KongMing on A Vast Network of Spies

Hey, I used your deck as a skeleton to make my own. I've gotten a lot of success with some surprising cards I want to share with you.

First, Mist of Stagnation. You already know how fast this deck can ramp up to the mana to cast it. When you see it in your hand, you can hold off on playing "no max hand size" stuff and fill your grave with cards when you discard down. Then play it before anyone else can get a grave presence. Usually people are tapped out early game, with 0-2 cards in grave, so you can really slow them down to a crawl while you play at a pretty normal speed.

Filter Out can deal with a lot of annoying threats at once, while leaving the important parts of your board intact. The value of this card depends on the level of interactivity you need with your pod(s).

On the Trail is amazing resource acceleration and fits into the gameplan perfectly. T1, 1-drop Evasive Spy. Turn 2, On the Trail. Turn 3, Edric, swing, draw card and trigger trail, drop an extra land.

Also, if budget isn't an issue, Overrun can be swapped for Craterhoof Behemoth.

Really though Asgeren, you get all the credit for this swift and hard-hitting strategy. It is one of my most consistent decks now, all while acting as a great "sleeper" and having the resources to defend itself when piloted wisely. Thanks so much for sharing this with the world!

Wow, not sure how I managed to misread Nexus of Fate like that smh, thank you for that correction haha. That's what I get for trying to Magic while sleepy.

Now that I'm rested, let's try to suggest things again...fingers crossed lol.

A really great one that comes to mind is Evacuation. Continuously wiping the board of creatures AND giving you a way to consistently recast Chun-Li for more value is super good. Curfew would be another great way to do this if you're trying to keep the curve low. Filter Out seems like a great way for this deck to consistently control the board very heavily, too. Since this is essentially a graveyard deck, Mesmeric Orb, Windfall, Brain Freeze & Tolarian Winds are all worth considering for sure. Chain of Vapor is ridiculous here too, considering the sheer multi-utility with the Commander imho.

Being dependent on Combat, I'd say Reconnaissance is potentially an auto-include. Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar pulls weight here too, with it's baby cousin Cunning Evasion slotting in for 1 less mana if that matters.

Sorry if I goofed again with these further suggestions!
