Thank you October_The_First! Your username is awesome on it's own and then it being in red font makes me think of the movie Red October which I'll have to watch again now. :)

I hear you on the importance of Flash. I just recently experimented with dropping Savage Summoning, another favorite Flash card, for The Great Aurora. While this deck is light on removal, and The Great Aurora helps there while adding another win condition to combo out on one explosive turn, it may still be a win more card. Let's come back to this voltron vs combo balance.

For me it comes down to the total protection package for Omnath and how often he even sees play on the battlefield. Currently there are 8 protection cards:

1. Sword of Feast and Famine
2. Asceticism
3. Heroic Intervention
4. Nim Deathmantle
5. Soul of New Phyrexia
6. Vedalken Orrery
7. Yavimaya Hollow
8. Winding Canyons

I do consider Flash protection and even ran Yeva for a while because her being an elf also helped Priest of Titania and Allosaurus Shepherd. But sometimes she was a straight dead card because I had better protection online or she didn't help with board wipes. Don't get me wrong. There were times where she was valuable but it felt closer to 1 out of 3 rather than 2 out of 3. I also noticed that I never tutored for her.

Let's go back to the first point. If I'm honest I don't play Omnath with voltron as my primary strategy. I tend to play for combo wins first and let Voltron do incidental damage along the way or rely on it as a backup plan. Some games I find I only play Omnath for draw!

I'm still finding the balance between combo and voltron and will keep Yeva and Vivien in mind and the Maybe board.

Thank you for the input!

Greater Auramancy, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and Soul of New Phyrexia are all ways of keeping your shrines protected.

Also, Starfield of Nyx, Open the Vaults, Sun Titan, Faith's Reward, and Replenish are all great ways to recover your shrines from your graveyard.

So you might think if adding even more mana rocks like Mind Stone, Thran Dynamo, Hedron Archive, Worn Powerstone, Blinkmoth Urn, Everflowing Chalice, Gilded Lotus, Palladium Myr, or Iron Myr. You should be ramping as much as possible, you could even consider Extraplanar Lens if budget is no concern. You could consider cards like Myr Retriever, Goblin Welder, Buried Ruin, Goblin Engineer, Junk Diver, purphorous, bronze-blooded or Daretti, Scrap Savant to bring artifacts back from the graveyard. You could consider Mystic Forge, Planar Bridge, or Kuldotha Forgemaster for getting artifacts out of your deck and onto the battlefield. Darksteel Forge, Soul of New Phyrexia, or Eldrazi Monument so you're killing your artifacts only when you want to. Unwinding Clock it's good if you combine it with flash from Shimmer Myr or Vedalken Orrery. Ugin, the Ineffable or Foundry Inspector to reduce the casting cost of your artifacts without affecting the cmc. You could go full ham on some big artifact creatures like Myr Battlesphere, Meteor Golem, Duplicant, Ancient Stone Idol, Mycosynth Golem, Darksteel Colossus, Blightsteel Colossus, Platinum Angel, or Platinum Emperion just to name a few. Other ideas might be Hellkite Tyrant to steal your opponents artifacts Mycosynth Lattice to turn your non-artifacts into artifacts, Illusionist's Bracers or Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient to copy bosh's abilities, Swiftfoot Boots and/or Lightning Greaves to protect your big guy, Voltaic Key or Manifold Key to untap your rocks, or Mind's Eye or incidental card draw. Some lands to think about are Myriad Landscape, Darksteel Citadel, and Phyrexia's Core but not much else.

As per suggestions to take out : Catalyst Elemental, Destructive Digger, Forge Armor, Walking Atlas, Nahiri's Wrath, Wily Goblin (use Dockside Extortionist), Azor's Gateway  ^Flip, Furious Rise, Generator Servant, Pirate's Pillage, Scarecrone, Filigree Familiar just to name a few.

I would like to start by saying I'm not trying to say your deck is bad, just trying to give you a lot of ideas to go off of and pointing out things that don't really go with the theme of the deck, which is ramp super hard, drop a bunch of big threats, drop bosh and kill opponents. Secondly, I am not a competitive deck builder by any means, I just use the data I have and suggest the things I like. I actually like seeing gosh in the command zone.

Hey, I like the deck. Two thoughts. Add Isochron Scepter and use it with Dramatic Reversal. Unlimited mana from mana rocks. Second make your lands indestructible with Avacyn, Angel of Hope and/or Soul of New Phyrexia. You get to keep your lands.

MTGBurgeoning on I Got 99 Counterspells But Kozilek Ain't One

Some updates for Kozilek, the Great Distortion:

Whispersilk Cloak, Manifold Key, Silent Arbiter, Strionic Resonator and Basalt Monolith have been added to the deck.

Bane of Bala Ged, Soul of New Phyrexia and three Wastes have been removed.

Currently I do not have an available copy of Voltaic Key. When it becomes available it will replace a Wastes.

Through play-testing and game-play, Strionic Resonator and Manifold Key have been the heavy-hitters. The ability to copy triggered abilities with Strionic Resonator has made eldrazi cast and annihilator triggers game-ending. Additionally, pairing Manifold Key with Strionic Resonator is unimaginably powerful! The ability to untap Mana Vault and Basalt Monolith has been very valuable too, and an unblockable Blightsteel Colossus is just mean!

I have not drawn Whispersilk Cloak yet.

Silent Arbiter has been helpful in containing combat numbers.

I have not missed the three Wastes.

Bane of Bala Ged's attack trigger has not been missed.

There has not been a moment in any game where I thought to myself "I could really use Soul of New Phyrexia" when compared to the recently added cards.

Thank you again for your suggestions and taking time to peruse this deck list! It has been helpful!

Most helpful. I'll try dropping the four Wastes, Bane of Bala Ged and Soul of New Phyrexia in exchange for Manifold Key, Voltaic Key, Basalt Monolith, Strionic Resonator, Silent Arbiter and Whispersilk Cloak. I'll give these changes a whirl though play-testing and game-play and share the results. Thank you again for your feedback and well-worded comments!
