Energy Flux was move of a reference to you not running artifacts, basically a one sided Hate Card, being in green leaves you with enough mana usually where energy flux's effects are negligible at best and effect basically anyone that happens to play Tier 1, hkhssweiss's best decks have a hard time with it....all of his best decks. With the high creature density of your deck have you also considered Thalia, Guardian of Thraben or Thalia, Heretic Cathar to slow down opponents and in Heretic's case, delay blockers.

Just like Black Sabbath's song - I'm going through changes.
Corrupted Conscience => Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Rashmi, Eternities Crafter => Thalia, Heretic Cathar
Swamp => Soul Warden (let's see how it rolls with 35 lands. Little afraid, but we'll see)

Oh man a couple games I playtested, and adding in Jace and Archangel was absolutely crazy. The curve synergy is right on mark, early game is still a bit weak but you start hitting the ebb of the flow when T3 happens. Super fun to gold fish xD

hkhssweiss yo dude!
I'm wondering about some blink effect like:
They can also work well with Restoration Angel or good 'ol Flickerwisp) - giving us additional trigger (but this angel will do nothing more so maybe not a great idea).
Can be great with Eternal Witness, Deepglow Skate (lel), Kalonian Hydra (if I will use its counters for something else) or even with Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Ezuri, Claw of Progress (additional exp counters - always welcome), or....Soul Warden. If Master Biomancer will join the party in late game - we can blink stuff that was put on the battlefield earlier. I was also considering Progenitor Mimic long time ago, but I find it too expensive. Seems good? Whatcha think?

I love blinking creatures, however if you try to include that package in this deck, you will be diluting your +1/+1 counter matters theme. Your sub theme right now is the infect/phyrexia and if you want to add in the flicker package you would have to cut that out, which means your taking out the heart of the reason why you built the deck.
Progenitor Mimic is awesome, but your curve is a bit on the high side so I would recommend against it. The better option imo if you still want to add in flicker would be these two. Eldrazi Displacer or Deadeye Navigator. Venser, the Sojourner actually works with the theme because he can either blink, make unblockable, and ult will close out the game so all relevant abilities.
Hope that gives some insight!

Yeah - it surely does limit amount of phyrexian cards. It was just a random thought. Maybe I will add Venser someday since all 3 abilities can be useful here. We'll se about it.
And btw - my friend opened masterpiece Sol Ring. F**** cvnt XD

Oh man your friend is one lucky S.O.B., only one friend of mine pulled an Invention Sol Ring, my other ones pulled the mana crypt and a couple others.
I only personally pulled the Chromatic Lantern, Doomsday, and Aggravated Assault. I was more lucky with the expedition lands :P

Another random idea out of the blue: Panharmonicon.
Notable interactions:
Archangel of Thune + Soul Warden
Too bad I won't work with Deepglow Skate or Master Biomancer
PS: My best pulls were: Foil Ajani from my first mtg product - Deckguilder's Toolkit 2013, Foiled Nissa from intro pack at M15 prerelease and Overgrown Tomb Expedition from Prerelease Pack. Since I've opened only 3 Kaladesh Boosters and 2 Amonkhet there was no chance for my for invocations or materpieces xD

It's a fun idea, and if you have flex spots you can try it out. It does work with Deepglow Skate because it is a trigger ability so it does double twice. It's also funny that it can trigger Contagion Engine ETB effect twice LOL!
Pulled Expedition Flooded Grove, Strip Mine, and also Wasteland from my BFZ boxes. Most memorable pull was getting that Foil Cavern of Souls from a single Avacyn Restored Pack!

Hello hkhssweiss!
You can check my alters (dunno why they don't appear on the decklist itself - I've done everything as described).
Finally I'm back with alteration spree again! So far I've made Blighted Agent (seller "lost" foiled one, so I made alteration for normal version since I don't like normal artwork anyway), Tamiyo and Aura Shards. I wonder if u will guess the artworks I used :D
November 25, 2018 7:53 p.m.
hkhssweiss says... #12
Hmm your right I don't see it on the deck list, only just the normal versions.
Oh man I am super curious on how you did the alters! I wanna see! LOL
I only have one alter and that's the one my friend gave me for my gift haha, it's a full art Intet!
November 25, 2018 8:08 p.m.
ErebosMortuus says... #13
I see... There's no way to check them in my inventory then?
I did 3 painted alters - Sol Ring, Liliana Vess (made to look like my -ex xD) and Meren. The rest is digital.

Haha glad you liked it! You have to thank yourself as well!!!
There is no one person effort in this, I'm glad I was able to help you out to refine your deck build! I have a screenshot of how disgusting it can get on turn 4 with this iteration of the build xD
ErebosMortuus says... #1
No problem buddy :D
Yea - retribution gives -x/-x until the end of turn.
