Introduction

This deck is all about drawing cards, mainly by getting Toothy, Imaginary Friend really big then flickering him. When toothy is flickered with Essence Flux his leaves the battlefield triggered ability will go on the stack after the flicker ability has resolved. Therefore, he will have already re-entered the battlefield before the draw triggers and he will then see all of those draw triggers and regrow to his previous size. This is where things get interesting.

If Pir, Imaginative Rascal is also out on the field when Toothy, Imaginary Friend is flickered Toothy will not grew to his previous size, but instead double the number of counters.

This makes Conjurer's Closet extremely good. All of the Brainstorm can-trip effects are easy ways to get him pumped up quick. Essence Flux Type of flicker effects are also ways to dodge single target removal spells like Murder. The removal spell targets toothy then you flicker him in response then toothy will enter the battlefield as a new creature and the removal spell will fizzle for not having a target.

Win Conditions

Win by drawing your library with one of the combos below or good old flinkering toothy till you Thassa's Oracle for the win. I never attack with toothy and just normally leave him up as a blocker.

Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Displace Result: Infinite ETB. Infinite LTB. Infinite blinks on a creature you control.

Naru Meha, Master Wizard + Ghostly Flicker Result: Infinite mana lands you control can produce. Infinite ETB. Infinite LTB. Infinite landfall triggers. Infinite magecraft triggers. Could add Sunscorched Desert infinite damage.

My experiences

(Review from 2020) This deck has been an exorbitant amount of fun. If the table has played against the deck before they will immediately try to kill toothy on the turn he comes out. This is why Daze type of effects are so important. Every single game I get asked the same question. "Is As Foretold on every players turn or just your turn?" The most counters I have gotten on As Foretold with Pir, Imaginative Rascal is nine!

Be vigilant when someone else is playing a flicker deck like with Eldrazi Displacer or Roon of the Hidden Realm. They will flicker toothy and you will draw your entire library and lose.

(Review from 2023) This deck still smashes. If they know the deck they will try to stop toothy from coming out. If they don't stop him and he lasts about 3 turns you will win the game. The deck goes unchecked a lot of the time because it doen't look like you are doing much just playing your commanders. You try to get toothy out as quickly as possible (turn 3) then get pir out (turn 4) the following turn and try to have a counter spell up or flinker card to protect toothy. Then slowly protect your pieces and build the card drawing machine that toothy is. Its great winning a game and drawing your deck without a infinite combo. Not a lot of decks can do that. ...

Only a $300 build

This deck is pretty cheap and is there anything better than beating a table full of $1,000 decks. This deck puts people in such a dilemma. Do you taking the 30/30 toothy damage or try to kill it and let the person draw 30 cards. I hope you all enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.
