Or do I run 2 dark confidant...? Only thing is it gets hit by so much removal now that it's unlikely it'll even draw me an extra card so opting for the the enchantment, while higher mana cost, is more likely to stay on the field longer and get more card advantage

Anafenza and Reclamation Sage feel more like sideboard cards to me than mainboard.

Penthoplayer So I've been doing a lot of testing... The 2 of in card draw isn't really doing as much work as I'm wanting it to... I'm not sure if I need to go to 3 of or what. I've also tried running CD spells like Night's Whisper, Altar's Reap, Succumb to Temptation but yea. Also, tried out Harmonize and Wall of Omens. Gonna try out 3 of's and 4 of's, I don't think it'll be worth it as a 1 of. I have found that Obzedat has been doing work for me online and at my LGS though.

Harmonize did well but the 4 mana for it was rough.

Great Creature Toolbox build! I apologize if I'm repeating anything but I would look at Duskwatch Recruiter  Flip, Collected Company, and Chord of Calling. You got to get these bad boys on the board!

If you have time I would love to get some eyes on my planeswalkerless Abzan build Abzan Beatdown. Good luck at the tables!

Wondering about Melira, Sylvok Outcast, have you actually had good combos with her? I can see the reasoning on the Finks combo, but since Infect is mostly dead right now, has it done you well? Just curious.

Lowenstein Its been soso. I've faced infect a couple times online and people trying to use the -1/-1 counter effects from Archfiend and cycling then mass grave recursion. It's a one of for a reason and that is cause it provides utility sometimes while still functioning as a combo piece. You could swap it out for Vizier of Remedies if you wanted but i figure might as well get the utility from Melira.

That said, the melira combo is a 3 piece combo, natrually it's harder to get off but i have gotten it a few times. I've been thinking about using a second Thune instead as it as it'd keep the combo but also give me another thune for the Spike Feeder when the first inevitably gets exiled. Buts it's also 5 mana instead of 2 so...

This deck is decently combo based so a Diabolic Tutor might work well

Try the Murderous Redcap in mainboard for an easy win

darklord1135 So Redcap sadly will only work if I have Melira out on the board. Melira is only in as a 1 of so I think it might be a bit too inconsistent otherwise I do agree that it would be a ton of fun to have in here. Thank you for the thought!

Lord_Europa That is a decent idea. I will consider that, though with that said I am also considering Chord and Co Co so yea... well see where that goes! :P Thank you for the suggestion!

Chord would be good and Coco isn't bad

Oh heyChasmolinker been going 2 wins 2 losses usually. That said I havent been able to play a lot since May, not sure if that means much though...

Same here. It's difficult to get out much to play paper magic. I playtest on here a lot but, that only goes so far.
