Rush of Knowledge would be nice here... surprising how people never noticed the card back in the day...

If this was a challenge not to put in any creatures, then i'd recommend Delver of Secrets  ^Flip. Anyway, interesting and nice EDH deck!

sad news, but delver is a creature.

Also, Delver of Secrets  ^Flip really, REALLY, sucks in EDH.

Have you ever considered Snap? Essentially a free bounce but if you have a mana doubler it almost turns into "2:bounce a creature then add 4 mana to your mana pool"

sb it. it sounds fun

Twincast is a boss, especially when your opponents cast green ramp spells. Why yes, I'll pay UU for Explosive Vegetation!

Throw in Proteus Staff or any other Polymorph effect for that matter... Put a creature (drake or talrand, it doesn't matter) on the bottom of your library, reveal EVERYTHING, then rearrange your entire library as you please.

No muss, no fuss, and if you're willing to pay 3 for a Fabricate, then you're willing to pay 3 for a Cruel Tutor/Diabolic Intent.

Plus it remedies a tucked general...

Holy crap, just had one of the most intense games over playtesting this deck. I was using Mayael, and the only reason i won is because I swords to plowshares'd my own worldspine wurm. Extremely close, extremely fun, I like your deck. +1 from me.

This is pretty awkward with one creature but I think this deck should run Cavern of Souls because it dosen't have enough counters to counter their counter and if they Hinder / Spell Crumple Talrand you don't have any creatures anymore. If you don't want cavern you should at least run Riptide Laboratory for some defence against removal.

With only running one creature I feel it is a bit silly to run Lightning Greaves . I am sure you can find a card far more deserving of that slot.

I know it's a bit costly but having Beacon of Tomorrows is a good extra turn card that you can keep pulling as long as it's not countered.

Also, Elixir of Immortality to reshuffle graveyard into library.

@Chaedi giving your only single creature shroud is definitely worth a 2 drop. Haste may as well not be there, but shroud is amazing for this deck imo.

Ancestral Vision would be good, and Eye of the Storm for the sheer casting ridiculousness. Runechanter's Pike could add a Voltron option.

Needs Propaganda for more early game control

Quicken Trade Secrets Mindslaver

@ceeem, Trade Secrets is one the bannings that has been announced to occur in the near future.

ironic that it came in an edh box for EDH AND IT WILL BE BANNED.

any other stuff going to be banned

Maybe replace Train of Thought with Recurring Insight ? Replicating Train of Thought will not give you more drakes, you'll only get the 2 from casting it (copies of a spell are not being casted, so you dont get drakes for copies). Recasting Recurring Insight from rebound will give you a couple more drakes, however. You'll probably also draw way more cards from Recurring Insight. Which makes me think you might want to use this too: Reliquary Tower . Another card to consider is Oona's Grace . It would allow you to make use of excess lands in your hand and you'll always be able to make drakes with it. Cool deck so far!

I would run Whispers of the Muse , so you have something to do with extra mana.

Can we get to 100 comments? I have been looking at the comments and think on how well it could work in the deck and curse that 100 card limit. there are a couple of cards in m14 that look very good

Thought Reflection , Mind Unbound are good for card draw

Archmage Ascension can become a tutor.

With all the basic lands Journeyer's Kite can help you out.

Doubling Cube can help out mid game.

Ensnaring Bridge can lock out big creatures from attacking.

With the first two, I might put them in. The archmage i forgot to put in though i have no idea why that was skipped over. the kite and cube are maybes that I might run but kite is less important since it drains mana that the deck doesn't neccesarly need since it is better than multi-color decks. the bridge will be in for the defence.

I'm not sure why Darksteel Plate is in here. The only creature really worth protecting is talrand, and you can just recast him or protect him with countermagic. The slot is better used with another counterspell. Where's your Leyline of Anticipation /Vedalken Orrery ? You may have 22 instants already but having 66 instants instead is even better.
