Path of the Enigma: guess Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor is taking over after Jace as the good guy blue 'walker for now?

I love this deck, I used this same Ebony Owl Netsuke + Howling Mine + Kami of the Crescent Moon combo an age ago and always got a big groan from my brother when I pulled out the deck :P

Have you considered controlling the cost of your opponent's spells to compound the difficulty of emptying their hand with cards like Monastery Siege, Dovin, Hand of Control, Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor, God-Pharaoh's Statue or even Void Winnower just for a laugh? That last one doesn't really offer anything competitively but making spells more expensive or unplayable means fewer potential counters needed or more available to counter creatures. Not a super efficient strategy, I like what you have already but it's an idea. :)

Have you thought about the Wizard planeswalker? Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor

Coward_Token on Strixhaven Commands??

I'm going to be the contrarian and say that Phyrexia's existence will at least indirectly influence the set's plot, with Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor being on the plane as a teacher and taking an ends-justifies-the-means stance against Phyrexia. Basing this on the fact that her card calls her a mentor and makes Wizard tokens ("her abilities were made to match her character as a small tease of things to come"), plus that she is apparently "preparing for a looming conflict that dwarfs the War of the Spark".

Perhaps consider Docent of Perfection  ^Flip & Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor for wizard tokens and support.

LostAlgorithm on Illusory Transformation - *Advice Wanted!*

3 years ago

Kasmina, Enigmatic Mentor is in solely for flavor, since the theme of the deck is illusions and transformations and Kasmina is the transformation magic Planeswalker. I'm going to keep 1 copy of her in regardless. Again, not trying to be 100% optimal, just want to be as effective as I can while maintaining the flavor I want.

I can see pulling out the 2 Dragons for sure. Repeal I'm a little more hesitant on removing repeal. Unsure what the best options would be:

Mana Leak is a little more expensive, but seems pretty powerful and sends card to the actual graveyard.

Negate is powerful too in a similar way, but no good against creature spells.

Cancel works on anything, but is more expensive yet. Though, most of my other cards are pretty cheap, so maybe there's room for a more expensive counter?

Didn't Say Please is expensive as well, but has the added benefit of more cards into the graveyard to support Drowned Secrets and Jace's Phantasm

Disallow is 3 mana too, but hits a wider range of things.

Dissolve is 3 mana, but with Scry.

I'm sure there are others. Posting this as much for my own reference as for input.
