Gitaxian Probe

Sorcery

( can be paid with either or 2 life.)

Look at target player's hand.

Draw a card.

CommanderNeyo, thanks for the tips! I love the idea of Intruder Alarm since it punishes opponents for playing creatures and makes Revaka's downside less pronounced. And if I can find a Gitaxian Probe in the wild (for trade or someone shop's display case), it is going in for sure.

Also, if you like Sorcerous Sight, you will likely also like Gitaxian Probe

Ocean Gale

Instant - Cantrip

(This spell cannot be cast in response to another spell)

Tap or untap target creature

Draw a card

"If you sit in the right direction the wind can stand you up instead"


The majority of the phyrexian 1 mana spells have seen alot of play like Gut Shot Noxious Revival Surgical Extraction

and 2 of the most broken cards of all time Gitaxian Probe and Mental Misstep both of these cards are in a shout for the power 10-19

anyway

make a one mana phyrexian card that 2010 WOTC would think aren't broken

(Also I unironically think mental misstep and gitaxian probe are actually almost underrated just how powerful they are, despite being banned in most formats because neither are very good in commander but in 60 card constructed if they where both legal in legacy and vintage every deck would run a playset of mental misstep and probably also gitaxian probe)

For what it’s worth, if I were building this deck it’d look something very close to this:

Rite of Flame and Lotus Petalfoil both let you start your game a turn earlier, which is important when there’s otherwise soo few turn one plays.

Manamorphose, Gitaxian Probe and Street Wraith are all there to just cantrip easily, meaning you’re running effectively a 48 card deck which should make it a lot more consistent and find you the pieces you need.

Cathartic Reunion is a bit of a flex slot. I could easily see either Ichor Wellspring or maybe even Goblin Tomb Raider being a better fit here.

Surge of Brilliance would be HUGE in this deck. You also appear to be missing Memnite. Hurkyl's Recall, Retract, and Rebuild are incredibly helpful in artifact-heavy storm decks. Also Gitaxian Probe, Mishra's Bauble, and Urza's Bauble.

If you actually playtest the deck, many times your hand is not that great.

  1. 8 of your tutors put the card only on the top of your library rather than into your hand. I suggest you play Demonic Tutor rather than Imperial Seal.
  2. You have problems with color fixing. You end up being unable to play your cards because you don't have right combination of mana. If your plan is solely to play only one turn, then Lotus Petal is better than Mox Jet or Mox Sapphire.
  3. With Dark Ritual and 8 Lotuses, It's reasonable to get to 5-6 black mana. Some 2 Ad Nauseam and/or Yawgmoth's Bargain would improve your consistency.
  4. Ceremonious Rejection looks bad. If your only plan is to play for one turn, play Pact of Negation. You'll save 1 mana and have more possible targets. It's better if you start the game. If your opponent starts the game, Ceremonious Rejection only works if you have Leyline of Anticipation. And if you have that, you should able to win even with Pact of Negation trigger.
  5. Play 4 Gitaxian Probe and 4 Street Wraith. Your deck doesn't care for life, and you need to get your relevant cards.
  6. If you are allowed to play 4 Black Lotus and 4 Blacker Lotus, then I assume anything is playable. If so, you forgot to include the most powerful card in the entire history - Contract from Below

zapyourtumor on Green...Control?

If you're scared of control just run 4 Veil of Summer sideboard instead of suboptimal lands

Manamorphose may be a filler card, but its not a completely free card like Gitaxian Probe is. There is a reason why not every single deck in modern in red or green plays 4 manamorphose, and its only played by stuff like storm and prowess. It gives you a random top deck so you cant factor it into mulligan decisions, and it costs 2 mana instead of 0 mana so it messes with your mana curve (I.e. you miss your 1 drop, cast it on turn 2 intending to cast sculptor of winter, instead draw into your arbor elf). The better solution is to just up your general card quality.

I really don't like Mutagenic Growth, but I know it is good... I just really don't like paying life, but it would work so well. I guess Gitaxian Probe would be good as well. I'll add them both to the maybe board anyway.

As for Monastery Mentor I'm not sure, honestly it's more of a problem of what to take out for it. I think a good plan would be to reduce the Leonin Lightscribe and Faerie Guidemother to 3 to squeeze in 2 copies. I'll test around to see if it works.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway!
