DreadKhan, I do not have a sufficient number of non-creature spells in that deck to synergize with Flux Channeler, so I shall replace her with Lulu, and I very dearly would like to put Magistrate's Scepter into that deck, but I know that my opponents would never allow me to use it, so I would prefer to not make myself a target. Metastatic Evangel is nice, but I do not believe that this deck has a sufficient number of creatures, or ways to recast those creatures, to justify including it, either, but I certainly do appreciate your feedback.

I think Lulu might be a better card, especially if you would rather move away from dependence on non-creatures, but it might depend; if you're really good at drawing cards you have lots of non-creature spells in your deck, so it might be easy to get multiple Proliferate triggers from Flux Channeler while gaining value from casting spells. I'd say Lulu is also more of a combo piece; I'm not certain what combos would want a Proliferate source, but one that can go infinite for only 4 mana seems like it might attract some attention, depending on your bracket/meta. I guess Magistrate's Scepter could be fun with her?

BTW if you wish to lean more into creatures, there is Metastatic Evangel, it's a budget proliferate source that can be triggered many times in a turn, and can even be used as part of combos involving creature ETBs.

I was going to make some suggestions for Kilo but I see you changed commanders to Inspirit. Looks more like an artifact creatures and charge counters build. For this I would recommend:

Unwinding Clock is great with any artifact strategy.

Tempered Steel buffs most of your creatures.

Inexorable Tide is a great proliferate engine.

Magistrate's Scepter gives you infinite turns with Kilo, Apogee Mind and your commander. You can also find other fun combos here.

Happy Brewing!

While Those Don't Recur, you can take infinite turns with Coretapper + Magistrate's Scepter + Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Steps: play Coretapper (either give it haste or play the Turn Before Magistrate's Scepter) Play Magistrate's Scepter (Muldrotha, the Gravetide On Field) tap Coretapper, Then Sac Him to Put the Total of 3 Charge Counters On Magistrate's Scepter then tap it to take an extra turn, then just play core tapper From Your GraveYard With Muldrotha, the Gravetide and go to your next turn

@legendofa I’m back with some more from a few sets.

Brilliant Plan

Dwindle

Gravewaker

Reclamation Sage

Rogue's Gloves

Transmogrifying Wand

Silent Dart might qualify. The angle is a bit strange, but technically possible.

Whispering Snitch

Carrion Imp could be feasible from that angle.

Mirror March

Ragefire

Tome of the Guildpact

Buried Alive

Mystic Retrieval


These I’m not sure about.

Staunch-Hearted Warrior

Entomb

Dawn Charm At first I thought yes, then realized the hand position is opposite what it needs to be. We should see the person to whom those hands belong, yet we don’t. Maybe they’re reaching high into the air or something.

Gruesome Menagerie I don’t think the zombie’s head is above ground and looking at his hand, I think only the hand burst out.

Sigiled Sword of Valeron I don’t think it’s from the viewpoint of the guy holding the sword.

Naturalize same as above.

Magistrate's Scepter again, same as above.

I forgot to check against your list, so please ignore duplicates.


I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I tried my hand at building my first Pioneer format deck, and ran into a confusing issue. Idk the cardpool so I’ve been relying on various sources to check legality. One app said Cavern of Souls is legal so I added it, but that flagged the deck as Illegal. I checked a different source and it said it was legal, then another said no, and so forth. Do you know for certain whether it’s legal or not?

Having completed my quest to play all 52 of my decks, I decided to try getting a win with all of my decks.

Sep 7

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician No stax! Win, turn 5 (not including one extra turn), infinite turns with Magistrate's Scepter. Turn 2, Bloom Tender; Turn 3: Derevi, Empyrial Tactician etb targeting Bloom Tender, generated 6 mana, (9 total turn 3) and cast Karn's Temporal Sundering. On my extra turn, created a Combat Calligrapher... Thanks for the tip, Nitpicking Nerds :-) My opponents never played a flyer, never even generated an Inkling. I drew like 7 cards with Azami, Lady of Scrolls. Record with my losers goes to 3-6

Found some more for your FPP deck legendofa.

Definites:

Uphill Battle

Seal of Doom

Troll-Horn Cameo

Manacles of Decay

Afflict

Buried Alive

Last Rites

Skeletal Scrying

Questionable:

Arrest view might not be from the spearholder’s perspective. Tough call.

Magistrate's Scepter hands coming from off screen, but separate perspective.

Shoving Match might be from the viewpoint of the falling man; maybe not.

Mind Swords definitely first person, but the hands aren’t coming in from out of frame.

Seal of Cleansing, Seal of Fire, Seal of Removal and Seal of Strength all are a bit too far off center to be first person I think, but they’re all very similar to Seal of Doom which does feel FPP. Not sure if you want to add them for consistency’s sake.

Angel of Mercy unsure if it’s the perspective of whatever’s getting killed or not.

Urborg Emissary not sure if it’s the lizard’s perspective or not.

Harsh Judgment I think this qualifies due to the sword in the bottom right clearly not belonging to the soldier with the shield on the same side. I think we’re seeing this from the viewpoint of whoever is holding that sword closest to the camera.

Tigereye Cameo same deal as the seals mentioned above. The angle is off, but some of the other cameos do qualify.

Magma Burst we might be seeing things from the point of view of that poor unfortunate dinosaur.

Darigaaz's Charm, Crosis's Charm, Dromar's Charm, Rith's Charm and Treva's Charm are all ‘maybe but not quite’ perspectives.

Flarhoon13 on Derevi, Empyrial Tactician. No stax!

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

May 31

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician. No stax! 8-9 Loss, Did get off Pyxis of Pandemonium (I love this card too much to take it out of the deck lol) for 15, possibly could've won but Jon Irenicus, Shattered One foiled my Dismiss into Dream, negating the forced sacrifice. Still, had a couple fetch lands with Retreat to Coralhelm but didn't think to use it--I could have fetched and used the landfall trigger to tap down the potential attacker--this only occurred to me after a Kemba, Kha Regent deck killed me with a massively equipped Archfiend of the Dross, which Jon Irenicus, Shattered One had so kindly donated . .471

Pyxis of Pandemonium won me a couple games. Once, it got me enough attackers to fuel infinite turns via a Magistrate's Scepter. Another game, it undid a Vampiric Tutor. Mike took a couple minutes for his search, too, not realizing that the Pyxis of Pandemonium would exile his card. Hilarious! I held on to win that one!
