Memory Lapse

Instant

Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on top of its owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard.

@SufferFromEDHD Most of the things that I'm going to counter are either targeted exile (path/swords, etc.) or board wipes that exile or apply -1/1 counters or sacrifice, or wipes for artifacts/enchantments. Hinder would just make them have to cast that counter worthy spell twice, or let me cast it which doesn't make sense if it's a wipe that'd kill my commander or my auras/equipment. Memory Lapse is interesting, but I'd probably not use it over Arcane Denial for the same reasons. I'd have a tough time finding a card to pull out for Wall of Denial, though it's another one I haven't seen before and is interesting.

Too hard keeping up with everything these days. They snuck this legend past me! Built in indestructible is awesome. Exploit that. Bontu's Last Reckoning is neat tech. Possibly cut 2 lands for 2 more mana rocks to round out the full playset. Damnation is a good start. Spreading Plague is gooder.

Infiltrator's Magemark opens up all your auras

Obsidian Battle-Axe auto attach, haste AND mills 2 cards deeper

Unholy Grotto counter to sacrifice effects which will be coming your way for sure

Memory Lapse + Lapse of Certainty

I see you have the cloudkey/foundry inspector + top + mystic forge combo. Moreover, you have the voltaic key + rings + everflowing chalice (4 counters) combo, nice!

Is treasure mage useful given you only have 2 targets for it?

Miscast doesn't seem too impactful, how has it been playing for you? Potential swaps/considerations include.... Remand, Memory Lapse and Misdirection . Misdirection is my favorite, it's kind of like a budget force of will, better in some ways, worse in others. It can redirect targeted removal, draw, extra turns and can "counter" counterspells, all while allowing you to bluff with no mana open. With all the draw in the deck, it doesn't seem hard to be able to pull off.

While not necessary, Imprisoned in the Moon is decent removal (especially on commanders, particularly red and black ones without enchantment removal). Clever Impersonator is just general good stuff to copy something like a zendikar resurgent or what have you.

I never get tired of threads like this... the artwork is one of my favorite things about this game; even when I was a child and had no clue how to play I used to love looking through my older brothers rubber banded together cards and just look at them... Memory Lapse always intrigued me for some reason.

Now as an adult I tend to get drawn into art for 3 main reasons

• sheer awesomeness Keldon Marauders

• pretty ladies Vulshok Sorcerer

• outright adorable Canyon Jerboa

In recent sets I think my favorite would probably be Chandra, Dressed to Kill... it's my first alternate/borderless art that I've ever picked up and I'm pretty fond of it.
