All that blue and no Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to take advantage?

Penthoplayer I only have 15 blue permanents rarely do I actually obtain a decadent threshold of blue devotion. I'll try it out though.

thanks for the suggestion.

This deck is fantastic! What about Mind Spring?

August 15, 2016 9:24 a.m.

lefty117 says... #5

Thank you Mr_Manuelgb. I left Mind Spring out for a couple of reasons.

First and foremost it is a sorcery speed.

And secondly it can not target an opponent for an alternative win condition.

Thanks Shane.Allen I ment to say this sooner but I guess it never posted.

Invoke Prejudice is one of my favorite blue cards, I'm very happy I get to play it.

It's one of mine too, I've thought about putting it in my Oloro deck so many times, I love that card.

And you're very welcome :)

Shane.Allen I think it'd be hard to slot in to a tri-color deck because of the UUUU casting cost. however if any tri-colorate could do it yours probably could.

Shane.Allen says... #9

Thank you, your words are very kind. I actually only cast Oloro when I want to draw cards, so that's what would make the card fun.

pretty cool. reminds me of a friend's Kira, Great Glass-Spinner deck.

I thought i'd mention to you that the tag "cruel control" refers to an old modern archetype that built around winning with Cruel Ultimatum. thought it was a little amusing to see a mono-blue deck with that tag =P

Thanks lithium142

I have it listed under Cruel Control because of a couple reasons. Other I have played against have described it as cruel and I have seen other deck in there not focused on Cruel Ultimatum and not even in the colors in some commander decks cases.

I have a lot to suggest for your deck, hope some of those suggestions will be helpful:

Counterspells:

  • Arcane Denial - no comments, it is just very powerful counterspell and draw spell
  • Swan Song - For just one mana it can counter so many things!
  • Delay - nothing to say, very fast counterspell
  • Unsubstantiate - very versatile counterspell

Tutor and draw spells:

Creatueres:

Creature hate (I highly recommend You to use at least one of these):

Lands and mana:

Thanks Matrixxx999 for taking the time to come up with suggestions. Id like to not before going in to this, like all commander decks its very hard to edit the cards in the deck sometimes it feels like pulling teeth.

Counterspells:

  • Swan Song Is supposed to go in once I find a card worth replacing it with.
  • Arcane Denial I have thought about running this however the fact my opponent gets to draw cards has kept me away.
  • Delay I have found that Remand has this one beat. I would rather my opponent recast hen get the card in 3 turns.
  • Unsubstantiate Lobe this counter however room is my only issue.

Tutor and draw spells:

  • Intuition I have issues with this tutor in this type of deck. I might just need to warm up to it though. Maybe.
  • Thirst for Knowledge I run Frantic Search because it lets me untap and cast more and larger spells after casting. I found the the discard 3 isn't a big issue
  • Mystic Confluence All ready in the works, I just need to get it
  • Mystic Remora Thought about this, Been thinking about it for a few weeks now. but rooms the big issue.
  • Transmute Artifact Once I get the finances I will be adding this if i can find room.

Creatures:

Great Whale is good for a second infinite mana combo. It works with Deadeye Navigator and also Capsize with High Tide

beastyboya says... #16

i like invoke prejudice ive wanted to use it in a deck for a while now

December 11, 2016 7:19 p.m.

beastyboya says... #17

what is memnarch for

December 11, 2016 7:29 p.m.

HezTheGod says... #18

@ beastyboya Memnarch is used as a common "infinite mana dump." He lets you gain control of all permanents and basically win. (unless your opponent is running a nice suspend deck that is)

beastyboya says... #19

true, i realized that a little while after
Nice deck!

December 13, 2016 5:56 p.m.

oh lol i don't pay attention to the names so i just assumed it was urs lol

lefty117 says... #22

Thank you @Hezthegod for answering the question. I have been busy and haven't had the time to get on much.

@beastyboya everything he said about Memnarch is correct, however I have plans to remove him. I just don't use him, if I can there are better things I'm doing too.

Penthoplayer says... #24

A few potential sideboard options for wishing are Opt for filtering, Stifle for one-off triggers, Summary Dismissal for Eldrazi, Time Stop for taking an extra turn if it's 1v1, or stop someone from winning, Unsummon for more pesky creatures like Damia, Remove Soul for general creature counter, and Spell Pierce for non-creatures, since I can't come up with a better option right now. I'm trying to keep low mana costs on this, since you have to add Wish's mana cost when figuring these out.

Penthoplayer says... #25

Oh yeah, Soldevi Excavations also has good utility mainboard.
