Also take out arcane denial for Remand

@ARandomGuy: Enter the Infinite definitely makes a great closing card; maybe I can find a spot for one just for the lols. XD

As for Remand , a playset of those would be half the cost of this entire deck.. I don't deny that it's very good, as it doesn't give the opponent's card advantage. However, I really like the Arcane Denial because it permanently counters the spell, plus we both draw cards off of it, which is what the deck intends to do anyway. :)

Thanks for the suggestions, though! They are both Maybeboard worthy! :D

Mindcrank is a pretty good alternate win-con.

Chasm Skulker is also a win con with how much you'll be drawing. And if they manage to kill it.....RELEASE THE SQUIDS!

Yeah, he's in the maybeboard. It was either him or Psychosis Crawler; releasing the squids does sound a lot more humorous now that I think about it. XD

Hey check out my deck Red-hot Anachronism

Maybe something in here will jump out to you, not sure. Really cool deck though!

Day's Undoing shuffles the graveyard back into the library, so, unless you are going to exile the grave right before you play it, its counterproductive.

That is what the Tormod's Crypt is for; I run this same thing, just with Time Reversal, but Day's Undoing is 2 CMC less (granted, it ends the turn)!

I found that Traumatize pairs in a nasty way with Tormod's Crypt

This is great! Very similar to my Learning Curve

And therefore I might suggest Consecrated Sphinx? Late game yes.. but if you haven't won by then.. you will

@Slythiechick: Traumatize is just a nasty mill card in general. I could put one in, but then it takes the fun away from milling 20 cards late game from drawing. :P

@denijsx90: Dang, it is pretty similar. I remember people suggesting to add the black in for Notion Thief. Consecrated Sphinx would definitely be amazing and I have it in the maybeboard. It's just a matter of 1 Sphinx costing almost as much as half the current deck. Lol

Thanks for the suggestions, though. I really appreciate them :)

September 27, 2016 3:43 a.m.

you should add Mindcrank to make them mill when you hit them. I also suggest adding two or three Learn from the Past. it works like Elixir of Immortality except instead of life gain you draw a card. and you should add in Tamiyo's Journal so you can get allot of clues witch allow you to draw extra cards if need to. not to mention 3 clues=any card of choice which no one would complain about.

Cool deck, dude! You might like Windfall, Jushi Apprentice, and Psychic Spiral. Have a great day!

What do you think about Kami of the Crescent Moon ? Like a walking Dictate of Kruphix :)

Doesn't Psychosis Crawler die when you discard your hand to draw his toughness goes to 0

If you ever decide to weaponize card draw for damage, I strongly suggest Booby Trap. If you are familiar enough with your opponent's library, you can pairThis with your Jace, Memory Adept's ultimate to get 20 immediate draws for an attempt at that hit for 10 health.

If you splash in some black and red, you could also add in Nekusar, the Mindrazer which will allow you to fight on two fronts: mill and life, and it also pairs well with your Jace.

So do you plan on finishing this deck and releasing a final version of it? Or is this as far as you're gonna take it? Cause I really want to try out a final and finished version of this deck and I was just wondering if there was more that you wanted to do with the deck or if this was it.

Hey justhereforthemagic, thanks for your interest in the list! You can definitely do what you want with the list and make any changes you think may make it better. I haven't been working on my lists for awhile now because things have gotten pretty busy.

One thing I can say for sure is that the list is not close to done; ideally I would trim it down to 60 cards and be able to add in much better additions. If you are trying for the budget build, then something along these lines can work in the casual format. I love to play this deck against my friends, but the focus is all over the place. If you want to focus on the mill, then I would take the Psychosis Crawlers out. If you want to try the creature // damage build, I would try to fit Chasm Skulkers in.

If you have them lying around, Brainstorm would definitely be the draw spell of choice over See Beyond. The miser Jace was just a filler card and can be easily replaced with more efficiency as well. Anyway, I would definitely be interested to see your version of the deck if you end up making one. Have fun with the list! :)

I have a notion you wont like what I'm doing
Hey, not sure if you are still active but I decided to build my own version of this deck. Check it out if you get a chance.
+1 for the inspiration.

jonny909090 I run a similar Commander deck and my 2 favorite card combo with (what you already have) Sphinx's Tutelage (or any similar mill/draw cards) and to hold my deck over I like to use cards like and it's lesser counter part
