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.)

Garahs on Cryptic Annelid ability with Galadriel …
1 year 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

Aminatou Value Flicker
6 years ago
There are a few cards I'd like to call into question.
- Sphinx of the Steel Wind I know this card is a good beater, but it doesn't really seem to fit your overall flicker gameplan. try Magister Sphinx if you want a big threat.
- Augury Owl You seem to be running a fair number of to deck manipulation already so Im not sure if this is worth it, but if you like this effect maybe consider Cryptic Annelid
- Armillary Sphere, I just think Solemn Simulacrum would work a lot better.
And there are a few cards I think you should really consider:
- Archaeomancer You have quite a few valuable instants and sorceries, why not use them twice?
- Venser, the Sojourner and Eldrazi Displacer, always good to have repetitive flicker effects.
- Venser, Shaper Savant, absurdly strong with flicker
- Oblivion Stone this card works incredibly well with Sun Titan
I tried to avoid recommending anything super expensive but I believe that any of these cards would slot right into your deck.
