Satyr Wayfinder Replacements
Standard forum

So I've been brewing a bit for Standard and trying out a Sultai Control list similar to the one that saw play in the last standard season, but I've hit a slight road block in that Satyr Wayfinder is no longer standard legal, which makes the deck a lot more difficult to get off the ground.
I've done a little digging and found that Sultai Charm and Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Flip seem to be the best ways I've found to help fuel Delve. Unfortunately, Charm is often needed for other things and Jace is $50. So, I'm looking for another decent way to get cards into my yard for a Control deck (so Gather the Pack isn't really that great).

I use Sultai Ascendancy, its a really underated card

@Boza - he's playing a control list, so the creature count will be too low for Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and she costs too much to just use her for the mill.

Um in the new set is Seek the Wilds. Draw it early and it helps you find the lands you need like the wayfinder. Draw it late it helps find a creature. There is also Sylvan Scrying to hit help hit land drops and Gather the Pack is actually great in a dedicated delve deck because like the wayfinder and Commune with the Gods it actually puts stuff in the graveyard. Turn 3 it allows you to find and cast tasigur or (if you fetched a couple lands) Gurmag Angler.

Satyr Wayfinder was a very good card to print right before Khans and all the delve that came with it. Unfortunately now your only going to get bits and pieces of what that card could do in the form of other cards.
meecht mentions Taigam's Scheming which will help filter what you need and don't need in your graveyard but doesn't help with the land.
The new Seek the Wilds kind of does that but doesn't feed the graveyard.
At instant speed for 2 extra mana than Taigam's Scheming you could use Sudden Reclamation.
Or there is even Scout the Borders
None of these are Satyr Wayfinder because your not getting a land, creature, and at least three cards in the graveyard for 2 mana but some of these aren't horrible for decks with delve, flashback, and recursion.

There isn't anything left on the same level as Wayfinder. All you have is stuff like Taigam's Scheming and Dark Deal.
