Everyone says that Living Lore is a strictly EDH card. I say NAY! Lving Lore is going to change the meta! At least it will give you a fun deck to play at your kitchen table or will let you frustrate an opponent or two at FNM.

Trying to keep it budget for everyone out there but obviously we can upgrade the land bases with Polluted Delta and Temple of Deceit, sub in Thoughtsieze and Hero's Downfall. Dig Through Time is the money card that I think is absolutely necessary, but a playset is only around $20. Skip lunch one day.

This is obviously a WIP.

The goal is to get Living Lore out and exile Temporal Trespass, Unmake the Graves or Treasure Cruise. Unmake the Graves in particular gives you great value as your 5/5 can be sacced and then instantly put back in youur hand along with a second one from the graveyard.

Living Lore + Aqueous Form let's you live the dream and swing, unblockable with a potential 11/11.

Temporal Trespass gives us added value and can let you sneak in for lethal if your opponent is unprepared.

Bloodsoaked Champion is an aggro annoyance that helps put early pressure. Disciple of Deceit helps us fill the yard to prepare for Living Lore and can swap out a late Duress for an Aqueous Form.

Sideboard is WIP

Potential Changes:

• A 4cmc such as Taigam’s Strike or Bident of Thassa to help get Living Lore out of Disciple of Deceit.

• Not sure if we keep the Dissolve or the Ultimate Price. Dissolve and counter spells are nice because they can help avoid Living Lore getting killed before it can attack. Maybe keep a control shell?
