Sword of Feast and Famine

Artifact — Equipment

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from black and from green. ((Remember the acronym debt.) Equipped creature can't be damaged, enchanted, equipped, blocked or targeted by anything black or green. Anything black or green attached to equipped creature immediately falls off.)

Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card and you untap all lands you control.

Equip (: Attach this to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature this card is attached to leaves the battlefield.)

Sword of Feast and Famine is the perfect Sword for this. I like how you were not distracted by the others.

Mana Geyser great card. Is it already performing well or does it need some red assistance via War's Toll or some similar effect?

Fury of the Horde for those times you just don't have the mana to fire breath your way to victory.

What helps me with making cuts to a deck in situations like this is to categorize these spells... find out how many boardwipe sweepers, protection/counterspell, ramp enablers ect ect and follow up with finding "the right number" of each feels most appropriate... so if you have say 10 of each but you want to trim to 8 just take out the "strictly worse/more situational" cards.

It can feel daunting but I find this to be the best way for me.... the single card that grabbed my eye to cut was Sword of Feast and Famine

Thank you for your suggestions. I considered them and here is what I was able to come up with:

Riptide Laboratory - Believe it or not I'm trying to cut down on the number of non-basic lands for this deck, which is why some of the maybe board lands are sitting on the side. That's a good contender though so I'll add it to the maybe pile.

Mask of Memory - That's a good point. While i normally see extra card draw as never a bad thing, this deck does have a lot. Replaced with Sword of Feast and Famine. Personal favorite sword and it should help to play some of those extra cards that are being drawn.

Drown in the Loch - Swapped it in for Urza's Incubator

Otawara, Soaring City - Swapped in for an Island

Faerie Harbinger - Wife specifically nixed this card. She doesn't like tutors all that much and nearly nixed Demonic Tutor too. I wanted to cry.

Wish I could upvote this more than once! Land strategies in EDH are my kryptonite. Here's where I am currently at in 43lands.dec exploration: https://tappedout.net/mtg-deck-folders/landsdec-1/

I know it's situational, but I think Sword of Feast and Famine is my preferred favorite, especially given my meta. In addition, Kellan, the Fae-Blooded fetchs you combo pieces. Tiana, Ship's Caretaker allows you to retain equipments against removal. Valduk, Keeper of the Flame makes a pretty good alternate win con.

UPDATE

So I've changed a few cards out for some upgrades that I think will benefit this deck, and just make more sense for the synergy of this deck. (and it's name sake lol)

I swapped around the following:

Forest for Oakhollow Village *Basic Forest for Oakhollow I feel is a no brainer.

Forest for Thornvault Forager *Basic Forest for Thornvault I feel is a good upgrade as as it's a great mana ramp, and a source for Squirrel fetching.

Sword of Feast and Famine for Honored Dreyleader *The biggest reason for getting rid of Sword of Feast and Famine is because of the protection from green. It didn't dawn upon me that protection from green affected my spells too. Also, Honored Dreyleader is just an awesome Squirrel creature I just learned about.

Return of the Wildspeaker for Animal Friend *Return of the Wild Speaker is a pretty expensive card for what it does. Yeah, it's really good at drawing cards, but I feel I have enough card draw and fetches in this deck as is, and I feel for the cost, Animal Friend will find more use especially on Toski, Bearer of Secrets as he has to attack each turn if able.

Nylea, God of the Hunt for Rootcast Apprenticeship *I was for the most part using Nylea as a trample buff, but I've got a lot of that. Nylea is also a bit expensive for this purpose in this deck. Rootcast has a lot more use for it's cost as well.

legendofa I’m back with some more. As always, weed out whatever you deem unsuitable. Sometime’s it’s difficult to tell what I’m looking at in some of these cards, sort of inverted pareidolia.

Probables:

•Umara Raptor normally I’d say the perspective is a little strange, but after watching a few falconer videos on YouTube this is indeed the usual positioning of the arm.

•Cast Through Time

•Semblance Anvil reflection is reversed, but I think this one probably fits the criteria.

•Trigons of Corruption, Infestation, Mending, Rage, Thought.

Doubtful:

•Disfigure (zendikar set, idk the abbreviation offhand to pull up the correct version here) perspective is questionable

•Expedition Mapfoil we might be looking through someone’s eyes, but it’s certainly not whoever those hands belong to.

•Recurring Insight this one doesn’t make any sense. How can we be looking into the reflection of someone’s eye and see ourselves looking in the opposite direction? Maybe this was from a scrapped M.C. Escher crossover set

•Sphinx-Bone Wand hands, and probably FPP, but almost certainly not from the point of view of whoever that hand belongs to.

•Suffer the Past if the tendrils count as hands, yes. If not, nah

•World at War angle is too low I think.

•Dissipation Field Honestly not sure. Are we looking through that woman’s eyes and seeing her own reflection? Or are we seeing a distorted image of her inside said dissipation field?

•Furnace Celebration I don’t think there’s anything here, but I’m not 100%.

•Sword of Body and Mind and Sword of Feast and Famine and Sword of War and Peace could potentially be FPP, but that would be strange.

•Darksteel Relic the angle is off

•Rally the Forces is like Furnace Celebration. Not positive, but probably nothing here.

I think the first thing to do is lose Teleportation Circle and Nahiri's Resolve. You don't actually have any enter battlefield effects that could use them, so the only thing they can do is de-equip your artifacts, which happens when they leave the battlefield. Offspring wouldn't work with it as that happens during casting.

Also Hammer of Purphoros seems like an expensive way to get haste, and I don't know when you would want a 3/3 golem from it. Similarly Ring of Thune looks cheap and good, but realistically wont have the time to put that many counters on things (it's more suited to a +1 counter/proliferate deck). Sword of the Squeak Is in a bit of the same boat, you only have about 5 1/1 creatures... so it goes best if you are generating tokens that make it work.

There are a few staples of equipment/aura decks that you're missing, Siguarda's Aid being the big one. Quite a few of them are creatures like Reyav, Master Smith, but we're trying to stick with the mouse theme so stuff like Brass Squire can help things work and looks significantly more mousy.

Another one is the Sword of series, the big one being Sword of Feast and Famine but I feel like you've already gone through them (be sure to remember that protection from red/white will remove your own enchantments). A moderate staple is also Shadowspear just because it lets you pierce hexproof and indestructible when you need to, on top of just being good and cheap equipment. The world of equipment is very wide.

I'm not seeing a huge amount of card draw, which means you will often be sitting there playing your one card per turn and losing agency in the game because of it. Puresteel Paladin (sadly not a mouse) is one of the big equipment draw cards, but I've found 10 sources of card draw to be good, meaning you should have at least one by turn 3 (even if you don't play it until later). I'm also fond of effects like Collector's Vault and Cathartic Reunion, which may be card neutral, but are reasonably cheap and let you play the right cards instead of just the cards you have.
