Obelisk of Undoing

Artifact

, : Return target permanent you own and control to your hand.

I agree with most of these inclusions except Tidal Flats. It's one of those weird rare blue pillow-fort cards; the small tax is annoying as hell and repeatable first strike in blue is just bizarre. Certainly has its uses unlike most of the other listed cards here, haha. Well, maybe Obelisk of Undoing. Colorless bounce for any type of permanent isn't very common, not to mention it's repeatable... I think it's bad but not the worst.

Speaking of "outclassed by everything", Obelisk of Undoing and Rakalite are almost completely useless :)

Horde of Notions, thank you for the comment! I did add Identity Thief, but just wanted to let you know that it still needs another piece to go infinite, since Medomai enters the battlefield before Identity Thief stops being Medomai. This means that the legend rule will force you to get rid of one. Luckily, we have Capsize and Obelisk of Undoing to make the combo infinite.

Dismantling Blow is good, but I still like Disenchant more since I'm not really worried about card advantage when I play it. However, saving mana each time is worth playing Disenchant over it.

The only three drop counterspells I play are ones that also cantrip so that spending a lot of counterspells in one round does not completely empty my hand of all my answers.

Replaced Obelisk of Undoing with Azorius Guildmage.

TheRedGoat: Just be glad that you live in an era where Wizards no longer deliberately prints bad cards to put into packs. Pyramids, Shahrazad, Obelisk of Undoing...

I actually never got the chance to cast it for zero, and yeah I was sad when I found out you can't cast it for zero lol

I also found out about some infinite combos involving Medomai that you may like:

(Humility or Darksteel Mutation) + (Capsize or Obelisk of Undoing) + Medomai: Playing the first enchantment can make Medomai lose all abilities, so after attacking with him this way, the second card can return that first card and give him his abilities back, which means you can get an extra turn and hit again.

Chronomantic Escape + a way to give Medomai double strike, like Fireshrieker or Silverblade Paladin or True Conviction + Medomai: right before you pass turn to an opponent on your last extra turn with Medomai, cast the Escape. No one can attack you until your next turn, and on your next turn, you will be getting two extra turns, which means you will cast it again and prevent anyone from ever attacking you.

@ bennybubbles: in mono black your best bet is to use artifacts to bounce your Conspiracy and replay it.

Depending on what your deck is Blood Clock/Umbilicus, Obelisk of Undoing or Cloudstone Curio might work best for you.
