Have you considered Teferi's Puzzle Box? It feels like it would be a perfect combo really well with most of the draw punishers here. Hope this helps.

First Look

Update: Story is on, first chapter here

Update2: Where to Find previews

Update3: Image Gallery

Wall of text for my thoughts Show

Jin-Gitaxias: Use proliferate to turbo trough the chapters; there's probably some combo to be had. Actually kinda dissapointed that it doesn't bounce Phyrexians? It makes it randomly bad vs some opponents, and you could just recast your own Phyrexians with the third chapter anyway. (Also, the Saga side isn't Legendary.)

Breach the Multiverse: Not super exciting, but I like that black is getting more utilitarian mill, especially for the purpose of stealing stuff.

Ghalta and Mavren: Doesn't have to attack to trigger. Maybe take a page out of OG Ghalta's book and use cards like Fungal Sprouting and Miming Slime?

Heliod: No noncreature devotion shenanigans or indestructible! Guess he hasn't quite recovered from his Punishment. At least compleation gives +2 toughness. Anyway in EDH, Teferi's Puzzle Box sound pretty fun although continously paying the transform cost in addition to commander tax feels rough. Note that it's the sum total of the cards all opponents have drawn! (Also, I expect Daxos to take over as sun god, even if he's a whole lot more boring.)

Omnath: IDK why they made red center in the art while black just another hand, but whatever. As I understand it, it doesn't need it to be three or more different mana symbols, so you'll probably want to lean heavily black? Honestly, while the flavor is good, this card is kinda dissapointing seeing it's been effectively anticipated since 2015; mostly a fancy Phyrexian Arena that sometimes ramps.

Goro-Goro and Satoru: A french vanilla token or three doesn't excite me, but it's still more interesting than Ardoz as far as haste tribal goes.

Katilda and Lier: I have quite a bit to write about this, going to have to go in its own post.

Slimefoot and Squee: You know, the whole point of the last Squee story is that he gave up on respawning. Anyway, let's be grateful that Food Chain exiles instead of sacrifices, especially with Embalmer's Tools around.

Wheel and Deal: Seeing as New Capenna is a modern times-ish plane, I don't get why they didn't have the art feature actual playing cards.

The flavor sure rides the ongoing multiverse trend, but can't really blame MtG of all franchies for doing it.

Gitmog eating phyrexians seems like a fast track to compleation, but maybe Thalia's angelic spear provides immunity? Can't say the same for various other miscelanous beasties who rely on biting and such.

I'm guessing the various "Invasion of..."-art is for Battles? IDK about the wider dimensions though. (Also, Esper seems to be joining the other shards on the defense, you'd think they'd welcome their new metal overlords.)

The set symbol + the art for Collector Boosters seems to indicate that Elspeth will get Godsend back? Maybe fused with Luxior?

Judging from the art for the Commander Deck Growing Threat ({B}{W}), it seems Brimaz got compleated.

Oh no, Ragavan reprint

I would recommend cutting Howling Mine, Temple Bell, Fevered Visions, Dictate of Kruphix, Lore Broker - though it might look like "drawing more cards = win faster", they actually end up hurting you more than they help. Nekusar's biggest problem is that he gives your enemies plenty of opportunities to draw the cards they need to win--these cards only do small amounts of damage (and even then, only if you have other pieces on the board) while giving your opponents huge amounts of card advantage. That furthers their victory more than it furthers your own and ends up hurting more than it helps.

Instead, focus on cards that inflict massive amounts of draw simultaneously - Teferi's Puzzle Box, Dark Deal, Windfall, Winds of Change, and similar cards.

Teferi's Puzzle Box

FormOverFunction on Why Are Secret Lairs So …

3 months ago

While I’m not a fan of the secret lairs, they do formalize a market for something similar to altered art cards. Many players would probably be willing to pay for a sol ring that looks like Dr Strange’s weird portal-ring-thinger but are not willing to venture into the Wild West of hiring an artist through the internet. It’s not a perfect match (you don’t get to make a request for the cool idea you have for an altered card) but it gives you a level of personalization that was otherwise unavailable. It makes sense, and people do benefit, but I still don’t like it. Side note: I still want a Teferi's Puzzle Box altered to look like the puzzlebox from Hellraiser for my Torture deck... but I don’t want to attempt to hire a stranger to paint on an approximately 10 dollar card for a couple hundred dollars without a guarantee that it ends up looking like what I want it to (which is impossible). Additional side note: it will never cease to be hilarious to me how people hated how Homelands had multiple art versions for cards and now there’s almost no way to keep track of what set a card is even from.

Oh, and Teferi's Puzzle Box, if budget isn't an issue.

How are you using Pain Magnification? I see the intent of turning damage into discard, but none of your sources deal 3 damage at a time. As an example, if an opponent discards two cards to Teferi's Puzzle Box while you have Liliana's Caress out, it deals 2 damage twice, not 4 damage once.

Outside of that, this is really nice. As another suggestion, you could use some 1-mana discard. Anything from Duress to Inquisition of Kozilek to Thoughtseize, depending on available budget.
