Seer's Vision

Confused by this card. The Viashino are on old tribe with Dash and Haste. They like to return to hand! Eating your own kind/strategy seems counterproductive. On top of that it's an artificer which implies artifacts and here we have yet another Izzet legend slinging instants and sorceries. Whatever WOTC has been smoking the past few years they need to start sharing with the rest of us.

Prismari Command always useful

Helm of Chatzuk my new Urza's Saga tech

Urza's Saga to grab that Hex Parasite and/or Skullclamp

I'll be smoking some of that tree while you make decisions.

Was just being bold and trying to get you to think differently. Yawgmoth's Will is timeless and quintessential.

I will always have a soft spot for Nekusar and the other OG commanders. Your build is a good blend of old & new.

Baleful Mastery why not main board?

Burning Inquiry so much looting for so little

Cephalid Coliseum one person loots

Lier, Disciple of the Drowned > Yawgmoths Will (getting wild upon Andramalech request)

Dark Confidant looove this card in EDH but consider adding Sensei's Divining Top and/or Witch's Clinic to offset the serious life loss. Urza's Saga could grab it along with a playset of your other fancy jewels.

Endurance, Foundation Breaker, Grief + Shriekmaw

Deserted Temple

You run 18 artifacts (plus creatures). It might be beneath your current passive life gain options but none of that doubles as a tutor. Chew on it. Agree with your Nomad analysis but still think Blighted could be a sneaky game ender.

Blighted Steppe, Inventors' Fair, Nomad Stadium, Sejiri Refuge/Tranquil Cove = free life gain

You and I went different directions but there's still some overlap in cards and strategy. I see dat Power Matrix! (Pet card of mine. The 1st "equipment")

You have some Indestructible where I really leaned into it since has so much. I also have a few creatures with Flash to play around the Wrath of God on a stick.

The only thing I'm going to individually suggest is discard fodder since spell shapers so desperately need Squee, Goblin Nabob.

Glory going to be bold and suggest cutting Mother of Runes

Soul of New Phyrexia that indestructible I mentioned earlier

Sevinne's Reclamation/Prismatic Strands efficient flashback tricks

Containment Construct fixes the drawback

Eternal Dragon for the long game :)

Undermine! > Negate

DreadKhan since you made me aware of Scavenged Brawler it's my turn to make you aware of Qarsi Revenant. They relentlessly release stuff now it's impossible to keep up with. I think in a vacuum Brawler is better because commander damage and the vigilance/trample PB&J but Revenant makes First Strike very scary and is half the cost.

Sometimes I wish it was "iSufferFromEDHD" but we all collectively suffer from it anyway.

Stubborn Denial gets my vote then

Forbid > counterspell

Hex Parasite/Soul Diviner what finality counter?

Sold peoples collections in the past so I'm familiar but never played either. My point was all the creature stats are like Emrakul, word soupy, extra sHiNy boring digital art. No balance, no creativity, no heart.

A massive pile of shit... millions of flies could not possibly be wrong!

Lego is a better comparison to the problem we are discussing. My Yu-Gi-Oh comparison is more to the power creep, artwork and foiling process. I'm not opposed to intellectual property crossovers. IMO the Marvel ones were interesting. What's so stupid and short sighted is not treating these products as speciality side projects and allowing all this stuff to disrupt the original formula that made this game healthy, strong and great: 1 core set, 1 base set + 2 secondary. They could sell all this specialty goofy shit in-between.

Hear you loud and clear on the boycott! The only product I have purchased in over a decade is a Wal-Mart booster bundle of both Modern Horizons and MH2. eBay and trading is how I have slowly built the EDH collection.

Yu-Gi-Oh-ification of MTG is complete. I haven't been paying attention to what's being released and it's even stranger than it was when we last chatted. Final Fantasy is goofy. Who is buying this garbage? We need Oasis! (Mirage revisited) with how fast and power creeped MTG is now maybe Fallen Empires/Homelands 2.0 is what's necessary to save this game from itself.
