Nice deck. I have had a TON of luck with Erratic Portal and Crystal Shard. Multi applications with them.

Hey gobucks, thanks for the suggestions. I think that while I really like both of those effects, when choosing between those two and Cloudstone Curio, I'd rather have the Curio, since it is more beneficial to me to be able to repeat the effect multiple times in a turn to my own benefit.

I agree with the Curio. I'd consider either Primal Command, Green Sun's Zenith, Survival of the Fittest and/or Tooth and Nail (though this would be my last drop). While I know those are good cards, I think having 4 PLUS your general is a bit overkill on the fetch. Don't get me wrong those are all GREAT cards and EDH staples, but you could have more ways to abuse and re-abuse ETB effects that you already have. Not to mention the countless times I have sharded/portaled my own creatures in response to them being targeted or my opponents creatures should they ever tap out (additionally so with the Muse and Prophet)

I have had luck with them and I think they are sorely underrated. If you really don't like them, don't add them. My feelings won't be hurt. :)

On a different note: Try Ixidron. With Curio (and other effects) its a great way to 'board wipe' as you can flip your cards back over....

I have a Momir deck as well. It's my favorite deck by FAR to play. I like to look at other builds and I think you also did a great job.

Primal Command is less for tutoring, and more for recursion. It's an easy way to get my grave back into my library if I need to recur my threats. It just has the added bonus of also doing other nice things, like removal and tutoring.

The utility of the other three more than make up for the redundancy. They are rare enough that they're not drawn too often, but when they are, they are very useful. Tooth and Nail and Green Sun's both put the creature onto the battlefield, and Survival... well, it's good enough to be banned in Legacy. I could definitely consider cutting one of these (The first to go would likely be Tooth and Nail or Green Sun's) if there was anything particularly good that would replace it. Luckily, we have the UG Commander deck coming out with the enemy-colored commanders. I daresay that'll be of great use to me.
