For the record, if we end up including Beetleform Mage , I think it'd be wise to take out one Wind Drake and add Gruul Cluestone for another green source/draw, just to minimize risk.

While that is a generally good idea for a "normal" draft deck, I think our combo-heavy plan may falter if we try too hard to make the rest of the deck "good".

1.) Uncovered Clues
2.) Awe for the Guilds
3.) Riot Piker

I chose Awe for the Guilds for two reasons. First, it activates our cyclops. Second, it grants evasion if we happen to be facing a swarmed board or don't have enough Hidden Strings in hand.

Ok. Still waiting on TiredTofu, actiontech, Draugo and Agog.

I will be moving for about 4-5 days. Ignore me in this, I will vote if I can.

At this point I feel it my duty to yield to my team captain. He's the one that has to pilot the deck and if he feels more comfortable with a certain card in this one slot, well, who am I to argue? So consider my vote whatever Darkness1835 wants to play here.

  1. Uncovered Clues
  2. Give / Take
  3. Beetleform Mage

All of these are in very close contention for me, and I'd be happy to see any of them picked.

Also, for either of these green options, I'm in favor of dropping a drake for the Cluestone.

If Darkness1835 does want to veto a particular pick, that's fine by me, by the way. I don't want him to be uncomfortable playing a particular card, but I will stand by my suggestions until then! =D

Shall we go 7 mountains rather than 7 islands? The simic guild gate gives the 7th blue mana source.

Can't remember who pointed it out earlier, but it was a good point.

I'll be counting totals in an hour and a half.

It is between Beetleform Mage and Uncovered Clues . Please vote accordingly.

August 2, 2013 2:51 a.m.

+1 Uncovered Clues . This format should be slowish, so we should stick to our fast combo plan.

Darkness1835 says... #17

In playtesting i was running dry on activators, and I think it'd be too messy to reconstruct the deck for more green sources in order to play Beetleform Mage . I'm going to go with Uncovered Clues as well.

August 2, 2013 3:01 a.m.

Agog says... #18

+1 Uncovered clues

agree that the shortage of green sources makes Beetleform Mage unreliable

3-0 as of now. Prevailed is moving and unable to vote, so just one more vote for Clues seals the deal.

August 2, 2013 3:28 a.m.

TiredTofu says... #20

Clues it is!

August 2, 2013 3:49 a.m.

Darkness1835 says... #21

Indeed. Our deck is finalized. I'll let Caley know.

This is exciting! Finally we get to see if our Skyclops deck is all that it appears to be.

When does the first round of games start?

August 2, 2013 8:27 a.m.

actiontech says... #23

Repeat my earlier recommendation that we pull 1 island and add 1 mountain.

August 2, 2013 8:30 a.m.

I see where your head is for the manabase, but we have more blue in the deck than red. If we get one red source, we're good for the entire game. We may need more than one blue source in order to play multiple activators in a turn, though. Hidden Strings is cheap enough to cast twice in a turn, but not if we only have one island out.

Agog says... #25

When do the games begin?

I'm pretty happy with our deck - good work guys!
