Icbrgr on Sneak Orb

I really like this! Seems really powerful but Winter Orb just feels out of place in my opinion; why not just a full playset of Sneak Attack? maybe something like Miscalculation to flex as either interaction or just help dig for combo to win?

Arekku you are right about that. Somewhere I made a Miscalculation when writing out the combo. I will fix it later, thanks for noticing!

The deck looks way better! I am not sure thought collapse is worth the extra {1} to mill three cards over something as efficient as Counterspell. There's also Miscalculation and Memory Lapse that could fit the bill in terms of general counters. I could also see Negate or Dispel seeing some maindeck play.

I don't understand the inclusion of chromatic sphere. If you were looking for non spell card draw Waker of Waves would be a better choice. I like the budget restriction you have going, makes your choices more spicy. Btw Miscalculation is the same price as Mana leak and has a better text box for this style of deck.

Polaris on Dredge + Cycling

Dredge is a replacement effect you can apply any time you would draw a card, so an ordinary cycling effect like Miscalculation will count. Instead of drawing the card as part of the cycle, you dredge one from your graveyard.

To answer your second question, no. If you can't take the action of milling N cards, the dredge action can't be completed and you'll just draw a card. This is probably to prevent people from doing exactly what you're proposing here and just never decking themselves. See Rule 702.52 (Dredge):

    702.52a Dredge is a static ability that functions only while the card with dredge is in a player’s graveyard. “Dredge N” means “As long as you have at least N cards in your library, if you would draw a card, you may instead mill N cards and return this card from your graveyard to your hand.”
    702.52b A player with fewer cards in their library than the number required by a dredge ability can’t mill any of them this way.

I've reworked this precon a few times and have a pretty good success rate now. I've never been much of a control player but I'm getting better. First few games were frustrating because of all the cycling lands that come into play tapped. I run only the cycling lands with a single mana to cycle. Adding basics is great, once you play tectonic reformation you can cycle all the unused lands. Complicate and Miscalculation are great additions if you need to protect yourself or another player.... Because diplomacy

MtG-Crash on [PDH] Tatyova Combo

Big Update 21.5.2020: I included the Tidal Bore Combo together with Whispers of the Muse. That makes the 4 landdroppers combo pieces and takes away a lot of pressure from Ghostly Flicker. Plus it balances the power of the Transmute tutors, because searching for cmc2 now gives you Tidal Bore which comboes with a landdropper (plus Sanctuary).

Next I finally made the decision to cut Trinket Mage and Relic. I have cut Relic before but didnt update it here. It felt good and then I asked myself why I am still running Trinket Mage. It really took me some time of testing until I was sure this decision is correct.

Next thing is that I wanna make a list of cards that I have tried out and that got cut somehow. There is 2 lists: First a list of cards that are very interchangeable with cards in the deck. Its just a matter of what you expect from your playgroup. Both powerlevel wise as well as archetype wise. Second there is a list of cards Im definitely sure that do not belong in the deck even it might surprise some people :)

LIST OF CARDS THAT CAN BE USED IF YOU WANT TO:

Tutors: Shoreline Ranger, Vedalken AEthermage, Trinket Mage + Relic of Progenitus

Protection: Broken Fall, Fortitude, Vines of Vastwood, Ranger's Guile, Condescend, Rethink, Miscalculation

General: Temporal Fissure, Lignify, Frantic Search, Sleight of Hand, Sakura-Tribe Elder

LIST OF CARDS THAT DO NOT BELONG IN THE DECK: Mulldrifter, Wormfang Newt, Tilling Treefolk, Groundskeeper
