Cloudy2024 I actually ended up moving Tishana's Tidebinder to the main and sideboard like you mentioned earlier because of a massive shift away from energy aggro and murktide to combo/midrange in the meta's I am playing in. Snapcaster Mage is only really worth it as a 1 of as I dont end up with a lot of instants in my gy, it feels really good as a 1 of to lock up the game if i get a Waterlogged Teachings  ^Flip off with Slitherwisp on board and sometimes flips games but drawing multiple wont give me a lot of selection. I used to run Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd but took it out because of how dead it was to energy and other heavy board matchups like hollow one and merfolk; I will consider trying it again as a 1 or 2 of since there are some games that i can curve Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd into Teferi, Time Raveler or paired with Samwise the Stouthearted it can have massive value spikes and maybe it could just end up being the thing to solve my domain matchup at the moment. I'm probably going to also cut my Damping Spheres as I am finding the matchups they are good in are already not that bad compared to Eldrazi or Domain, and will probably add another Consign to Memory and something to help vs Leyline of the Guildpact Scion of Draco

Geist of St. Traft and Steel of the Godhead is gonna be a big +1 from me lol. I have to ask why only 1 Solitude though? Seems like your best card alongside nulldrifter, Solitude really provides the interaction needed to stabilize against many powerful creature strats, and it's pretty oppressive when you can blink repeatedly. I do like the choice of Momentary Blink for the flashback grind value. I think sideboard hate cards like Stony Silence and Rest in Peace could be appropriate opposed to Wispmare, Aether Channeler and the 4 Thassas which I don't really understand, I guess for the scry value? I'm also a fan of specific sideboard counterspells such as Flusterstorm, Consign to Memory, Test of Talents or even the humble Spell Pierce. All depends on your meta of course if you're playing kitchen table legacy with your friends these hate cards won't matter as much but if you're going to FNM they will!

After discovering, Consign to Memory I decided it was worth more than both Torpor Orb and Doorkeeper Thrull. Who am I kidding? This deck's soul purpose is to get Phyrexian Dreadnought out ASAP. You either do within the first few turns, or you lose, simple as that!

A couple of copies of Consign to Memory in the side would go along way.

Xica Faerie Masterminds effect isn’t broad at-all… if your opponent isn’t drawing it does nothing. Meanwhile it presents almost no pressure, and dies horribly to Orcish Bowmasters (which, is a much more broadly useful card and actually does things).

You seem to think Consign to Memory is a narrow card, but this only illustrates to me that you haven’t grasped its power. Even outside of eldrazi and one-ring decks, this card is constantly boarded-in against a very wide variety pf matchups. Its application is broad-enough that it’s not uncommon to see decks playing a copy mainboard. There’s practically no meta-deck this doesn’t do something powerful against!!

I wouldn't say its due to narrowness.
If you ask me, i would say its too much "hivemind knows better" inertia, and favouring low cmc cards. And overoptimizing for T1 - while ignoring the rest of the meta.

The utter lack of Faerie Mastermind is a great example. Its a way more broad effect than Bonecrusher Giant or Consign to Memory.

And well, the "narrow" effects i mentioned like Toil / Trouble have uses that makes them easily mainboardable - the draw 2 half means you could have it mainboarded, or be a split between side and mainboard.




I get that i am a "loser with no respect for established WISDOM", people will just have to accept that.
If i would gain my enjoyment more from playing and less from brewing, i would surely have a different outlook. But wouldnt have unique and still viable decks.

Xica you may disagree with the usage of Bonecrusher Giant and Consign to Memory, but I feel that is down to your own personal bias - both cards have been getting played as an answer to the One Ring. Conversely, a lot of the cards on your list aren’t being run in modern at all, because their application is just incredibly narrow/weak/pointless.

Is the purpose of this list to provide players with a realistic guide on feasible options for fighting the One Ring, or lead-them-astray by presenting a host of non-playable cards that don’t practically do enough?

Frankly Consign to Memory is just a newer version of Ceremonious Rejection, if you ask me its good, but its overvalued. Both are extreme narrow spells.
I was always of the opinion that having a lot of catch all answers, is superior. Even if they are weaker in a specific use case, than silver bullets. As a silver bullet hiding somewhere in your 53, is gonna affect the game way less, than the "meh" but relevant cards in hand.
Hence why i say Counterspell, Force of Negation and the likes are superior.
Aside from "on cast" triggers of eldrazi, in an eldrazi heavy meta, i would say consign to memory is a deckbuilding trap. If you need a counterspell, in most matchups it only works against the ring. And as a "counter ability" card its one of the worst, as the alternatives like Tishana's Tidebinder are superior.

Bonecrusher Giant is fine, but again, its just one of the million "stop lifegain & damage prevention" effects of red.
All of which are useful only in a very narrow range of situations.
They are relevant in matchups where you are racing the one ring, and that single fog turn makes or breaks the game. Even for burn, letting the ring player untap, and burning them out on upkeep (after protection from everything worn off) is still an option. The cards i listed are applicable in way more situations than helping in not slowing down with the laft 5 lifepoints.
