Best card draw in UW?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Sept. 7, 2016, 11:08 a.m. by GeminiSpartanX
Hello! I'm looking to improve my UW voltron deck with some additional repeatable card advantage cards. I already have Rhystic Study, and Consecrated Sphinx as well as some mana rocks that I can cash in for cards later on if I need to. I'd just like to get some additional ideas from the collective experience you all have. Remember, I'd prefer a repeatable source of card draw rather than Divination sorts of cards. Thanks!

- Mystic Remora
- Mind's Eye
- Sphinx's Revelation isn't repeatable but very good
- Coercive Portal kind of? Depends on how competitive you are.
- Mesa Enchantress if you're heavy on enchantments
- Puresteel Paladin if equipment heavy
- Vedalken Archmage has a high CMC but maybe

ducttapedeckbox- I was actually thinking of a replacement for the Mystic Remora already in my deck lol. I should probably specify what my deck does as well. It's enchantment voltron with Bruna, Light of Alabaster as the commander. I used to run Mesa Enchantress in it, but found that I was more often just putting the auras into play with Bruna's triggered ability than 'casting' them. Staff of Nin and Mind's Eye both look ok though somewhat expensive cmc-wise. I'll also consider Sphinx's Revelation.

Ah that helps a bit. Mystic Remora is by far my top recommendation. Even if you just pay for the upkeep for turns 1-3 and hit your land drops, you'll be set for a while.
Bident of Thassa maybe?

Bident of Thassa is a pretty good idea. I have a Curiosity in there right now that's been somewhat lackluster. I just might need to try it!

It will also help trigger Bruna's ability by getting her something to block.

Curiosity plus unblockable enchantments like Unquestioned Authority, Aqueous Form, and Steel of the Godhead.
Maybe work in a Jace, Memory Adept for some extra draw.

Land Tax and Thassa, God of the Sea are both enchantment sources of repeatable "card advantage" though they aren't auras.

I really like Bident of Thassa especially if you can get in there with fliers. If you're considering bident you could also look into Coastal Piracy

Kor Spiritdancer and Sage's Reverie could be useful if you are aura heavy.

Good suggestions sofar!
I have a Sage's Reverie
in the deck already and it rocks with Bruna! The Land Tax suggestion is a good one. I also forgot about the white creature that also gets lands out of your deck that most people run (Weathered Wayfarer).
