It does work

its like no one actually reads her second ability

Well, in fairness, I'm a dude, so let's call it male selective reading for me.

By the way, a friend told me this first combo of yours made a top 8 modern in some tour-level tourney-- is that correct?

xyr0s read the card before you comment please. This didn't just magically get by level 3 judges at the protour...

She copies an artifact or creature. The token she makes is an artifact in addition to its other types. Combo works fine

How well does this deck respond to thoughtsieze into surgical extraction? they can target either saheeli or altar and they might have you depending on your opening hand.

BioProfDude I have no idea about the tourney thing, I didn't even know it was a well know combo, I was just looking through list after list of cards till I found an awesome combo lol

ravengamer93 that combo does hurt it very badly I actually went against someone running that Monday night at my lgs modern tourney he removed my Saheeli and liquimetal but didn't realize I could infinite mill him with 2 felidar so still won but it does hurt it bad if they know the deck

You should definitely put some more counters in your sideboard incase you're playing an opponent who can systematically get rid of your Saheeli's with discard or cards like Surgical Extraction or Extirpate

Yeah, I'm still working on it and playing it in tourneys to see what worKS best against the decks they run at my lgs
