Hour of Devestation —Aug. 19, 2017

Mirage Mirror! Holy moly, what utility! It won't net me any ETB triggers (sadness) but I could copy Panharmonicon and get 3x the ETB triggers per creature. Or make an extra copy of Doubling Season, or duplicate any creature, including an opponent's. I took out Crystal Shard to make room for it. The shard was a neat idea but never really had the effect I hoped it would.

Also, I tossed in a Worldly Tutor, removing Prime Speaker Zegana. I liked Zegana's card draw effect, but it required me to have a decent board state already - so was a little 'win more.' Also, her Legendary status prevented me from truly abusing her in this deck. Be gone!

Amonkhet

Late to the Amonkhet party, but better late than never.

  • Replaced Fated Infatuation with Vizier of Many Faces. While both create a copy of a creature, I can flicker or return the Vizier to my hand if needed.
  • Replaced Zendikar Resurgent with Elemental Bond. ZR is just so expensive to cast and I've got plenty of other ramp. But the card draw was nice, so let's go with a cheaper version. EB also lets me draw a card for token creatures and things cheated into play.
  • Replaced Temple of the False God with another Mountain.

Thanks for the compliment Jpegwun! I should probably add a Worldly Tutor, it just bums me out that I can't copy it ;)

Dual Nature is less appealing because it give my opponents more creatures and becomes an easier way for them to get rid of mine. When things are going well, I might have 2-3 or more of the same creature but Dual Nature lets me opponents remove all of them by getting rid of the original.

Oh and about Deadeye Navigator, Jpegwun - I used to have a stronger flicker theme in the deck but slowly replaced most of them with more direct copy effects. Deadeye Navigator was just so expensive to cast, I found direct copy spells to be more cost-effective.

Yeahhhh, you can't copy the tutor lol oh well.

And great points about dual nature and deadeye; deadeye is simply a combo in my deck with palinchron, but I'm considering your reasoning and debating cutting it.

Thanks for the reply :)
