Oji, the Exquisite Blade

Legendary Creature — Human Monk

When Oji, the Exquisite Blade enters the battlefield, you gain 2 life and scry 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, you may put any number of them on the top or bottom of your library.)

Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, exile up to one target creature you control, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.

As of Jun 28, 2023, updates have been made to improve playability of this deck.

Playtesting with 2 opponents (3-player games) had revealed that the deck needed multiple methods that allow me to sacrifice Toluz, Clever Conductor when:

  • I'm ready to; maybe because I want to scoop up all the cards being held in exile (ability of this commander)
  • I need to short-circuit an opponent's attempt to exile Toluz, Clever Conductor

The deck now contains three cards to enable creature sacrifice:

Other (Additional) Deck Changes:

New MTG creature cards have been released which allow the player to momentarily exile their own creatures:

That's powerful for this deck, so those two cards have been added. They work well with the deck's function of sending permanents into exile, turn after turn:

I'm eager to play this deck again.

There's usually a couple cards a set that do it if it's not a full draft archetype; Unfinity had Now You See Me ..., DMU had Golden Argosy, and it was the UW draft theme in Baldur's Gate, with cards like Oji, the Exquisite Blade, Displacer Kitten and Pegasus Guardian.

If anything, the use of Phasing seems sparing and careful. I can't remember any recent phasing cards besides Slip Out the Back.
