Teleportation Circle

Enchantment

At the beginning of your end step, exile up to one target artifact or creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under its owner’s control.

SaberTech on Make It Work

1 week ago

I think that at this point the deck list doesn't have a solid plan for ending the game. It has Gray Merchant of Asphodel but doesn't have a focus on building up your black devotion to really make it hurt your opponent when it lands. Torment of Hailfire could be a game-ender but without any big mana ramp in the deck it will be pretty late in the game before it can really do damage. I think that, going by the list, the deck's default is to try to play a control game by using Ketramose to cantrip a bunch of exile-based removal to help your big fliers get through. Ketramose is a strong card draw engine but you've focused so much on triggering it with removal spells that you haven't planned out a solid winning strategy or combination of cards.

Maybe the deck could be shifted into more of a Blink deck? BW has all sorts of good ETB effects for generating value and tokens. Cards like Teleportation Circle, Conjurer's Closet, and Eldrazi Displacer could be the core engine cards of the deck alongside Ketramose.

There are also a variety of creatures that let you exile cards from graveyards. Withered Wretch is pretty efficient since its ability is only 1 mana and it only removes one card, giving you more opportunities to draw cards off of Ketramose.

Craeter on Can't Catch Me, I'm the GingerBant Man! [Primer]

This is sweet (lol) ~ Bant is prolly my fav Tri color combo. It looks like you've got it pretty well dialed in for the particular game plan you've got going on.

Maybe consider is some targeted protection for your commander. Staples like Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots. Lesser known DFC Sejiri Shelter  Flip.

There are lots of options for messing with the opponents game plan too, but maybe not enough room in this deck for those. Things like more Counterspells, Control (Opposition is a fav of mine, especially with tokens), commander disabling Darksteel Mutation.

You've also got lots of ETB effects. Those could be abused with Brago, King Eternal, Teleportation Circle. I know the game plan is to just sac them off, but Blink is also an option for added value.

Board wipes could also be good in here. Being able to remove an untargetable enemy Voltron commander for instance, but also your own board, however you still have the Gingerbread men surviving the wipe. It could turn the tables in a clutch moment.

Just some stuff to think about. Honestly as it is the deck looks fantastic. Bant has a ridiculous amount of directions it can be taken.

Craeter on Galadriel, Blinker of Valinor

Lovely deck mate, Teleportation Circle would be good in here! Maybe more protection too: Giver of Runesfoil and Flawless Maneuver. Jeweled Lotus got banned from Commander recently, so could easily cut that.

Bookrook on Is dour port mage completely …

6 months ago

I have been looking at Dour Port-Mage and it seems like it would be ridiculous. Brago, King Eternal, modern and pioneer blink decks, yorion, even an Azorius blink variant of soul sisters. Ever heard of a card called Another Round? It’s bounce ability doesn’t seem that good but I guess it can dodge removal. In a good blink deck, it basically says, “draw a card whenever a you cast a spell, it becomes your end step, (thank you Teleportation Circle), when you attack, and you win the game if you cast a mass flicker. Does anybody else have anything to say about this?

Nunu312 on Mice with knives

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.

GregariousG on Manifest the Deadly Disguise

To dylan.575:

Kaust is definitely a commander that screams, “I’m working harder to do my thing than you are.” Yes, the draw of Kaust is the surprise element. There is nothing better than an opponent using panic removal on a manifested land. However, Kaust’s problem is that he supports a draft mechanic. As well, Sultai, particularly and , have more impactful morph creatures. However, there should be more resources as Magic will return to Tarkir in 2025. As well, I’m hoping that Disguise will be an evergreen mechanic. For me, this deck needs more ways to manifest and cloak. Ugin's Mastery, Veiled Ascension, and Mastery of the Unseen pull plenty of weight for me. Though it isn’t a permanent, Hide in Plain Sight is too good to not play.

You are 100% correct on your assessment for instants and sorceries. My build really wants to manifest and cloak the top card, which makes these two cards types even worse. Because of that, I use permanent types that do similar things to the instants and sorceries that were previously in the deck. The thing I found about Kaust, whether testing, playing, or research, is that Kaust has to make the gameplay experience “fair”. “Fair” for who? Fair for Kaust, and just Kaust. That means Kaust needs to slow down the game and shut off game elements he doesn’t utilize. The biggest change in success was shutting off ETB triggers. ETB triggers are simply too good. Almost every deck is playing a creature with ETB triggers, except Kaust for the most part. That isn’t fair and it shows. Torpor Orb, Hushbringer, and Doorkeeper Thrull are some of the best cards in the deck. You could add more Torpor Orb-effects, but I prefer these two because they have flying. You also notice that I’m playing some stax creatures, like Void Winnower and Yasharn, Implacable Earth. I'm gonna point out Yasharn because I don’t use any sacrifice elements outside of fetchlands. Though yahsarn’s ETB will be shut off, I will gladly pay that price to stop players from sacrificing treasures. I’m to the point where I want to add more stax elements to the deck. I agree with your assessment about “on attack” creatures, except for Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury. Phlage has been great both with and without a Torpor Orb on the field.

Your version has cost reduction, which is something I should put back into the deck. I was using Trinisphere but it was just ok. I thought about putting in Hydra Omnivore and Kamahl, Heart of Krosa in my version. I had Silverback Elder and it ended up on my “maybe” list. I’d be careful of Helm of Awakening cause I won’t want to reduce cost for everyone. I’m an old school player but I’m moving away from the auto inclusion of Lightning Greaves and/or Swiftfoot Boots. I’m finding that lots of ramp acts as recursion and protection for decks. What is Dawn Charm doing for you? I cut Expose the Culprit for Teleportation Circle and I have no regrets. Your top end is good. I like the new Eldrazi support that I added to mine. Because my Kaust builds just makes tons of mana, I can just hard cast Eldrazi. Let’s keep helping each other to make Kaust great!

Taida on Tom da Bomb - The Saga Continues

10 months ago

The deck looks very cool, love the idea. Maybe you can add some blinking effect, allowing to trigger again the first chapter of whatever saga you control, such as Flickerwisp and Teleportation Circle. Regarding sagas, I personally love The Modern Age  Flip, but I don't think it fits. Regardless, good luck with the deck, it is amazing.
