Strixhaven Release —May 14, 2021
With the release of Strixhaven (which I love, by the way), I've made a few edits to the deck. The first addition is Ingenious Mastery. What's that, you say? Isn't that one of the bad Masteries? Well... no. I really like this card because of it's versatility. If I need card draw early, it's three mana for three cards (at the price of helping an opponent). But in the late game, it's pretty much exactly what I need.
As for my other edits, I finally made the leap and added in Sensei's Divining Top. With the release of Strixhaven, my meta has been shifting to run more interaction, so I added Pyroblast and Counterspell, though I'm planning to switch out the latter for a better counterspell as soon as I get it.
The reason I have Saheeli instead of Jhoira is threefold.
1: Saheeli has a lot less of a reputation. Jhoira decks are almost universally Cheerio Storm.
2: This is not a Cheerio Storm deck, nor is it an Eggs deck. It is a combo deck. Saheeli is meant to a) enable me to play expensive spells cheaply, and b) create artifacts.
3: I like Saheeli better than Jhoira.
GryphonDoor says... #1
quick suggestion...I would say switch Saheeli, the Gifted
with
Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
since most of your deck is historic spells and, card draw is better than tokens and 1 spell costing less a turn. this is just my opinion but I would suggest that. and if you aren't able to play in your pods lately I would suggest untap.in it is a great website with no budget restriction for free.
