i run a five color edh using Scion of the Ur-Dragon
and im want to try ways to cheat Omniscience
to the battlefield, ways that i do know of are to force it out of my library or discard to my discard pile and return it to play using Replenish
or obzadat's aid.
or there's Fist of Suns for a fifth turn play and since u use scion on the ur-dragon as my general, i can enlighten tutor or Vampiric Tutor searching and topping Omniscience and then using Intet, the Dreamer to play it.
and by far the easiest way i have seen to do it is by using Academy Rector
anything i'm missing?
Lost Auramancers isn't exactly fast but if left uncontested it'll allow you to plop down the Omniscience straight from your deck.

There's Show and Tell , but that's a double-edged sword.

If you can ditch it in the graveyard, you could always fish it out with Obzedat's Aid .

Open the Vaults can also get the job done if you're going for a reanimation route.

These are all pretty solid ideas. My personal fave is Academy Rector , she has always worked well. Only prob is that IRL she is expensive so not everyone has access.

well there is this really silly and broken card called Show and Tell to straight up put Omniscience on the field lol

you could always go reanimator route and use Replenish

I almost didn't get that. Then I read the flavor text.

Counterlash ing your own card is a popular method. Another one I've had used on me is Entomb it, then Replenish .

Well the weirdest way I can come up with is the following.
Turn one white producing land, Sol Ring and Jhoira's Timebug . Turn two play another white land source and Lost Auramancers and have the artifact creature remove a time counter. Turn three respond to the vanishing and have the bug remove another counter. I think this works if not its a turn four, instead of three, cheat of your favorite enchantment into play.

Come to think of it it seems like it really only works for turn four since there is still a counter there.

this seems like an awesome deck, too bad things like Demystify and Aura Shards exist

The Q&A is for rules-related questions. Moved to Commander forum.
