TH3WAFFL3R on Melek, Spellcaster Extraordinaire

It always nice to see another Melek player in the wild. Here are some cards that have worked for me.

Mystical TutorGC and Personal Tutor are both insane in melek.

Also instants and sorceries that can be played as lands like Sink into Stupor  ^Flip and Valakut Awakening  ^Flip can be used place of normal land and makes melek's ability a little more consistent.

Library of Leng is another really good included if you got enough discard cards like Shreds of Sanity, Frantic Search, and Recall

Ritual are always good Seething Song is my favourite

In removal I've found Nevinyrral's Disk is the only way to get rid of enchantments. Submerge is free in 90% of games. Also cards like Pillage and Boomerang are good when cloned and can hurt your opponents mana base.

Anyways I hope that these suggestions are helpful :)

4 and 5 mana is too expensive for land destruction. by the time you're able to cast those, the opponent will already have the lands they need and it'll be turn 8 before Roiling Terrain can even do the same damage as a Lightning Bolt. you'd want cards like Thermokarst, Sinkhole, Molten Rain, Pillage, and Choking Sands. Cleansing Wildfire doesn't reduce your opponents mana, and so it's usually used in combination with indestructible lands to ramp yourself, rather than destroy an opponent's lands.

Ponza without Stone Rain or Pillage? Isn’t ponza basically just midrange land destruction? You even have it in your decks hubs. Still getting an upvote.

I have replaced the two copies of Pillage with two copies of Prismari Command, since the latter card is far more versatile, and is also an instant, rather than a sorcery, and doing so did slightly upset the balance of colors, in this deck, but not so much as to affect how it shall play.

In this case, the important bit is in the last couple sentences in the cited rules. If you cast Pillage, you can hold priority and cast Siege Smash, which more or less shuts down the stack so nobody gets priority (aside from a couple of weird exceptions that aren't directly relevant to the question). Once Siege Smash resolves, though, the stack opens up, you regain priority, and if you pass, your opponent then gains priority and can cast a counterspell targeting Pillage.

Can spells with Split Second on them be used to avoid countermagic?

if i cast Pillage can i hold priority/respond to it with Siege Smash before the opponents can respond with Spell Pierce?

I dont %100 Understand this Show

408.1c The active player gets priority at the beginning of most phases and steps, after any game actions are dealt with and abilities that trigger at the beginning of that phase or step go on the stack. No player gets priority during the untap step and players usually don’t get priority during the cleanup step (see rule 314.3). The player with priority may play a spell or ability, take a special action, or pass. If he or she plays a spell or ability, or takes a special action, the player again receives priority; otherwise, the next player in turn order receives priority. If all players pass in succession (that is, if all players pass without taking any actions in between passing), the top object on the stack resolves, then the active player receives priority. If the stack is empty when all players pass in succession, the phase or step ends and the next one begins

oh i look forward to it! no worries/judgment from me I'm always interested in seeing new brews (My deck is virtually just Kevin Mackey's GP winning deck from 2016 with Pillage and Winter Moon put in and a janky Chandra, the Firebrand) so im very much so looking forward to what you come up with!

I have replaced Pillage with Requisition Raid, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.65 to 3.61, which is very nice, as the newer card is far more versatile, although I do dearly wish that it was an instant, rather than a sorcery.
