I Am Leaving {WU}{B}

Instant

Destroy target creature. If that creature's power was less than 3, draw a card.

// The Fighter Still Remains {WU}{B}

Instant

Target creature gains indestructible until end of turn. If that creature's power was greater than 3, draw a card.

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade

Make a new card in the "Pact" cycle (Pact of Negation, Pact of the Titan, Slaughter Pact, Summoner's Pact, Intervention Pact)

Okay, so the infect is practically gone from this deck, and with it go most the artifacts that can't be used for the red free spells. I sill have the Inkmoths because I think they're good for my turn 2 consistency with the built in evasion, but Pact of the Titan giving me the 4/4 for free should step things up a bit, and the 4/4 body made me look back to the comment klone13 to go for a bigger shoal bonus, and taking the biggest one I could find in Volcanic Salvo puts me in a position where if I'm on the draw the 4/4 titan can swing pretty reasonably for 20 outright. Another newer haste enabler in Samut's Sprint was added to help with hopefully getting it off the ground since infect is now more of an alt wincon. Pulled Red Elemental Blast out of the sideboard since the deck cant afford the mana opting for Pact of Negation instead, I can't pay the cost but if the deck is working right, even if I have to delay a turn, I shouldn't be worried about having to pay the cost, either I win when I'm playing the cards or I have already lost.

I think Pact of the Titan is seriously slept on in this deck, Battle Cry Goblin doesn't turn it on but the other 8 whack effects do. Back when this deck ran Burning-Tree Emissary Pact could enable some crazy turn 2 kills, or my favorite would be to bolt your opponent in response to your own pact triggers.

I would also recommend cutting Manamorphose, Orcish Bowmasters is pretty punishing as is so there's no need to enable extra triggers

wallisface I agree that finding Madcap Experiment is a concern. I've recently been experimenting with dropping the other creatures and adding Indomitable Creativity, which has been promising, but not necessarily the strict upgrade I thought it would be yet. But I don't think I have my creature or artifact token generators quite right yet. I'm using Pact of the Titan, which has just not been good.

I think the comparison to Indomitable Creativity (the deck) is an interesting one, but I think the important difference is that this deck is much more of a combo deck than Indomitable Creativity is. The angel payoff is arguably higher than the archon's, but the archon doesn't immediately lose you the game when it leaves play. Maybe more card draw would help me draw into more protection for the angel, but I don't think more early-game interaction is the way to go.

Ha! No worries and glad to plant the seeds of intrigue with Hive Mind (my bad on misreading your list, I thought you had that and Suture Priest in your brew already). Also, agreed that Herd is high CMC. I ran a more jankier version of Pheldy.

One amazing combo with Hive Mind, since spells have to be copied is Pact of Negation or Pact of the Titan (or any of the Pacts really) when your opponents don't have the right colors to pay the cost during their upkeep they lose the game! I run the combo in my Izzet brew. It's spicy.

Yes, you can. They are both instants or sorceries with CMC 0. As a reminder, paying or losing on your next upkeep is part of the resolution of Pact of the Titan. So you will not be able to dodge it with Panoptic Mirror.

Is it possible to imprint Pact of the Titan or Profane Tutor on Panoptic Mirror? Why or why not?

HeavyPlay on Gideon Turns (It Up)

After minimal playtesting I'm finding this deck preforms best with a creature + 2 lands in starting hand and really needs a way to filter/draw cards.

I've made the following swaps to help make the deck more consistent:

:::::::::::

IN

• 4 Dragon's Rage Channeler - top deck filtering every time you play an extra turn or pact is very imPACTful you could say...
• 2 Gideon Blackblade

OUT

• 2 Glorious End - May adjust this, but 9 extra turn spells seems pretty reliable still.
• 1 Pact of the Titan
• 1 Giver of Runes - Protection/giving unblockable is nice but DRC is better
