RJawesome Arcrummy isn't faster... Arcummy also sucks without haste. I've watched that general get obliterated so many times because it had to sat an entire cycle before being useful.

ToffMcSoft I mean, you aren't entirely wrong, but they run many haste enablers/tutors for haste enablers (more of the latter) to get the combo going, and when it does get going I'd deem it more consistent.

I dislike the deck on the front that there are easier haste pieces against it, and that it runs less interaction, and has a worse late-game, but that is separate from the issue of not having haste, though that would make Arcum much better. Still a powerful option (while not tier 1) for cEDH.

It may have already been answered and I overlooked that comment, but are the fetches necessary? They don't help us with mana fixing and shuffling our library seems easy enough already. Am I missing something?

June 13, 2019 7:23 p.m.

Top deck manipulation. Ever used sensei top to see 3 dead cards on top?, fetch to shuffle. helps you delve, it thins the deck as you have the fetch play and use it to take a land out of your deck making making each future draw potential fuel etc. I wouldn't say fetches are "necessary" but worth, you literally lose nothing by using them, instead you gain alot.

Far too many comments to read through, but if it hasn't been suggested yet how about adding Training Grounds To lower Urza's activated and hasten your strategy by -40% of the regular cost?

TeysaKagachiScion The more free shuffle effects the better in blue in particular. They let you see way more cards with cantrips like brainstorm. Sure urza can do it, but never as early as a fetch land can and 1 life is irrelevant compared to potentially seeing the answers or win cons you are looking for when you need them.

I have a question about UPS I ordered 2 day shipping by air but I wasn't able to slam my PEngine until T4 which is 2 days later than I originally ordered so I was asking if there is some kinda of compensation for shipping that I could get so here is the shipping number its 28lands and can you also look for me and check whether the shipping rates are compatible for T&T express I need my shipment by breakfast.

Hey guys,

I miss some cards in your list and am curious about your decisions to exclude them.

They are:

Fellwar Stone

Spell Pierce / Remand

Tribute Mage / Trinket Mage

Paradoxical Outcome

There are some inclusions I'm not very fond of:

Sleight of Hand

Intuition

Trail of Evidence

Legacy's Allure

Recurring Insight

Could you tell me your reasons for including the later cards in comparism to the earlier mentioned cards?

ToshiroU scroll through the comment section so far, you'll see a lot of answers to your questions.

very nice list +1

Why run Stroke over something like Blue Sun's Zenith ? Mana cost doesn't matter in a mono-colored and with infinite mana you can cast for 100 targeting opponent A, exile again, cast for 100 targeting B, exile again, cast for 100 targeting C.

Three Wishes might not be bad since it's relatively low on the curve and offers good value

I think not having Null Rod in this list deserves some explanation as to why it's not in here.

Null Rod is positively synergistic with Urza, while Urza is on the field.

Ideally, Urza acts as a Bridge Piece for Null Rod, allowing you to walk around something that would be normally debilitating.

Null Rod, by proxy, castrates TCV, and hoses a number of non-Green strats relying on rocks for acceleration.

The only reason why I could see this deck not running it, is because you're only looking to play Urza when you already have infinite mana.

Emphasis on "while urza is on the field" half of your deck are artifacts, and you wont always have urza in the field or protection for him, if he gets removed and you have null rod out you better have alot of islands out or you're done for.

iiTzSeb says... #20

Yeah Null Rod is a dead draw without Urza out and honestly if you want that effect you could go 2 mana up and just play Karn, the Great Creator for an asymmetrical Null Rod effect and some utility in abilities.

Tribute mage not good enough?

June 20, 2019 12:08 p.m.

Has Etherium Sculptor been okay in this list? i've removed him from my own deck as it was fairly redundant, awful draw when you already played your artifacts or have none in hand, plus the artifacts in this deck are already 3cmc or less to see this as "worth" , besides making sensei's top free to combo with future sight it feels like a weak card.

With Lotus Field making it's debut in M20, wouldn't it be a better fit than Saprazzan Skerry ? In terms of speed it's a better turn 1/2 play and doesnt become useless while skerry gets sacced after its depleted

alexplom_ says... #24

Klancik how is Lotus Field better than Saprazzan Skerry ? I surely believe you have not read the card correctly

LustyArgonian says... #25

Klancik Lotus Field would sack itself on enter turn 1/2...
