Drawing into consistency —Aug. 23, 2021

Wanted to get a bit more Impulse draw into the deck, and also change up the type/velocity of that draw. Also trying out a new theft effect.

Out

• Share the Spoils - This is a bit late, but it was quickly replaced by Chandra, Fire Artisan. Each time I play tested it, I ended up exiling something I didn't want to give my opponents access to. Will still keep in consideration.

• Chandra, Fire Artisan - Nothing necessarily wrong with it, but I wanted to try out something a little bit faster/more explosive

• Faithless Looting - Didn't synergize as much with this deck and wanted to try something else.

• Gonti, Lord of Luxury - Disrupting 4 cards and stealing one is fine, but would definitely be better with Blink effects for re-use.

In

• Commune with Lava - Wanted an instant speed draw effect to draw on someone else's End of Turn.

• Ignite the Future - Was on the fence to include either this or Commune with Lava, and decided "Why not try both"? With Ignite, I know I'm always getting 3 cards for 4 mana, and has the option for the free plays with Flashback

• Mindleecher Replacing Gonti (for now). This can Mutate onto 17 of 22 creatures in the 99, as well as Prosper. I figured it would be better to hit all opponents simultaneously with the theft, vs just one opponent with Gonti. Similarly to Gonti and Blink effects, this would be better with more Mutate creatures, or bounce to hand effects to recast and re-mutate it.

On thin Ice

• Disrupt Decorum - Both Dead of Winter and Possibility Storm are lined up as potential replacements. I am leaning a bit more towards Possibility Storm as a means to disrupt everyone else around the table, and another means for me to "dig" for Chain of Smog
