Back with some more legendofa.

Definites:

Cabal Trainee Tentacles instead of hands, but otherwise a FPP with a reach from off camera.

Golem-Skin Gauntlets

Tel-Jilad Stylus

Thought Prison

Avarice Totem

Fist of Suns (makes Thanos jealous)


Highly dubious:

Canopy Claws if the foliage is alive and sentient, then theoretically we could be getting something close to a first person view.

Stoic Champion nice FPP but no hands from off screen.

Banshee's Blade maybe FPP, maybe not.

Proteus Staff first person view and hands coming from out of frame, but the hands are part of the staff.

Baton of Courage probably not FPP.

Fleshgrafter probably not from the perspective of those poor hands.

Cage of Hands the hands are disembodied so I’m not sure if you want to count it.

No-Dachi probably not FPP.

Soratami Mirror-Guard definitely first person, but again, no hands.

You have to have valid targets for each part of a spell or ability to cast/activate it. Just like you MUST have six valid targets in order to cast Hex , you must have two targets for Phyrexian Splicer and the first target must have the ability you want to grant the second.

This gatherer ruling that looks like it might support your argument but is simply trying to clarify that abilities only fizzle if all targets are illegal and will do as much as they can otherwise.

"If the target which is having the ability removed does not have that ability during the resolution of this effect, then this effect still grants the chosen ability. The reason is that the second target is still legal even if the first one is not."

You can't give your Bear Cub flying without a flier to to target. However; your opponent casting Canopy Claws on the flier in response to the Phyrexian Splicer activation will not stop the Bear Cub from gaining flying.

Hi Junius! I'm always excited to see another Rith deck here at TappedOut -- big kudos to you for running the big purple-winged Dragon too!

To counter flyers, I like Thornweald Archer and Bower Passage. Some other options include Earthbind, Grounded, Dust Corona, and Skyblinder Staff. I generally shy away from "until end of turn" effects, but if really bad, maybe a Canopy Claws or Crossbow Ambush?

Of course all of that is adds, and I know you wanted some advice on cutting! Cuts are always SO hard, but I'll take a look later this weekend. Please tag me if I get sidetracked and don't make it back!
