8 Mystic
Deck Help forum

I saw the new Frilled Mystic and I want to make a deck built around them.
I have this so far:

It needs better aggro creatures.

I like mystics as the top end but do you have any other sudgestions?

I think you should cut a few of the 1-mana creatures that bounce something, as they don't do anything useful on turn 1 other than bounce themselves, and add cards like Coiling Oracle , Augur of Bolas , or Shardless Agent . Ideally you want things that give you cards or leave a permanent effect when they enter.

You could consider adding effects like Essence Flux , Cloudshift , and Momentary Blink to abuse ETB triggers. If you run temporary theft effects, C-shift can also be used as a perma-steal.

Shardless is a good idea. What about some more aggressive <4 mana creatures?

add the deck to this site, instead of giving a link to another site.

I have been constructing my own Mystic Snake/Frilled Mystic deck, and I run Watcher for Tomorrow for early card advantage in addition to Coiling Oracle and Nulltread Gargantuan funny enough. I've only playtested the Gargantuan thus far but someone else I saw online seemed to enjoy it (cannot remember name). Cackling Counterpart is real versatile, too for 8+ Mystic. Here is my deck, if you want to see how it goes together.

I was actually revamping my thought process on the deck and Coiling Oracle is the weaker of itself and Sakura-Tribe Elder . Elder does the same thing every time. This is one of those fringy plans that I couldn't make work in Modern

Good point, Steve is much more efficient considering, probably works much better in Modern.

I think it's a good concept, being able to reuse the mystic by bouncing it, but most of your bounce effects are low-cost and the things you want to bounce are high. I'd try adding more low-cost stuff that have enter-the-battlefield effects. Merfolk Branchwalker comes to mind.
