Thanks for the suggestions DadHumanPraetor. I hadn't seen Gauntlets of Light before, but that's an interesting interaction with Sanctum Weaver. Not sure if I would include it, but I'll definitely keep it on my radar.

I didn't include Heliod's Pilgrim or Moon-Blessed Cleric because I felt the 4 tutor effects I have in-deck are already plenty, and the combo isn't necessarily the main focus of the deck. If I had to include one of the two, I'd be more likely to include Pilgrim over Cleric, since it tutors to hand as opposed to top of library.

Best of luck with your Sythis deck!

I've played with this deck many times. I often miss the chance to draw at least one of the twelve cards of Gauntlets of Light, High Alert, and Huatli, the Sun's Heart. and I used to have Moon-Blessed Cleric in it as well. The spearhead is to deal direct damage, and be unblockable, so if I have Twisted Image, while if I were blocked, the creature would certainly die, but regardless if I have somethings like Aqueous Form, Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive, and Access Tunnel, I will have a good chance of not having to worry about it. One direct hit from Charix is good enough.

Limo It’s been a fun ride so far! Quickly jumped up the list as one of my favorites to play on game nights and looking forward to improving it further. I haven’t thought of any combos with Gauntlets of Light either yet, but I’ll be sure to drop it here if I come across one!

Someone in my play group is in the process of building this right now. I’m excited to see how it plays. When I first saw it I tried to find a Gauntlets of Light combo… but no luck yet. +1

Cheers! Fae of Wishes is a really nice shortcut, for sure - shame I can't put extra copies of the toughness = damage cards in the sideboard! Deputy of Detention I treat as a regular sideboard card that I may actually need, whereas the others were kinda just the first that came to mind - I'll actually bung a Gauntlets of Light in there! That'd be smart, cheers.

Oh hahha! I didn't realize this was your deck, Corrosive_Cat! XD One of the reasons why I chose Gauntlets of Light was so that I could tutor it with Moon-Blessed Cleric along with High Alert, Detention Sphere, Rest in Peace and Angelic Gift. But, of course, I'd rather tutor High Alert instead of Gauntlets of Light...

9-lives I've seen! Made some comments on it :)

I'm not how much I like Gauntlets of Light if I'm honest. It's a little slow, and quite weak - only affects one creature, and if that creature dies it's out for the count. Cheers anyways!

is my deck that runs this non-defender toughtness-damage which I just recently switched to modern. You should add Gauntlets of Light if you want more ability to make toughness into damage.
