Cryptic Annelid
Creature — Worm Beast
When Cryptic Annelid enters the battlefield, scry 1, then scry 2, then scry 3. (To scry X, look at the top X cards of your library, then put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest on top in any order.)

FAERIE DRAGON CANTRIP SPAM
4 months ago
I think you have some really nice ideas here. As you mentioned in your writeup, maybe there's just some streamlining to do.
Right off the bat, top-deck manipulation seems like it should be the backbone of your deck. Scroll Rack is the king among these cards and should definitely be a major include in your deck.
Otherwise, I think you could also be playing a ton of Miracle cards to really make your deck tick. They also work well wit your commander because they tend to have high mana costs as well. I'm thinking Temporal Mastery, Terminus, Entreat the Angels and maybe Banishing Stroke.
For some real cheese, Coat of Arms will win you a lot of games on the spot with your faerie army. I think it would be much stronger than a lot of the anthems you have in your deck, particularly Empyrean Eagle. I would just remove them all, honestly.
Elvish Mariner seems perfect for this deck.
If you get to your end step with both Feywild Caretaker and one of the blinkers, you will get to order your end of turn triggers as you like, which means you can always have initiative and make tokens by ordering the Caretaker on the bottom of the stack and resolving the blinks before it.
Some of your cantrips seem worse than other potential cards. I think that playing more card draw spells that can be reduced and then chained with your commanders ability might be the best. Mentor's Guidance seems perfect, Behold the Multiverse and Glimmer of Genius seem great for setting up, Cryptic Annelid can make something cost 6 less, and Gandalf, White Rider tacks on a scry to every spell you cast.
It seems to me that Obsessive Search and Clear the Mind could be easy cuts. Decanter of Enldess Waters seems unnecessary with already several other way to get no max hand size. Pixie Guide seems more fun than useful, though I see why it's there.
Matoya, Archon Elder seems like it was made for this deck.
Garahs on Cryptic Annelid ability with Galadriel …
2 years ago
I've received two different answers regarding this interaction so I hope someone can clear this up: While I have Galadriel of Lothlorien on the battlefield, I have Cryptic Annelid enter. Do I scry three times and then Galadriel's ability triggers 3 times, or do I scry and her ability triggers after each instance?
Thank you in advance.
Clintone on How do Cryptoplasm and similar …
5 years ago
Let's say I just put a Cryptoplasm and a Cryptic Annelid and a Watcher for Tomorrow card into play. On my next turn, I choose to make Cryptoplasm into a copy of the Cryptic Annelid. Cryptic Annelid reads: "When Cryptic Annelid comes into play, scry 1, then scry 2, then scry 3."
Would Cryptoplasm changing into a copy of the Cryptic Annelid count as a new Cryptic Annelid coming into play and allow me to engage in the aforementioned scrying each time it happens?
What if I use a Mimic Vat ability to create a copy of Watcher for Tomorrow every turn that will be exiled at the start of the next end step. Watcher for Tomorrow has a hideaway ability that lets me exile a card from my deck when Watcher for Tomorrow enters play then place it into my hand when Watcher for Tomorrow leaves play.
Could I use Mimic Vat and Watcher for Tomorrow to gain a new card every turn that way?
Finally, going back to the Cryptoplasm, could I, each turn, alternate between making Cryptoplasm into a copy of the Watcher for Tomorrow card, then the Cryptic Annelid card, and back again, scrying with the Cryptic Annelid ability, then gaining a card with the Watcher for Tomorrow ability every turn after that so long as the three cards are in play?

Thanks cmore329508! I would probably sub Drift of Phantasms for Cryptic Annelid , Wall of Denial for Fortified Rampart , and Stalwart Shield-Bearers for some combination of Jelenn Sphinx , Geist of the Archives , and/or Resolute Watchdog .

Ya need more lands, at least 35 if not more. Also cut artifact ramp like Gilded Lotus and Thran Dynamo. You're in green, you can get some wild green ramp. Rampant Growth Farseek Kodama's Reach Search for Tomorrow You also have Tunnel vision in there, probably don't need since it's not really a mill deck, but you didn't include Spell Crumple and Hinder. I'm also not a fan of the "Counter target spell unless they pay x" spells. Hinder and Crumple are much better, even without tunnel vision. You also may have too many counterspells. Essence Scatter also isn't great for you in edh. I'm not a huge fan of Cryptic Annelid, Cartouche of Knowledge, Elixir of Immortality. Some good removal Beast Within Krosan Grip, Pongify
Some fun stuff to add:
Chaos Wand - Can trigger Rashmi to cast 2 spells for 4 mana
Courser of Kruphix Plasm Capture
Trygon Predator - Fly boi with removal
terastadon - Big boi with removal
Draining Whelk - Might be on theme for you. Get a big boi and counter a spell. Kinda expensive though

Aminatou blink!!!
6 years ago
These are all cards I use in my Aminatou deck. These first 3 give some descent continual top deck manipulation that I think is worth their higher converted mana cost (compared to sorcery versions)
Augury Owl is a nice cheap blink target to get continual scrying. Cryptic Annelid: can dig up to 6 cards deep to set up future draws nicely Riverwise Augur: is a brainstorm on a stick.
Hostage Taker: can keep stealing opponents artifacts/creatures as long as you cast them in between blinks
