Hey, so I saw this deck and think it is neat, but I'm not super familiar with the specific rulings of MTG so I ask this:
With the Enter the Infinite win con..how is it you don't lose? When you attack with Narset and have only Omniscience in library she has to Exile 4 cards, but you have only one, so when she goes to the 2nd exile card won't the game state say you have no cards in library and force a lose? Same think with scroll rack and why that trigger to restock library won't kill either.
Thanks

You would only lose if you have to "draw" a card but you can't.

Paradox machine would be quite useless for this deck....

I got into Commander with Narset as my first commander deck. I retired it, because even a super-budget version was too powerful and unfun to play against (at least in my playgroup). But it's still my alltime favourite of all the decks I built and got back to her recently and set the goal to make a pimped up (foil and streamlined) version over the long run!I really like your deck and I try also to go for a "competetive" route but maybe with a focus on a superfriends theme. It won't maybe that straight forward but I think this way the deck can stand on itself powering out many planeswalker either with narset on the front or by simply ramping up and playing high impact walkers like Ugin/Karn/Elspeth to control the board (looking at Deploy the Gatewatch). And with the basic theme of extra turns, I can tick up the walker to use their ultimates (like Chandra, Torch of Defiance) or simply win the same way like you. It is honestly a more playful version but still quite competetive I think! Any thoughts on that?

ccevik my "casual" (more like 75%) version of Narset runs super friends and no extra turns/combats. The only walkers in my competitive version are JTMS and Chandra, ToD. Most of the others are either too slow or not impactful enough in a competitive list. Even Chandra is on the edge, but is a pet card of mine that I think fits well in the deck's shell. Those spots you are using on PWs are just too valuable for other things to enhance the speed of the deck. Narset, however, is just a powerhouse by herself and casting stuff for free will always be good, so even your list is likely to do well against the average EDH player. Against other competitive lists (what you'd ideally want to face with a competitive Narset deck or it isn't really a challenge), a PW version will likely get crushed. It's just too much inefficiency with the exception of a few viable PWs.

Why Weathered Wayfarer instead of Land Tax? Land Tax thihns your deck better, comes in off of Narset and isn't a creature.

Cause Weathered Wayfarer can fetch for lands like Ancient Tomb and Cavern of Souls.

Have you thought about or tested Idyllic Tutor for another Omniscience tutor? How do you feel about the idea?
April 23, 2017 10:25 a.m. Edited.
I wouldn't want that in my hand. That's why i use enlightened tutor.

Hey, super interested in the build. Looking into playing it maybe with a stax package and second sun added, would it be too much trouble to let me know how much this deck costs not foiled out? Which is equally super impressive

Dream hall is not bad but i just dont have any slot for it.
To Chandra_Ablaze_it_420 2000 maybe?

Yo, just wondering if anyone had suggested adding Isochron Scepter and Paradox Engine yet? It's sort of jank, but with Desperate Ritual or Pyretic Ritual you can make infinite mana... and if I'm not mistaken you could Mind's Desire to play your whole deck at that point.

I would consider Elite Arcanist, Isochron Scepter, and Whispersilk Cloak for this deck. Not all ideal but they can definitely help with continued use of one-of spells.

If you actually have played this deck you'll know those really are not necessary.

i run a much different (admittedly less competitive) Narset deck. omen machine and portcullis makes for excellent board control. sorry don't know how to tag specific cards. new to TCG

I had to take the time to comment about how cool this deck is. I never looked into why Narset was a high tiered commander, but after play testing this I have found out why. She is brutal.
For anyone confused about why Narset is so powerful, give this build a play test. +1 from me, man.

Hey mate,
what a nice and shiny deck u got there! In regards of style i definetely gotta give u a +1.
I got a question regarding the 'competitive' part of this deck. In which playgroup do you play this deck and what are your results?
How would you rank your deck in comparism to other competitive (cEDH) decks? For example: in this quite popular list [List - Multiplayer] EDH Generals by Tier Narset is ranked a tier 2 commander...
Best regards!

I'm thinking that why they rated Narset as a tier 2 was because they used a quite weird build as a reference deck. Mine would have been a tier 1.5 deck considering that it's faster than most tier 2 decks while less consistent than tier 1s. As you may have noticed, I ran very few removals and counterspells, that's because I have to maintain the amount of extra turn/combat or land wipe in order to have the chain reaction going. That might be quite a big problem this deck have, which is being less interactive. However, in order to compensate this, I tried to ramp as much as possible to make this deck a totally proactive deck. You wanna be the one who's asking questions instead of providing answers.

There are some stuff you might consider using: cataclysm, winter orb, static orb, swan song, pyroblast, red elemental blast, silence, dispel, flusterstorm, and stitch in time... those are cards that into mind so far. If you asked for my opinion, I wouldn't use that combo in this deck.
