Fading Hope

Instant

Return target creature to its owner's hand. If its converted mana cost/mana value was 3 or less, scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.)

Thank you as well for your advice!

I've taken all the points you made into account already, and this is exactly why I stopped here, there's need to test the deck out more.

Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive is already a 3 of for exactly that reason, but too important to reduce down to 2. This deck absolutely needs to keep up its speed, hence the exclusion of Foulmire Knight. Fading Hope is a great point for using it, but casting a draw spell for 3, even though the value is higher, I thought would be too slow.

Hope mainly protects Priest or Fynn in case of you not having a Tyvar's Stand in hand.

You're completely right about it, as I will swap the knight in for possibly Wasteland Viper if it turns out this deck needs just that little bit more of draw and can afford it speed-wise.

Fynn, the Fangbearer in my testing was too vital and powerful to cut even one, it would drop this deck's consistency.

I specifically decided against Grisly Salvage in terms of casual format because Harvest is able to hit anything. Salvage is a perfectly good choice, I even should've mentioned it before, but you will wiff sometimes with it. Harvest does fit the curve better as well.

Stitcher's Supplier! Of course. Absolutely. I suggest experimenting and not just putting in 2 of it and Deathrite Shaman. If Shaman doen't hit lands properly, there is no reason not to put in 4 of Supplier.

Can't go wrong with Assassin's Trophy, although I even suggest Fading Hope here. But that removal slot is entirely up to preference.

19/01/2023 changes: There have been a few rounds of changes. Removed counterspells to attempt to make the deck to make more fun to play against, sold the Mox Diamond because it's become worth a mint in the last 7 years, added more draw and refocused the deck on creature ETB based interaction instead of something like Oblivion Ring. It's a good card but I don't get the value that I could get out of a Fiend Hunter. You know where I'm going with this. I've also added more mana fixing to the land base and adjusted colours for the new balance.

Hey. I'm happy I made a deck to enjoy. Let me know any suggestions depending on how it will go or what I should work on!

It depends on whether you intend to keep this deck a budget deck, so I'll suggestion budget sideboard cards.

Fading Hope (Scrying can ensure you mill a creature as well), Divide by Zero (Especially since it's a multi-purpose counter that provides value and you can discard a creature card if you don't learn), Soul-Guide Lantern (Graveyard hate nowadays), Bloodchief's Thirst, Perpetual Timepiece against GY hate directed towards you, Spell Pierce, Make Disappear (Lots of 1 power things to sacrifice) and Ertai's Scorn.

The deck has a slow start, so countering early game aggression or an opponent developing their strategy, basically.

I think you could remove Surgical Extraction in favor of some a bounce spell like Vapor Snag or Fading Hope. Either that or Test of Talents

I think Sprite Dragon is just better than Storm-Kiln Artist. With this many instants and sorceries, you should probably run 4 of them. I think also putting something like Essence Scatter into at least the sideboard would be wise as there are sooo many creature decks running around right now in Pioneer. At least a couple of Fading Hopes and/or Stern Dismissals (a great answer for Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  Flip).

Cool deck! +1 from me!

Thanks Chasmolinker,

Fading Hope definitely seems like a better choice. I'm also so used to putting in Mana Leak in modern that I completely forgot about Counterspell, so that's an auto include. Welding Jar in my opinion does the trick for protection over Slip Out the Back, but I may be wrong as I am currently in the process of buying this deck, so still lots of room for changes. Thanks!
