Final-Word Phantom

Creature — Spirit Detective

Flash

Flying

During each opponent's end step, you may cast spells as though they had flash.

The question, and I suspect the answer, is pretty specific to mana-producing creatures with defender, and is kind of misleading without that context. It's still very possible to do whatever you want on your opponent's end step, and it's still a valid strategy to conserve mana. They're just avoiding having that mana come from creatures with defender.

Mana abilities will always be usable whenever you want, and instants will still work at instant speed, barring a massive rules change. Final-Word Phantom even expands the options here, and that's less than a year old.

Slurpz on Crouching Kadena, Hidden Phage

ksleazy - Scroll of Fate has been in and out of this deck since its inception. It does all those things as you say, but I find that it doesn't do enough of any one thing to further me winning to warrant it a slot. Since I want to be able to cast Phage, I tend to want to play all of my lands, and outside of that the only thing I would really want to be manifesting is maybe a Vedalken Orrery or a Final-Word Phantom. The decklist is tight enough at this point that I want be playing my cards over manifesting them. In the case that I have a glut of cards and I can comfortably manifest a land, then the ceiling of what is available with Scroll of Fate is still lackluster. I'd rather a morph or something that gives flash to take the 'Scroll of Fate spot' to keep that part of the deck consistent. I found in my experience that the manifest and get in an unblocked Phage strategy is too clunky and inconsistent to keep it in the deck long term after achieving it once. It's always on my radar though and the recent release of Vannifar, Evolved Enigma prompted some more rounds or testing with it but as I said I didn't find this strategy to be consistent enough for my liking.

Sorry for the paragraph and delayed response but I have spent more time in the shower debating with myself whether Scroll of Fate is worth it than I would like to admit and had to get my thoughts sorted out lol. Glad you liked the deck and thanks for the comment!

Crap, I forgot to mention Final-Word Phantom. Super good here.
