I made a first round of cuts. {Dream Fracture} [Return to Nature] [Tribute to the Wild] [Diminishing Returns]. Added 4 basics as placeholders. More to come.

I didn't look too close on what to drop out but would 100% recommend a Teferi's Puzzle Box

Thanks Whitiger_77, Teferi's Puzzle Box is a good recommendation and I see it in a lot of xyris decks. I may sub it in for one of the other wheels after playing this deck a few times.

I picked up a Horn of Greed and need to cut one card to fit it in.

Debuted the deck today. Won first two games. First out on the third game because some people just don’t like hugs! Overall cery excited about this deck. Needs more speed. Maybe a Chrome Mox.

Mylie Xyris is getting some new weapons.

I'm addressing the mana issue with Cryptolith Rite -beefing up token production with Adrix and Nev, Twincasters -improving tutor with Worldly Tutor

removing Gruul Turf, Frantic Search, Vexing Shusher, and Spellskite

Shusher and spellskite are extremely valuable cards here. Honestly wouldn’t cut them

Thanks Pikobyte. I originally added them because I was studying your badass Xyris deck. I like them but felt they are about the same as having a counterspell or arcane denial handy. What do you suggest I cut to put them back in?

Sry, did read your question way too late. You didn’t ping me so I couldn’t see it. You’re right with counterspell or denial but….. having a counterspell the moment you need it is fairly difficult when wheeling your hand away multiple times a turn. Shusher and spellskite sit on the board and stay there if you wheel. Always ready to make your stuff uncounterable (shusher can also make opponents spells uncounterable if it benefits you) or protect your commander like spellskite does. Spellskite can also protect your valuable artifacts and enchantments (since most enchantment-removal can also target artifacts) or can steal your opponents buff and protection spells. Like instants that make a creature indestructible, give protection or even steal auras if you’re playing against a voltron deck for the price of 1 blue or 2 life. It really enables a lot of shenanigans, is really cheap for 2 and with 4 toughness quite a good early game blocker.

Thanks Pikobyte those are good points... now I want to put them back in.

You’re welcome

I like the deck! It seems like you run a lot of symmetrical draw type cards, and while that does make more Snake Tokens over time, it might be too advantageous for your opponents. I've had a few games where the extra cards our opponents drew off of Horn of Greed were much more valuable than us creating a few Snake Tokens, so I personally don't run a ton of those cards in my Xyris deck.

Vexing Shusher is an excellent idea, I'm going to work on finding a way to slot it into mine. Being able to make our Wheels uncounterable feels really good, especially since our opponents might be finding fresh Counterspells in their new hands.

One suggestion I would give is Splendid Reclamation. It's a fantastic late game card after you've wheeled a few times. You might not need the extra mana, but it's always nice to have.

That’s why you win with your first wheel UltimateRoxas40, so your opponents don’t have time to benefit from their cards. First wheel usually leads to a big mana and cardadvantage and makes you play the next wheel and do on and just win on the spot after you made like 100+ tokens, 200+ mana and drew half your deck. Your deck looks a lot like an early version of mine and may get to that point too if you keep refining it. I streamlined it and removed all cards that were to slow like puzzlebox and locust god

Pikobyte Yeah, if I had the budget, I'd be including some of the cards in your deck like Earthcraft and Gaea's Cradle to make the deck more competitive, but those are a little pricey for me at the moment, and my Xyris deck is already oppressive enough with my playgroup lol.

I do like your line with Underworld Breach. I just traded for one a while ago, I'll work on slotting it in.

Proxies exist @UltimateRoxas40, but you could make it work the same way easily without those 2 cards too
