Soulherder
Creature — Spirit
Whenever a creature is exiled from the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on this
At the beginning of your end step, you may exile another target creature you control, then return to the battlefield under its owner's control.

Hey! I'm reading through this deck and I don't think the blink stuff works the way you think it does.
Most blink cards like Brago, King Eternal say "exile target creature... return it to the battlefield under it's owner's control"
This means that if you've stolen a creature with Sen Triplets, and blink it with a Soulherder, you'll be giving it back to your opponent.
There are some blink cards, like Cloudshift, that say "exile target creature you control... return it to the battlefield under your control," but those are in the minority, and most creatures don't do that. This means that all of the blink synergy is a bit of a nombo with your theft cards.
Cool deck though! I gave it a +1.

Im loving this list so far. have you had many games with it?
I used to play a U/W eldrazi list and Soulherder was a real MVP. Would you consider shaving some Eldrazi Skyspawner to include some copies?

Broken Golem Foundry

I wanted to help more than what I said the other day so I thought about this deck and it does seem extremely slow. There's a couple ways you can go about this. There's an infinite combo with Golem Foundry based around Banishing Knack + Battered Golem + Memnite the combo is you keep returning and recasting an artifact an infinite amount of times giving you an infinite amount of change counters.
The other route you could go would be to take out the Golem Foundry and just focus on the splicer creatures like Blade Splicer Darksteel Splicer Master Splicer and Wing Splicer using cards that blink them in and out like Soulherder or Ephemerate this would also give you more golem creature tokens while using much less Mana than to slowly charge up your Golem Foundry I really hope this helps

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.

Some thoughts:
-
It really feels like this deck wants Soulherder in it. I’d be dropping the quantity of Thassa, Deep-Dwelling down to 1-2 to make room for this more cmc-efficient card.
-
Damn feels out of place here, in that you’re unlikely to ever want to overload it, and the 2 black pips can be awkward with your mana base. I would think Fatal Push would just be a better card in almost every situation.

If you want to lean more into tokens, Intangible Virtue, Inspiring Leader, Geist-Honored Monk, and Phyrexian Rebirth and the new Sunfall as board wipes are all options.
If you're going into Spirit tribal, my suggestions are going to be more expensive. Hallowed Haunting, Kindred Discovery, Cavern of Souls, and Vanquisher's Banner are good.
Brago, King Eternal and Soulherder lend themselves to a blink deck.

I think Cloudform and Lightform are probably too slow. Spirited Companion and Skyclave Apparition seem to fit those slots better. Some other considerations for this style of deck are Lae'zel's Acrobatics, Farewell, Solitude, Recruiter of the Guard, Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Soulherder, Preston, the Vanisher, Ephemerate, and Conjurer's Closet.

Ephara Remastered *PRIMER FINALLY*
6 months ago
Nice to see another Ephara player lol. Here are my thoughts:
-
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite- I ran this version of Elesh for a time. She is a powerful card, but I never found she really did much for the deck when I ran her. In my experience, 7 mana was too high a cost to pay for no recurrable effect (I prefer to have effects that I can reuse by flickering), and it usually left me with less mana to spend during my opponents’ turns, which I found to be more important than being able to swing for damage. Why not run the new Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines, instead? She pairs a lot better with our EtB effects.
-
Lavinia of the Tenth- Cool card, and I get the concept behind her inclusion, but I personally never ended up running her. I prefer to remove creatures with stuff like Skyclave Apparition or Reflector Mage, or even just spot removal, than temporarily stopping them while keeping them on the field.
-
Ledger Shredder- I don’t really see what this card does for you. Like with Elesh Norn, I think it’s better to run creatures with EtB effects you can reuse with flicker effects.
-
Nezahal, Primal Tide- Same as above, plus the casting cost is way too high for my liking. Why not run something like Deadeye Navigator instead if you want a repeatable blink?
A few cards I’d recommend are Ephemerate, Momentary Blink, and Ghostway. The first two are very good instant blink cards, useful for reusing stuff like Reflector Mage on the spot for removal or Cloudblazer for some draw before your turn. You also get two uses out of them, so they’re good value and flexible cards. Ghostway is slightly better than Teferi's Protection in this deck imo, since you not only save your creatures, but you get their EtB effects again at end of turn. You don’t have the added benefit of protecting yourself from damage, though, so for that, I’d recommend Selfless Squire. Very underrated but super useful card in my experience; I once stalled a game out against a board full of 30+ dragons and only 3 life because of this card lol. Not a one-off occurrence either, as I’ve had several games where I’ve been able to keep myself from certain death by constantly flickering her effect; she’s incredible when combined with Archaeomancer and Ghostly Flicker!
Other creatures I’d recommend are Watcher for Tomorrow, Cloudblazer, and Saltskitter. The first two are great value engines with Soulherder and Thassa, Deep-Dwelling. I held off for a long time on using Saltskitter, but when I did, man did he put in the work. I was pretty much drawing cards every turn. There’s also Orvar, the All-Form, though this pretty much does the same thing as Displacer Kitten. Having those extra bodies is nice, though, so it’s up to you. Could even just run both lol.
Oh, and you may as well add Altar of Dementia to complete your Reveillark and Karmic Guide package.
tl;dr focus more on creatures with EtB effects for more flicker value, and a few more blink spells.
