A Blink/Spirit tribal deck that makes plenty use of the neat Foretell mechanic.

Blink and exile effects allow for Ranar's token generation ability to proc easily, while being able to protect your growing gang of geists. Spirits have very powerful tribal support options, so the deck aims to take full advantage of them to give you more offensive, defensive, and even utility options. Additionally, Foretell basically lets you save any counters or answers you may need later, while synchronizing nicely with the exile theme.

This deck is still in the prototyping phase, so it and my notes on it will be subject to change as it nears completion.

Core Cards

See More Show

Cosmos Charger = Allows for flash-speed Foretelling

Drogskol Captain = Obvious spirit tribal staple

Ethereal Valkyrie = Allows non-Foretellable cards to be Foretold

Geist of Saint Traft = Honorary Lieutenant; Decent Hexproof body with a self-exiling angel

Hero of Bretagard = Gets bigger with each foretold card and exile effect

Rest in Peace = Allows you to benefit even from your creatures dying or discard effects thanks to its exile effect

Saw it Coming = Foretell-able counterspell. Just super strong as is

Saltskitter = Janky method of triggering Ranar's token generation effect

Skullclamp = Potent card draw tool, especially given Ranar's token generation effects

Teleportation Circle = Consistent Blink engine that can even target mana rocks for off-turn use

Venser, the Sojourner = The perfect Planeswalker for this deck -- a blink engine that makes creatures unblockable

Combos and Synergy

See More Show

Archaeomancer + Deadeye Navigator/Blink effect = repeatable recovery of spent Foretell instant/sorcery spells

Ranar the Ever-Watchful + Rest in Peace = The exile/replacement effect of Rest In Peace allows Ranar to generate a spirit token not only when a permeant dies, but also when his own tokens are killed. Pair this with something like Skullclamp or any sac outlet targeting your tokens for massive benefits.

Ranar the Ever-Watchful + Saltskitter = Saltskitter triggers Ranar's token generation via exiling itself whenever anyone plays a creature. This combo can proc on any players turn, not just my own.
