I have decided to resurrect this deck and use Mechanized Production as an alternate win-con with all those clues. I had to remove some stuff that was out of standard, so I'm doing some quick adds of cards I can think of, but I'm sure there is better stuff out there. Please let me know if you have any ideas to make this even better!
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated, and remember to always +1 Upvote decks you like!
Mainboard
Creatures:
Erdwal Illuminator is great for extra clues... but isn't a human. I'm still deciding if it's a good choice here.
Hanweir Militia Captain
should be pretty easy to flip, and is crazy when you do. I dropped a couple to make room for some blue, but I'm possibly thinking of dropping the Erdwal Illuminators to push this back up to 4.
Sigarda, Heron's Grace is a one off bomb. I can use Tamiyo's Journal to find her if needed.
Thalia's Lieutenant can make some really crazy things happen. I manage to get a pretty large human army out, especially if I have out any Ulvenwald Mysteries, and this guy grows himself or everyone else constantly. I'm thinking of adding some bounce specifically for this guy to hit my whole board again with counters.
Thraben Inspector is an obvious choice here. 1 cost 1/2 that gets me a clue is just too perfect.
Tireless Tracker used to feel really powerful, but I dropped a couple because I'm not as sure anymore. I have so many other good creatures that play off of humans and clues that this guy may be redundant. I dropped a couple to see how things go.
Non-Creatures:
Confront the Unknown is broken with the number of clues I can generate. I regularly see 3 clues, and have seen up to 10 on the board at once. For one mana, that's a lot of extra power and toughness! Plus, add another clue, so even if I don't have a lot of clues, this can help me reach the magic 3 for several of my other main cards.
Inspiring Statuary allows me to use all those clues to cheat out my cards. Interesting card in here... though I'm not 100% sold yet that it's worth it. Needs more testing.
Mechanized Production is my alt wincon. If I can't kill you, I can just use this guy on a clue to win FAST.
Reverse Engineer is great card draw for cheap, seeing as I'll probably have at least a couple clues.
Tamiyo's Journal is so much fun! I can sacrifice 3 clues for free, which can do A LOT of things in this deck, and then I can grab anything I want. If I have Ulvenwald Mysteries out, I get humans for free. If I have Briarbridge Patrol out, I get a creature for free. If I have both out, lots of fun happens FOR FREE! On top of that, this is generating a clue every turn, or two if I have out an Erdwal Illuminator.
Tamiyo, Field Researcher is amazing! I have 1 right now, and if this deck pans out, I may have to go buy another. A decent amount of card draw from the +1, and decent amount of control from the -2, and a finisher I really want to see happen lol. My tests with her have had her die or me win before I can see it go off.
Ulvenwald Mysteries is one of the staples of this deck. I get clues from dying creatures, and creatures from dying clues lol. Both will happen, and both will help me.
Sideboard
I need some help here. What would be some good ideas? Currently this is what I'm running:
Declaration in Stone is just mandatory in white. If needed, I can even use it on my own guys to create the clues I need to win from Mechanized Production
Expose Evil is control plus investigate, just makes sense.
Quarantine Field is more control, just of a different kind. Good if you're up against indestructible.
Root Out with all the Mavel decks out there, this was a mandatory add to the sideboard
Stasis Snare... yet another control card.
