Thanks thebatman19 for pointing me to your manabase. I'm going to be putting some of the lands I'm missing on order this week.

Ephara's ability will only trigger once, no matter how many creatures entered the battlefield last turn, I just think there are better ways to abuse enter the battlefield triggers than that.

Maybe "abuse" is too strong of a word when talking about Ephara's interaction with ETB creatures. A better word is probably synergistic, and more accurately, highly synergistic. When every creature is potentially a cantrip, you're basically getting a 3 for 1 deal with ETB creatures: creature, effect and card draw.
Even though her ability will only net one card per trigger, it triggers on EVERY upkeep. I will say it definitely feels like abuse when using effects that let you (re)use those ETB creatures at instant speed (blink, flash enablers), allowing even more draws with Ephara.

This is a gorgeous deck. I'm adding this to my list so I can play test this against my own b/u deck (my baby).
It's given me some things to think about, particularly with the ghostway.
Suggested Cards:Norn's AnnexStory CircleOtherworldly JourneyCavern of SoulsEquilibriumBlood Clock
Cut Talisman of Knowledge, get Darksteel Ingot or Astral Cornacopia. The indestructibility helps.
As my deck is also a B/U, mind if you take a look at it? As we're both poking at the same concepts, 'd love to have imput.

Hey Eboksba, if you like Ghostway also check out Faith's Reward . It's really nice when someone blows up your lands, because you can float your mana in response and cast it to get them all back. It has won me a few games, and I'm looking to find a spot for it again.

Faith's reward seems more in line with what I was looking for. That said, that's an excellent card.
I'll have to make space for my EDH deck, well deserving of a place.
September 6, 2014 11:04 a.m.
Nice Job! Might want to consider an Unsummon or Vapor Snag , too.

I previously had Capsize in here to fill that role, which reminds me I should find a spot for it again. Thanks Irock158!

Have a few suggestions and a few things to play around with.
Suggestions: Detention Sphere , Dramatic Rescue , Remand , Decree of Silence , Teferi's Moat , Twilight Shepherd , Ponder , Devastation Tide , Supreme Verdict
Silly stuff to play around with: Reality Strobe , Chronomantic Escape , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx .
Also, without question: Mystical Tutor

A few of the cards are already in the deck, so I know they're good. Some of the others look interesting, so I maybeboarded them: Twilight Shepherd , Reality Strobe , Chronomantic Escape
Mystical Tutor was recently taken out, but I'm considering putting it back in. Right now the deck is solid, and wins quite a bit at my local store, but games are very long and grindy. The maybeboard is huge right now because I'm thinking of changing the deck up a bit, I'm not sure which direction I want to take it yet.
Overall, thanks for the suggestions Evoksva!

Thou shalt not pillow fort your deck with Azor's Elocutors . Tis a sin.Valuetown all you like with powerful effects, but don't pillow fort. (Teferi's Moat is kinda the one exception to this rule)
October 1, 2014 2:15 p.m.
Mimic Vat ? Awesome with ETB effects. Plus you can imprint other peoples creatures which can create some interesting situations like messing with graveborn decks or stealing someone's Acidic Slime

Mimic Vat sounds pretty great. I used to have it in the deck, but it got cut a while back. Now that you bring it up, it was really good when I ran it. Not only does it do what you mention, it's also a Sun Titan target, and you know people will want it dead. Thanks griz024!

Np feralkitten
I got a few more suggestions: Emeria, The Sky Ruin and Erratic Portal . Sky ruin is almost a mini Sun Titan every turn and the portal is basically another Crystal Shard .
redundancy is a good thing in edh.

Aside from the Rev, you have 0 ways to gain life in the deck. Since it looks like a more grindy build, have you considered Resolute Archangel . I run her in my Roon of the Hidden Realm deck and she is really nice to flicker.
October 22, 2014 2:48 a.m.
FeralKitten says... #20
Resolute Archangel does seem like fun, I'm just not sure what I would cut for it.

AEtherling says, "Did somebody say valuetown?"
Tough to kill and one blue ensures you get your draw!
December 8, 2014 11:56 a.m.
You know, never mind me. I totally missed him at the top of the list. I'll be over here dying of embarrassment.
Let me take another stab
Sunblast Angel might a good idea. If you can blink her at will, she gets really nasty.
December 8, 2014 12:01 p.m.
FeralKitten says... #24
It's all good apt142, if I could run another AEtherling in the deck I totally would!
Sunblast Angel is pretty good, and people do like to turn their creatures sideways at this deck (since I suppose people don't like their things exiled, bounced and countered, go figure), so I will definitely consider it. Thanks for checking out the deck!

Equilibrium is another interesting possibility. It is more conditional than the Crystal Shard, but it is a lot easier to punish your opponents with.

Here's a link to my version of the deck, maybe my manabase can give you some ideas. I highley recommend Moorland Haunt. Using it on opponents turns to make a blocker and draws you card is great.
