• Fevered Visions may be better than Jace Beleren and Temple Bell

I did actually at one point have Keening Stone in the deck, but the reason it and Nemesis of Reason are not in the deck is because they do not fare well in a multiplayer setting and can end up being too resource heavy (although they can be quite fun).

On the other hand, that's why I quite like Jace Beleren as he is card advantage mainly for me with the upside of incidental draw/deck depletion for my opponents.

Keening Stone and Nemesis of Reason? Would maybe drop Jace Beleren for one of them as it's unlikely you'll hit the -10 in a game.

I like unconventional decks so +1 on this, love to see an EDH mill deck.

My Zur deck (Don't worry... I've got an enchantment for that) ended up turning into a sudo-mill deck with Zur being used to lock down my opponents while I mill them, so you might find a few more useful cards in that.

wallisface I do like Reprieve over Jace Beleren thank you for the suggestion. I don't think im parting with Void Snare quite yet. I decided with Reprieve over Remand because Reprieve can counter spells that can't be countered.

I'm still tweaking mine myself, right now I'm taking out Jace Beleren and possibly Void Snare for remand. It'd fairly consisten as a turn 5 kill. Alot of times people just scoop when you counter their removal for him.

Interesting brew!

As you’re a tempo/combo deck hoping to draw cards and bide time, i’d be ditching stuff like Jace Beleren, Void Snare and Mana Leak in favour of playsets of both Remand and Reprieve - both cards which let you dig deeper while wasting your opponents time.

I’d also think Opt would serve you better here than Serum Visions, mainly as instant-speed lets you present awkwardness on your opponents turn

I was around when planeswalkers were introduced, and I remember a lot of comments about how they were unnecessary since existing cards already do everything, they were too complicated and powerful with three free abilities (reanimate everything for five mana? mill twenty for three mana? Overrun every other turn for *two* mana?, nobody's ever going to use them and they were a gimmicky waste of time, and they pulled focus away from the players because players are the real planeswalkers. Some of these arguments still float around, some are being transferred to Battles, and some have faded away as people learned how to use them. In the last few years (don't tell me the real number), the game has adapted, players have adapted, and planeswalkers are now generally expected and uncontroversial.

TypicalTimmy, it's from the Mirrodin Besieged block. Melira, Sylvok Outcast has the ability to remove Glistening Oil from the infected. As you said, if it fully corrupts the heart its incurable. Venser, the Sojourner was suffering from Phthisis(powerstone radiation poisoning) and knew he didn't have much longer to live. So he gave his spark to Karn and the spark flushed the oil from his body. That's how Karn Liberated was cured.

As for Nicol Bolas, his memory isn't erased. Jace Beleren created an illusion where he showed Nicol exploding and then Ugin, the Spirit Dragon just took his name in such a way he cannot be summoned. Thus, his home is now a Prison Realm.
