, a Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip discard deck. Sometimes a Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix *f-etch* and Thrasios, Triton Hero draw deck.

Unless you specifically want mass trample, Slip Through Space might be better than Crash Through as a finisher--basically another Enter the Enigma. You're going to have a small number of high-power creatures, but I'd like to know whether one unblockable creature or several trample creatures are better in your meta.

Tezzeret the Seeker is another straight-to-play artifact tutor. Maybe switch it for Jace, Architect of Thought?

Bribery is a good card, but do you have any specific intent with it?

Some ideas to add to the theme/tribalism of your deck :)

• Blatant Thievery/Bribery/Expropriate/Insurrection: Take what you can, give nothing back!
• Breeches, Brazen Plunderer: is awesome at helping you steal your opponents' stuff.
• Coastal Piracy: lots of potential draw and very much in theme.
• Coercive Recruiter: another awesome card for stealing stuff, this time for opposing creatures already on the battlefield.
• Fathom Fleet Captain: yay, a pirate-generator!
• Kukemssa Pirates: now we're stealing artifacts too!
• Ruthless Knave: sacrifice the creature you just stole and create some treasure tokens instead.
• Zephyr Singer: wait, what?! FLYING pirates?

Azoth2099 on Wizard tribal Big X spells

Ahh yes, Wizard tribal. Amazing. Here's some cards to tutor, draw & ramp your way to victory with:

Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Solve the Equation, Gamble, Fervent Mastery & Vedalken AEthermage are worth considering as tutors here imo. Most of the other tutors in this color combo are Artifact tutors like Fabricate, Reshape & Reckless Handling...which I suppose could end up playing into a revamped strategy here as the deck develops, who knows?

For draw, Windfall, Wheel of Misfortune (& Wheel of Fortune if you're cut like that), Tolarian Winds, & Decaying Time Loop are all great with this commander. Cantrips like Ponder & Brainstorm should probably make the cut as well, it's hard to top that value for 1 mana.

As far as ramp, I always try to roll with at least 10 mana rocks, a handful of rituals & perhaps a few cost reducers when I'm within {U}{R}, depending on the your deck's mana curve. I know that sounds extreme, but I swear it makes your deck awesome, especially the more it develops. As the quality of each card goes up over time, consistent ramp becomes more and more important.

Also, some combo pieces to pair with Dualcaster Mage wouldn't hurt either. Twinflame, Heat Shimmer & Ghostly Flicker all work, the former 2 are definitely more synergistic with your current list though.

I could yap about various bangers for this commander like Bribery & Acquire all day, but I'll stop here unless you request more.

Lastly, a bit of bad news...Vadrik, Astral Archmage is the best {U}{R} commander for big X spells lol, he's insane. I might even say that he's the best one in that color combo in general.

Cheers!

NV_1980 on Arcanis, The Warrior … and his armada

2 years ago

Very interesting take on Arcanis. Bribery seems a fun way to steal key cards from your opponents and thus make life more difficult for them. Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura could both prove very useful in allowing you to use Arcanis' draw ability multiple times per turn. This is a bit of an expensive upgrade, but Mind Over Matter could even allow you to have Arcanis draw your deck (at the cost of one discard per draw-cycle). Since you're a long-time Arcanis player, you might be interested on my take on him at the center of a mill-deck.

Hey man! You're gonna need a higher density of card draw, ramp and tutors if you want this bad boy to he more consistent, there's no way around it. Fortunately you're in {U}{B}, so that's no big deal. I'd recommend the following options:

Tutors: Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Intent, Grim Tutor, Beseech the Mirror, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Solve the Equation, Fabricate Spellseeker, Merchant Scroll & Lim-Dul's Vault.

Draw: Talion, the Kindly Lord, Necropotence, Black Market Connections, Dark Confidant, Dark Tutelage, Night's Whisper & Ad Nauseam (if you can lower your mana curve).

Ramp: Talisman of Dominance, Dimir Signet, Fellwar Stone, Springleaf Drum, Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Culling the Weak, Bubbling Muck & High Tide. Maybe Rain of Filth.

Other synergistic value: Praetor's Grasp, Bribery, Acquire, Entomb, Reanimate & Mnemonic Betrayal.

Other than that I'd probably say add more cheap counterspells and instant speed removal so you can control the board and bolster your own. Let me know if you need help with cuts, I'm seeing a lot of them.
