God-Pharaoh's Gift

Artifact

At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may exile a creature card from your graveyard. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that card, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie. It gains haste until end of turn.

Yeah the Magmatic Galleon just doesn't do enough to warrant spending a Refurbish and can't be hit by God-Pharaoh's Gift or Portal to Phyrexia. So I think if you want more removal Roast is a similar effect that is much cheaper.

Cathartic Reunion pulls double duty in the deck. It is worse that Thrill of Possibility being sorcery speed and needing to discard 2 cards as an additional cost. However the forced discard also benefits the deck. Sometimes your Cathartic Reunion gets countered and you don't get to draw cards, but you still get to fill your graveyard for later turns as the discard is required as a part of the casting cost. Sometimes you just want to fill your graveyard to reanimate, that is the power Cathartic Reunion brings.

In saying that, I do run both as both help the game plan!

AArrgh this deck wants Urza's Saga so bad it hurts! Respect the budget though. Love seeing cards like Riddlesmith and Sai, Master Thopterist, these bring me back. I've not played much artifacts in a while but I remember Memory Jar is pretty freakin sweet, also a big fan of God-Pharaoh's Gift although both of these are probably better in red decks that can do more Welder-y things. Sculpting Steel, Phyrexian Metamorph, Worn Powerstone, Ashnod's Altar are all affordable classics that seem like they'd fit nicely. Skyship Weatherlight and Ring of Three Wishes are budget friendly tutors (also artifacts!) that find your wincons!

Got a real nice game in with the deck last night. Circumstances setup an early God-Pharaoh's Gift and Key to the City. There was a Shu Yun, so I wasn't swinging out. But keeping that Gift out, even retrieving it from my grave and casting it again off a Sanctum Gargoyle kept the pressure on and value flowing.

Thanks zapyourtumor for the suggestions! They are both good viable options to help the discard plan. I like having Cathartic Reunion having the discard as an additional cost to cast the spell, as I get the cards in the graveyard even if it gets countered.

I do like the additional haste enabler as I gone down some God-Pharaoh's Gift for Portal to Phyrexia! The main reason I like Thrill of Possibility is the ability to dump artifacts into the graveyard at instant speed to get around sorcery speed graveyard hate (which was prevalent where I was playing).

Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, I only found a handful of recursion effects. Reconstruction takes the spot of "random old reprint with new art" for the deck. Lol

God-Pharaoh's Gift and Dollhouse of Horrors both seem like they'd work well.

Think Storm the Vault  ^Flip would be too powerful because it flips into a land?

Can I talk you into going B/R? Trash for Treasure lets you run Sundering Titan and Inkwell Leviathan alongside God-Pharaoh's Gift/Gate to the Afterlife. The draw discard in red is also nice as a budget tutor alternative, letting you spend on lands that are useful elsewhere.

A heavier focus on artifacts lets you minimise coloured mana costs, with early turns mostly just being colourless (or hybrid). In addition you can ram in the cheap artifact taplands and landcycler to more reliably stock yard/trigger cook.
