Switched from Elsha and SS to Leveler and Oracle —Feb. 8, 2020

Since the release of Thassa's Oracle decks have been abusing the card's powerful ETB ability. After extensive playtesting, I have come to the conclusion that this combo is better than using Elsha + SS.

How about the leveler + oracle of thassa line? It bypass the hate pieces for artifact like ouphe and null rod. Also bypass rule of law and cursed totem.

siops02 I have been testing those cards with decent success. When you pull them out with divergent it is great, quick and speedy instant speed win. However, they are both kinda awful outside of trying to win the game. But, that's the give and take I guess. It already feels really bad to not have any of the other good creatures, With Oracle and Leveler, you now have no good creatures you can use to grind or help propel you to win. With that said, I do like the cards, and i think they need a little more testing before i can say which combo is better or worse. My current position is that, if you are in a meta that runs ouphe and null rod (or other staxy pieces), you should most likely be on oracle and leveler. Otherwise, Maybe stay with SS and Elsha. This opinion may change.

SCV_Pilot, I'm not a fan of Cloud Key because we don't really need to do any more with the top combo, it has now really become just a backup win condition.
