Coward_Token on Hybrid rule change
2 weeks ago
In the recent update article to the bracket system, Gavin Verhey floated the idea of making hybrid mana symbols inclusive rather than excluding for the purpose of the 99. Regardless of how you feel about the change, what would the impact be?
Scryfall search for cards with hybrid mana
Ashiok, Dream Render gets to be annoying more often
Murderous Redcap gets to combo in even more decks
Dream Salvage: mono-black discard decks
Azor's Elocutors: mono-white pillow fort gets a wincon?
Sygg, River Cutthroat would be cool for a lot of political decks
Everlasting Torment & Kulrath Knight for Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons & Massacre Girl, Known Killer. For the Knight, also Toxrill, in case you want to be even more annoying.
Vexing Shusher expands its anti-countering services
Wort, the Raidmother might be neat for red+ spellslinger that uses tokens, like Magnus the Red
Rhys the Redeemed: more power to go-wide strategies (although Elfball haters might not be so enthustiatic)
The bonder cycle: Jubilant Skybonder, Cunning Nightbonder, Proud Wildbonder, and Sonorous Howlbonder ... also Alert Heedbonder, I guess.
Enchanted Evening, Gilder Bairn: more shenanigans abound
Godhead of Awe: might be neat for mono-W?
Worm Harvest: Titania is now the queen of worms
All companions become available to an expanded selection of color identites, with the exception of Jegantha (and Lutri)

10 months ago
I've noticed a few* omissions, namely effects that let you pay an alternate cost - which can be less than the regular cost (Zombie creaturess: Rooftop Storm) or reduced by other effects (Samurai: Kentaro, the Smiling Cat).
*Yeah, so I decided to do a proper search and it bloated into more than a "few"... Sorry for the wall of text, but here you go!

Fairish Faeries (Alela Budget EDH)

Also I realized today that Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir actually does give our creatures flash, so he'd have excellent synergy with Cunning Nightbonder, Slitherwisp, etc.

My first thought was add maybe 1 or 2 Nighthawk Scavenger to give a couple more rogues that can close out the game. Something else to consider is utility lands Castle Locthwain and Hive of the Eye Tyrant being the most obvious, though I could see a case for Blast Zone too. Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire could have a place as a tutor.
To really work you need a sideboard, so here are some suggestions;
2x Lithoform Blight (land strategies)
2x Cunning Nightbonder (control)
2x Bloodchief's Thirst (more removal, can hit planeswalkers)
2x Fatal Push (more removal)
4x Duress (for combo or to remve sweepers)
3x Faerie Macabre (grave hate or a rogue at worst)

Could I suggest a Cunning Nightbonder? it would make it easier to cast your commander without it being countered.

Hi nathanielhebert,thanks for always giving me deck suggestions! Cunning Nightbonder it's a great card but have a problem: the mana. i play this card only with 2 blue mana but with this economic mana base it's very difficult :(

Hadn't played a flash deck yet – it's quite effective (and efficient), passing the turn with full mana, waiting to respond and bringing in your creatures with the mana left over. Their abilities synergize well together, and your threats continue to grow if unanswered!
In your opinion, do you think there's room for something like Cunning Nightbonder to protect your assets? Cool deck all the same, and I've got Ikoria-flavoured pieces at hand to cobble it together in paper.
