TheoryCrafter on Should I add more protection …

2 weeks ago

I concur you should have more protection spells. Especially instants(including, but not limited to, Lazotep Plating and Family Reunion) and Auras with Flash (including, but not limited to, Cradle of Safety and Shardmage's Rescue).

I'd also go a bit farther and add any combination of Crystal Barricade, Leyline of Sanctity, Teyo, the Shieldmage and Witchbane Orb so they can't force you to sacrifice.

Hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

Have you considered Encroaching Mycosynth? Just like Mycosynth Lattice, It will make all your permanents artifacts, but with the added bonus of making it so in all zones. This could help you retrieve a card from exile with Karn, the Great Creator or increase your mana production with Metalworker.

I would strongly urge you to find a spot, if you can, for Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge. Especially if you choose to add Encroaching Mycosynth.

To make room, my suggestion would be to move some of your artifacts to your sideboard and take advantage of Karn's -2. Blightsteel Colossus and Darksteel Colossus would be my picks. I'd also add to the sideboard Darksteel Forge.

If you choose to add Darksteel Forge to the Sideboard, May I suggest any combination of Lazotep Plating and Padeem, Consul of Innovation? This will make your deck immune to a lot of board wipes.

As for ramp, you may want to consider replacing all your copies of Search for Tomorrow with either Rampant Growth or Emergent Sequence and Sylvan Scrying with Nissa, Steward of Elements.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Argy on Brew my deck for me

Two cards I have also found useful in EDH, because they allow for a board wipe, are Aetherspouts, and River's Rebuke

Polymorphist's Jest can also help to get rid of Opponent Creatures, or at the very least cut their damage down.

Note that all these cards require you to have excellent timing, so test with them before adding them to your deck.

Lazotep Plating is an excellent protection spell.

Turn to Frog is another good option, however I think Polymorphist's Jest is far better, for EDH.

Of course the strength of these all depend on your playgroup.

mooffalosystema i have played a load of competitive mill, winning tourney with it, and know full-well the ins-and-outs of competitive play.

If you do the math on Mind Funeral you’ll find that it is absolutely terrible when compared to almost all other 2-and-3 mana mill spells. There’s a very good reason no competitive builds ever run that card.

Indiscriminate discard is always worse than being able to target and remove the card that actually poses a threat. There will be a bunch of games where Inquisition is only able to grab the cards the opponent doesn’t really card about. Not being able to grab a Sheoldred, the Apocalypse or Scion of Draco or Murktide Regent or Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is a massive mistake when these are all very-commonly seen threats.

Your assessment of Lazotep Plating baffles me. It only temporarily stalls some combo decks, and feels negligible anywhere else. I think Storm is the only deck that would ever need to be cautious of this card, and nobodies playing Storm atm anyway cause it’s bad. If your local playgroup somehow validates this cards existence, it’s still only a sideboard card at-best (and even then, a terrible one - there’s sooo many better options!).

Some thoughts:

• Lazotep Plating seems really underwhelming considering you have no permanents outside of lands, so all you're really making is a piddly 1/1 army to act as block-fodder. Why not something more impactful here?

• Why Inquisition of Kozilek instead of Thoughtseize? Particularly in any midrange/control matchup, Inquisition of Kozilek just doesn't hit enough targets. But even in combo decks there's a lot of high-mana cards you'd really be needing to hit.

• Mind Funeral is possibly the most underwhelming mill card out there - there are a LOT better options.

No prob Profet93! I've used Seize the Spotlight before in my Anhelo, the Painter deck that eventually got recycled into this one. Seize the Spotlight definitely has that additional bit of upside, since my meta tends to skew a bit more aggro/go wide. I've used Lazotep Plating in another older deck, and liked the corner case protection of giving myself Hexproof on some occasions.

I'm waiting for the most recent Ixalan cards to hit the site, but a change that I am making to the deck is replacing Genasi Enforcers with Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance. I've liked making token copies with her ability when I've play-tested so far.

Thank you for your detailed explanation, I sincerely appreciate it. Regarding Miscast and it's potential considerations, Seize the Spotlight is probably the best given it allows you to more easily get in combat damage and potentially draw cards + ramp. However, Lazotep Plating is kind of more like a counterspell with wide utility. Both are more expensive than 1 mana of course.
