This deck seems really awesome! If Sneak Attack is in your budget range, I'd really recommend it. It's all kinds of broken with Feldon, but it is quite expensive.

Oh, I know of how well that card works with Feldon. It's been on my wish list since day one.

My decks start at ~$50 (Which typically means no cards over $1) and I slowly upgrade from there. So as you can imagine a card like that is low on the list of priorities, despite it's insane power. I'd generally prefer a whole new budget deck over two monster-upgrades, though I do occasionally splurge. A lot of my most expensive cards were Christmas gifts, such as this deck's Wurmcoil Engine. This deck is running out of upgrades though and Sneak Attack is literally one of the next and last upgrades I can fathom.

I've been tracking Sneak Attack on mtggoldfish for a while, with alerts and everything, and the Eternal Masters version is steadily trending down. If it levels out or starts to uptick I'll snag one but for the moment I'm content obsessing and fantasizing over new decks.

Thanks for the comment though!

I like the deck and am tempted to make one my self; if able you might consider adding Staff of Domination for the sheer utility and as a mana dump for the deck.

Have you thought about Goblin Engineer ? Since the token is an artifact you can reanimate then sac it for any 3 cmc artifact in the deck.

toxicliam I've thought about it but it seems slow and interruptible. It's been on the mental list for sure. It can fetch some big-time stuff for sure and if the fetched things get destroyed it can still bring them back, which is awesome. Not sure what I'd cut though

I think toxicliam is right about putting it in, if you need an idea of what to cut then take out Spitebellows and replace him with Goblin Engineer ; You can use the goblin to grab Meteor Golem if you are having creature problems otherwise hes a two mana tutor in a color that generally lacks them. If you have your commander out it suddenly reads pay this turn and make your opponent sad, I cant stress enough how powerful this is for you. Love the deck.

The biggest thing i saw was that you can use it to easily grab Sundial of the Infinite or Thousand-Year Elixir . ALso Gadianten is right you can tutor some forms of removal and even a boardwipe in the form of Steel Hellkite .

I'm kind of surprised to see that Blightsteel Colossus isn't on your list. Is there a reason you aren't running it? It's a great way to end a game pretty quickly and being able to get it out of your graveyard for 3 is pretty good.

What function does Sundial of the Infinite have in your deck? Does it keep you from sacrificing the token at the end of turn or do you have another purpose for it?

Other than it's huge price tag, I suggest rereading Blightsteel Colossus to see my reason for not running it. If I owned one it would be in my Braids, Conjurer Adept deck: The Braided Siren's Song (Show n' Tell Theft).

If one uses Sundial of the Infinite at the end step, when the sacrifice trigger is on the stack, the tokens become permanent. It's the primary target for Goblin Engineer if I'm not grabbing removal. It's sweet.

Hope that clears things up, pidyon!

Any chance you look at spoilers?

Of course. Are you thinking Phyrexian Triniform?

The term "MagiTek" for some reason registers to my brain as a reference to the video game Final Fantasy X, but I could be mistaken. Have a deep love for all things Feldon and I think with his new printing from Brothers' War (2022), maybe time to revisit this list? Loved looking over it.

Andramalech MagiTek is a Final Fantasy VI reference.

I'm probably going to add Cityscape Leveler once I get one

Optimator Kefka would hang me from the rafters and let me die from the gravity of my mistake. Love Final Fantasy as a whole, and this reference is choice. Love the deck and Cityscape Leveler is a force to be reckoned with. I look forward to your updates!

It is forever my shame that I have never played FFVI. I've played basically every one but that one for some reason.

I pulled a Cityscape Leveler from my Brother's War box. Definitely gonna add it to my Feldon deck. Debating Bitter Reunion and Mechanized Warfare as well. Thoughts on those?

December 7, 2022 7:03 p.m. Edited.

Andramalech says... #21

KBK7101 solid picks for sure. I always appreciate the value of a well timed Sneak Attack to create two, maybe three deadly beaters and Thud or Fling at end of combat for extra-savory value.

Hey Optimator, have you considered spamming Keldon Firebombers? I always found it fun :)
