seshiro_of_the_orochi I thought about Golden Argosy however I don’t like it for a few reasons. it’s a creature so more susceptible to removal. It also only triggers on attack which means you may not even get to use it depending on a lot of factors. Finally it’s just not a Dino :). Let me know if you have any other suggestions!

For blinking purposes, I added Golden Argosy to my own Pantlaza. I really like that idea of Vivien/Orrery. Good job!

Golden Argosy lets you flicker cards manifested by Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate, basically casting them for free (works with noncreatures, but not nonpermanents)

Madcookie yeah I'd noticed too late and haven't got my hands on any better recursion atm. So those 2 cards are on top of the list, thanks!

Not too fussed about the combat damage tbh so Golden Argosy is an awesome suggestion, will get that on the buy list too.

Honestly, ad naus is there cos I had one, it's always handy if I get real screwed with cards and need to dig a bit. Doomsday is there to use with living death, if it's at the right time, can win the game if I really need a hail Mary. I wanna get a good rakdos doomsday pile but not come up with much yet.

I see two regenerate cards but they don't work too good with what you are trying to do. I'd consider Undying Evil and Feign Death instead.

For Rakdos blink stuff the only suitable card for your strategy that comes to mind is Golden Argosy but it will blink your commander before combat damage it dealt, meaning he won't proc of your stuff dying while attacking. Nim Deathmantle could work too I suppose but it is more mana intensive.

BTW I'm curious why does the list run Ad Nauseam and Doomsday?

Golden Argosy works nice in my Kardur deck, that deck is a little more focused on ETB though.. so maybe more worth it in my deck. It needs to get updated because alot has changed: Cardura treats your BPH

There's usually a couple cards a set that do it if it's not a full draft archetype; Unfinity had Now You See Me ..., DMU had Golden Argosy, and it was the UW draft theme in Baldur's Gate, with cards like Oji, the Exquisite Blade, Displacer Kitten and Pegasus Guardian.

If anything, the use of Phasing seems sparing and careful. I can't remember any recent phasing cards besides Slip Out the Back.

FalconForce: Since it's clear you got a satisfactory answer to your question and there don't seem to be any more follow-ups or corrections to be made, I marked it as the "Accepted answer" so this topic can move out of the list of unanswered questions. In the future you can take care of this yourself using the "Mark as Answer" button on the response that you feel best answers your question.

One side note: You mention getting blinks from the particular situation you describe above and I want to make sure one thing is clear. Grell Philosopher's ability only looks at the activated abilities of the targeted artifact, which are specifically abilities in the form of "[Cost] : [Effect]". Only the Crew ability on Golden Argosy is an activated ability (you can see the required format in the reminder text). The other ability is a triggered ability (a triggered ability always starts with "when/whenever/at") and Grell Philosopher won't interact with that.
