Disciple of Deceit

Creature — Human Rogue

Inspired - Whenever Disciple of Deceit becomes untapped, you may discard a nonland card. If you do, search your library for a card with the same converted mana cost as that card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.

SaberTech on Looking for payoff cards for …

I'm not sure how competitive you are looking to go with the deck but a few options to look at are:

Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero is probably one of the better creatures to help crew cards since it can replace itself with a new card right away by crewing and then generate more value over time.

Some of the creatures with the Inspired ability like Disciple of Deceit and King Macar, the Gold-Cursed can also net you value, but at a slower pace.

Grimoire Thief is kind of a weird and janky option. It's an unreliable counterspell effect but also gives you the option to slowly exile an opponent's library just by crewing.

Unctus, Grand Metatect is kind of a lord for vehicles and helps you dig through your library. It also synergizes well with the shark pirates from Aetherdrift.

Immersturm Predator can be instant-speed graveyard removal when there is a vehicle available for it to crew.

There are variety of other creatures with "Whenever this creature becomes tapped" effects that you can look up.

  • Disciple of Deceit This seems to have anti-synergy with Ninjutsu. Since you return an attacker, you are not going to untap it. Overall people seem to overestimate this card. It looks like a tutor, but it's rather quite bad.
  • Inkrise Infiltrator, Vedalken Infiltrator Power one for two mana mana is not worth it.
  • Kotose, the Silent Spider This costs too much for a 4/4 with no evasion and no immediate board effect.
  • Okiba Reckoner Raid  Flip At the start of the game, you can't use it as an attacker. In late game, Menace is not that effective. Overall Changeling Outcast is a more reliable creature for one black mana, and even that isn't exactly a premium card.
  • Twisted Embrace 4 mana is too much for this.

Other cards to add:

  • Shriekmaw - At worst it's a mediocre 2 mana sorcery removal spell, which is not bad. In longer game, you'll get a 3/2 unblockable create to close the game, which further works with nunjutsu. If you can manage to evoke it with Feign Death or Undying Evil...
  • Baleful Strix This is a two mana removal which draws a card. And with Ninjutsu, it you can draw additional card.
  • Siren Stormtamer This is an early ninjutsu enabler, which also protects your better creatures. Unlike say Negate, it can also proactively attack.
  • Sleeper's Robe Ensures unblockability of your ninjas with a card advatage just for 2 mana.
  • Clearwater Pathway  Flip Yet another untapped dual land.

I like the suggestions! What would you cut? This is primarily a Turtle tribal deck really, so I wanna keep it that way. I'm thinking Disciple of Deceit and Three Visits

Leyline of Abundance does a lot for crab rave.

Wurmcalling and Spell Burst are great.

While wake thresher is traditional, once you have alternative untap options, inspired becomes an option, Disciple of Deceit for tutoring, Grimoire Thief and whatnot. Lotta combo outlets from the classic Pili-Pala/Grand Architect style.

Its really meta dependent, but I personally run way more mana rocks in my Phenax deck (~10 rocks) to ensure I can get him out a turn earlier and just generally keep up with the table.

Into the Story is an amazing draw spell in mill decks.

Junktroller is a big booty boy, who can also fuck over anyone trying to use things you've put in their yard.

Crypt Incursion is a 100% must include IMO. Graveyard hate is key in any mill deck, and this one can gain you an insane amount of life out of nowhere... this card has saved my ass countless times.

I see you have King Macar, the Gold-Cursed, a great choice! I really like a few other "Inspired" cards in this deck, Disciple of Deceit and Arbiter of the Ideal being the best two other options. I was running the Siren before too, but it recently got cut.

Alright, updates made. Spellskite, Vendilion Clique, and Vendetta removed for Reclaim, Disciple of Deceit, and Phantasmal Image. Let me do some goldfishing and see if the deck is where i like it. at some point i hope to get some actual playtesting in.

Lanzo493 on Tasigur cEDH Advice

I like Reclaim and Phantasmal Image. This is because you mill yourself a lot and there's usually a creature worth copying. Disciple of Deceit could be useful if you expect to face decks that you'll be able to attack into. Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire is probably better, though. I don't know if Necropotence fits your deck or not, since it doesn't appear to be a combo deck or a deck that can gain life. I see Tasigur as a control deck that stabilizes in the late game and uses politics to pit players against each other.

I would also suggest Notion Thief (it even looks like you're just holding up Tasigur's mill mana).
