Oh, also, I recommend Urza's Factory. Holding mana to counter, and if not, then pumping out token after token, is pretty fricken sweet in this meta. I've had some success with it, but not enough yet to truly guarantee spot. I need to playtest it more, but am optimistic about it.

@Pheardemons: I like the idea of playing Emperion so I shall try to use it. The biggest difference is its mana cost. That one turn is super important imo. Also at my local cgs there is a lot of infect running around so I generally have to work around that.

As to Supreme Will, I think its worth it to playtest with it. A split could be good. I feel like a lot of times the ability to actually get card advantage off of the card as opposed to just cantrip with it is really useful. Discarding unwanted cards also thins your deck out a bit unlike the will after you shuffle your deck. I think the counter could be very very influential but holding up 3 mana for it is a little gross if you're early in your game. I think at most times in the early game you'd rather just let their threat hit the board and then take care of it later, instead using your three mana to use its draw ability which I think is significantly inferior to Thirst for Knowledge's. Ill try it however and I am also optimistic about maybe doing a sort of split.

I have decided to follow your lead and main Spellskite as well as it is a 0/4 for two mana. That in game one is very good and the fact that it will shut down quite few number of other decks is really good. I'm gonna guess that this card will often be sided out tho.

Epiphany at the Drownyard is really just personal preference. I am running a 1/3 split between the drownyard and the Thirst for Knowledges. I feel like it turns on at about 5-6 mana and helps you snowball in the end game. When you use it you just have to have the mindset that you won't cast it unless they don't have a threat to play. Most of the time countering their spell or killing/bouncing their creature instead of drawing with the epiphany. But there will be times when they don't have a threat and then you get so much value from the card.

I am thinking that Trickbind could be really good now too. The value it gives when you shut down entire combos for a turn is really really good and while you don't get to cantrip with it I think that in this meta the exra versatility of Trickbind puts it barely over Squelch in usefulness.

I have added Endbringer and taken out a Solemn Simulacrum as I believe with the addition of Spellskite our early game.

As to Filigree Familiar... Seems like a strictly better version of Bottle Gnomes on the surface but I'll look into it a bit deeper.

I think that Urza's Factory while good would crowd out Mirrorpool. I'd consider adding it if I removed another spell but as of now Mirrorpool has been serving me really well as it helps get the edge in a game where you have tron but you're still deadlocked with your opponent. The factory could help you stabilize if you have tron but no money cards but It's not that efficient. That's just my thoughts.

Thanks for the advise wanna play on Trice sometime?

I don't know what trice is, is it like cockatrice? Or just a shortened version of Cockatrice? haha

@Pheardemons: it's cockatrice. Also... Is your name like demons of fear. Or is it like. You should fear demons.

Closer to one should fear demons. I made it a long ass time ago when I was playing Diablo II, and it has been able to stay throughout the decades on playstation, xbox, tappedout, ect. I've just kept it. And I'll let you know when I make an account. I've played on my friend's account before, just never made one of my own.

Also, I have created an account, and have added the two decks that I play most often. Skred red and blue tron. Not sure what time zone you are in, but it would be cool to get some games in on Cockatrice sometime. Just a heads up, I'm new, and have NOT memorized all of the hotkeys yet.

Gotcha. I'm eastern standard. I'm pretty sure you're like two hours behind me. If you're free tomorrow (Saturday) what time would be good for you?

@Pheardemons: Hey bro if you're available to play around now id be up for some testing. Quick question do you think that I should have 2 Remand and 2 Spatial Contortion or a 3/1 split (3 Remand 1 Spatial Contortion?)

@Pheardemons: Also ive been playing with the Spellskites in the main without much success. Why do you run them?

November 11, 2017 5:26 p.m.

Pheardemons says... #11

Just got out of my study session. Let me know if youre free. And I've had success with them. In stalling games, and shutting down infect and what not.

@Pheardemons: Hey. Sorry I was in a tournament. Lost in semis but it was cuz i had to drop from the tournament. Check out the list as it is now. It's my most current version... Also pierakor is looking at the deck and giving me advise which is actually sick. Will let you know what he says.

All good man. We'll make it eventually. Today I can make something work, but it'll be after 5pm (3pm for you I'm pretty sure). I'll comment on here when I'll be able to play. I don't guarantee today, but it is a maybe.

Did you make any changes? I don't see any changes from before.

November 12, 2017 6:09 a.m.

Pheardemons says... #14

I take that back, I do see another Solemn Simulacrum and a Spellskite mainboard.

As well as a Trickbind sideboard.

I run a similar build. I've dropped the Sundering Titan for another Wurmcoil Engine and I'm running Field of Ruin over the ghost quarter. There are some minor tweeks. I see the value in the titan but between fast lands and less 3 color decks, I feel I get more mileage out of the wurmcoil. Also, I think the field of ruin is miles ahead of the ghost quarter these days. Especially, if you need an additional blue source. Really love this deck, though.

Hope you're still working on this, one of my favorites
