I'd run Necropotence over Read the Bones . +1

Thanks for the suggestion! Necropotence's BBB cost might be a little tricky to play, but I'll definitely give it a shot in some test plays.

Greed or Erebos, God of the Dead might be more your style then.

Erebos sounds like a good possibility. I'll test him out and see!

Also, I'm not sure what your budget it, but Guardian Beast is pretty sweet.

Guardian Beast looks awesome, but it's pretty expensive. So I'm not sure on that one.

Thanks for the suggestions, monlet! I'll see what I can do with those.

Since you seem to be going for blink cards, I would highly suggest Conjurer's Closet

Thanks, DoctorNightingale! I'll probably change up a bit of this deck soon and I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

Arcum Dagsson is what you need. Plus Leonin Abunas .

Thanks for the suggestions, Irishbrand!

I'll definitely take a look at those. I wanna do another rework of this deck soon so I'll keep those cards in mind.

This deck is just so amazing and balanced that i can't resist to build it. There are so many sinergies and the mana base is awesome. Then sharuum it's a great commander and a reusable toolkit. I'm shocked and my merieke deck is gealous right now :). Only one question: don't you soffer too much to non-basic lands hate?

Crostino23 says... #16

And it's pretty cheap too...

This deck does suffer a bit from non-basic land hate, but I haven't come across many decks that focus on it, so I think my land base right now is all right to keep the deck consistently going. I'll keep an eye on that though. Thanks for pointing that out!

For more riddles: Sphinx Sovereign , Sphinx Summoner , and Enigma Sphinx

Also, Tinker or Fabricate

I love sphinxes, and the ones you suggested are sweet, but they don't quite fit this deck anymore. I've had them in this deck a very long while ago and they were fun, but the deck has changed a lot and now those sphinxes will be a bit too slow for the deck.

I wish I could use Tinker , but it's banned which is understandable. Fabricate is a tricky one for me. I like it and it would fit in this deck, but at the same time, I already have other tutors that are lower costed and are instant speed so it would be too redundant here. I've had it in this deck at one point as well, but I concluded that it'd be better to run something else. It's still a possible option though.

Thanks for the suggestions, man!

have you ever thought of Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas?

Andar says... #22

I've had him in the deck for a while, but ultimately decided that he isn't worth the slot in here. His abilities are great, but most of the time his +1 ability skips out non-artifact cards that I may have needed only to fetch an artifact I didn't need. Because of that, it actually hampers the deck. Most crucial artifacts in the deck can be easily tutored with the cheap instant/sorceries in the deck anyway. So in the end, I decided to cut him and replace him with Liliana Vess which has worked out pretty well ever since!

flavour and power lol

Thanks for the riddle cards, UnknownDemon! :D

Mask of Riddles is really cool, and is perfectly flavorful with Sharuum. Unfortunately, it won't be very effective in this deck since there aren't many creatures to equip it to and it's a tad costly for what it does.

Riddlesmith is pretty nice though. I will think about that one.

And thanks for the upvotes guys. I really appreciate it!
