MTG Combo: Omniscience + Show and Tell

Maizena on Nekusar, the Friendship Destroyer [[PRIMER]]

• mistborn314 I'm aware of the primer problem, but I'm short on time to fix it right now.

Dream Halls is basically a double edged sword (a high risk high reward play). When you cast it, be prepared to kill or die this turn. The way I usually play it is setting the board first (1 or 2 cards that deal damage on discard/draw) and having a wheel in hand to cast after the DH. I run a lot of wheels in this deck, most of the times I'm able to chain 3+ wheels and win the game, but if you want a more "safe" way to interact with DM, try adding more counters and cards like Grand Abolisher.

I used to run Temple Bell and Geier Reach Sanitarium, but I decided to cut off all cards that give my opponents "small draws" (the trade off wasn't worth most of the time).

Duskmantle Guildmage cost more to activate than Bloodchief Ascension and is easier to remove. Jace's Archivist is here because of Mind Over Matter, but i'm thinking about cutting both cards off.

I'll test Burning Inquiry and you're absolutely right about Narset, Parter of Veils, it's a MUST.

I used to run Kess, Dissident Mage but people always shut her down pretty fast. I've been thinking about Yawgmoth's Will for some time , but I don't have the money for it right now. Underworld Breach is a nice substitute, thogh.

Bone Miser is worse than Waste Not in all aspects, I don't like it. I never thought about Shadow of the Grave before, I'll test it!

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllyy like Hive Mind, Omniscience + Show and Tell , Torment of Hailfire, Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter (won some fun games with these cards), but it is quite understandable for someone to cut them off (I even recommend it in the primer, before the code start trolling me lol).

For last, Wheel and Deal will be cutted, don't know yet about Mizzix's Mastery.

Thank you a lot for the info exchange and sorry it took me some time to reply! o/

• Metachemist Grafted Exoskeleton is a little bit too slow, but the other two are great! I already run Phyresis as an Inffect finisher.

olivebagel thanks for the suggestions, I have noticed that the deck sometimes struggles to consistently storm off and maintain momentum. I do like the idea of keeping at least 1 alternative wincon to an aetherflux storm buildup, since 1 well-timed vandalblast slipping through and ending the entire deck seems a bit too easy to lose to. I will definitely cut doomsday and the Omniscience + Show and Tell pair at the least and go from there.

You mentioned that there are a lot of potential instant/sorcery/artifact tutors missing which I agree would be a great addition - could you specify which ones come to mind? The maybeboard contains all of the cards I could think of.
