DemonDragonJ on Kill them With Kindness

I have replaced Arcane Encyclopedia with Temple Bell , which did not affect the deck's average converted mana cost, but will save me mana over time, since the ability of the bell has no cost to activate it, and the fact that it causes all players to draw cards works with the "group hug" theme of this deck.

I like those suggestions!

My particular meta isn't too artifact/enchantment heavy, but Krosan Grip is still a great card!

Personally I'll keep Divine Reckoning over Hour of Revelation for now, I'm still testing. But I play in big groups and a three mana "screw you" is definitely a thing! Unfortunately it hits my permanents as well, so that puts it as a maybe for me.

Rites of Flourishing and Font of Mythos are great, and I can definitely see using the Font over Temple Bell . If there's one thing this deck loves, it's redundancy!

ShotgunCrocodile on Legends forcing card draw??

Teferi's Puzzle Box , Dragon Mage , Otherworld Atlas , Peer into the Abyss , Skyscribing , Temple Bell , Walking Archive and Whirlpool Warrior are probably cool cards for this deck.

As for protection someone said Avacyn already but there's also Bruna, the Fading Light and Gisela, the Broken Blade so you can have Brisela, Voice of Nightmares . As well as Gaddock Teeg , Shalai, Voice of Plenty and Akroma's Memorial .

TotesMcGoats on Kwain Bunny Hugs

Cephalid Illusionist + Nomads en-Kor is a neat combo but its not my favorite since they doesn't really do anything for you besides when you put the two together. I'm also not a huge fan of Laboratory Maniac because he doesn't do anything on his own and we have better versions of his effect. Jace, Wielder of Mysteries is definitely still playable but Thassa's Oracle 's ETB trigger is just so reliable that you don't really need the redundancy IMO.

If your plan is to deck yourself and win with Thassa's Oracle, I'd highly recommend picking up a Mind Over Matter to combo with Kwain, Itinerant Meddler or Temple Bell . Its a heckin' powerful card and on the Reserved List, so I'd pick one up now before it spikes like a lot of Reserved List cards have been doing lately.

I also see you're running Hullbreacher and Smothering Tithe which pair excellently with cards like Prosperity , Minds Aglow , Skyscribing , Fascination and even Folio of Fancies . This is the primary combo I use in my own Kwain deck! You dump a bunch of mana into drawing everyone X cards and get 3 times X Treasure back to dump into the NEXT Draw X Cards spell so you can chain them together bigger and bigger. Then you can win with Thassa's Oracle , mill everyone out with Fascination or Folio of Fancies , or my personal favorite, just force the game into a Draw by drawing out everyone's decks simultaneously with a big Draw X or a huge Windfall . But even without comboing off, all the Draw X spells are far more useful on their own than Cephalid Illusionist and Nomads en-Kor .

Tidal Barracuda is also a fun group huggy for your opponent's that works like a Leyline of Anticipation for you as well but also keeps your opponents from interfering when you try to combo off on your turn.

Hope this helps! Check out my own decklist if you like! I focus a LOT on playing a neutral political game. Wizzardrix (Kwain, Itinerant Meddler)

Tomorrow is so neat. Possessed Portal is strong with him (you'll get cards thanks to Tom's replacement effect while your opps won't) though it'd definitely draw hate haha.

You might consider these too: Uba Mask (similar to Possessed Portal; only poops on opps while Tom is out), Shared Fate, Zur's Weirding, Temple Bell, Geth's Grimoire, Jace's Archivist, Windfall, Teferi's Ageless Insight, Alhammarret's Archive, Thought Reflection, Worn Powerstone (gets Tom out on turn 4), Coalition Relic, Venser, Shaper Savant

Cards like Light of Promise, Sunbond, and Cradle of Vitality are pretty strong with a lifelink general.

You might consider these too: Vizkopa Guildmage, Helm of the Host, Howling Mine, Helm of Awakening, Blinkmoth Urn, Temple Bell, Font of Mythos, Lightmine Field, Horn of Greed, Coveted Jewel, Archfiend of Despair, Aetherflux Reservoir, Well of Lost Dreams

DemonDragonJ on Mind Over Matter

I have replaced Temple Bell with Kwain, Itinerant Meddler, which lowered the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.26 to 4.24, and the life gain from his ability will also be beneficial for this deck.

DemonDragonJ on Utopian Prosperity

I have replaced Temple Bell with Kwain, Itinerant Meddler, which lowered the average converted mana cost of this desk from 4.00 to 3.98, plus, the lifegain from his ability will work well with this deck, also.

I wonder if I should replace Arcane Encyclopedia with Arcane Signet? Drawing cards is nice, but they are useless without mana to cast them, and it would be nice to reduce the mana curve of this deck, even further.
