Crow_Umbra on Hinata, the Morning Star [Spellslinger Primer]

I think I run both Battlefield Thaumaturge and Magnus the Red in my list. Thaumaturge is definitely more mana efficient, but sometimes having a a beefy 4/5 flyer on board is nice for the offense and defensive capabilities.

Thanks for the suggestions Crow-Umbra! I like Command Beacon and Apostle's Blessing as defensive options. Hinata kinda lets everyone know what's going to happen, and yeah, it's a removal magnet, so more shields would be effective.

Eerie Interlude is nice, but it removes tokens. I haven't played with this enough to know how many tokens/ token creators are too much, so until I find the right balance, I might hold off on this one for now.

Between Magnus the Red or Battlefield Thaumaturge, which do you think is more efficient? I'd probably stick to Battlefield Thaumaturge for redundancy since the majority of my X spells only really scale with the number of targets, not the amount of mana spent. But that does depend on the type of spells one is running.

I've thought about Willbreaker before, but I decided against it. I've only got a few spells that would deal damage and not outright destroy a creature, so it takes up a slot that could otherwise be used to directly destroy things.

Very nice deck and primer! I have a Hinata deck that I've piloted a couple times, and let a friend borrow this past weekend. Hinata is super resilient. A few cards I'd recommend that I'm currently running in my list:

• Command Beacon - Helpful utility land to get Hinata back out if hated out multiple times.

• Apostle's Blessing - Essentially a free spot protection spell with Hinata out.

• Eerie Interlude - If you have at least one other creature out in addition to Hinata, it turns into a board protection for 1 lol.

• Veilstone Amulet - Protection redundancy, but adds a protective wrinkle to any of your instant speed spells.

• Magnus the Red - Redundant cost reduction in case Hinata gets taken off the field.

• Willbreaker - Gain control of any creature you target, if it isn't destroyed.

TypicalTimmy Ovika seems like a lot of fun with stuff like Hordeling Outburst, Magnus the Red, Hellrider, and all of the Impact Tremors effects
