Thief of Sanity

Creature — Specter

Flying

Whenever Thief of Sanity deals combat damage to a player, look at the top 3 cards of that player's library. Exile one of those cards face-down, then put the rest into that player's graveyard. You may look at and cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any colour to cast that spell.

Thanks for the suggestions! I run Bloodchief's Thirst is always a solid option, and if I find I'm running into a lot more small creatures than large, I'll swap it in for Tyrant's Scorn , but TS's ability to deal with larger threats immediately and its instant speed means it gets the nod for me in that slot at least for now. Thief of Sanity is a card I love and I heavily considered for this list, but it doesn't really fit into our gameplan trying to buff our surveil creatures.

I am going to go against the fold and make a case against Nightveil Specter --its ability is frankly mediocre. Imagine if a card read: "Draw a card that you might not have the color of mana to cast, and also that you will lose access to if this creature gets removed." Would you play that card?

There is a reason Thief of Sanity is playable. "Look at the top three cards of your library, some of which you cannot play, but at least one you probably will be able to, then put that card into your hand" is a whole lot better than what Nightveil Specter gives you.

Hey, out of those choices Nightveil Specter . You already have the better creature for this effect though in Thief of Sanity thus a different card could be added instead?

Other choices that would be upgrades for your deck are Opposition Agent and Notion Thief . These cards are insane especially when you can control what an opponent casts. Cast opponent's card advantage tutors and draw spells to completely take away their advantage and use it for yourself.

If you're looking for more solid mutate targets, Thief of Sanity was one of my favorite things to mutate Brokkos over in the brawl deck I had on Arena until I stopped playing
