So basically, use as foretold to help you cast as many of your discarding spells to keep your mana free and capitalize on waste not as much as possible, then swing with a bunch of zombies. I don't really but this as being that great competitively. It has ZERO protection mainboard save for a single four cost spell, and minimal in the sideboard. I get that hand disruption will protect you in a sense, but I still don't like it

*waves to crowd of cheering onlookers*
Thank you! I'm here till Doomsday! ;)

It'd be borderline mythic at that point, casting it and searching for an enchant, then putting it into play attached to it. That's insane power.

...OPEN. THE. ARMORY. Look! A cheaper alternative to pilgrim! That's already in the deck! Imagine that...

I never said researchers let you search, I said there was a card in the deck already that did.

He isn't removing crow or researchers in place of scout, nor would he use a three drop when there is already a two drop that does the same thing in here already.

Flying on flying is sketch yes, but that might also give the opponent the illusion that maybe the deck builder is just a noob until SURPRISE!!! uber lethal storm crow.

Aqueous Form is great, but the deck already has Slip through Space (yeah, I know it's an enchantment vs a one off spell).

Also, your optional doesn't work. its like when you use Sovereigns of Lost Alara to pull Conscription, it doesn't take effect until after combat is finished.

Now again, DID YOU BOTHER TO EVEN READ ANY OF THE COMMENTS OR DECK INFO??????

I think between me and Dedwards, we have this covered. It's not like we haven't been here for all that long...

It's like you didn't bother to read the deck info or any of the comments before posting this...

Priority or not, once Gideon leaves play your opponent would lose. He can resolve all he likes honestly. The issue is a player trying to rush the other player by speaking fast to try and keep his opponent from being able to respond at all, which is a form of cheating. You have to allow your opponent ample time to respond between resolving a permanent and then activating an ability on said permanent. Not doing so would likely result in a judge call on the permanent's controller, resulting in a warning to engage in fair speed of play for both parties. I've seen it happen, and it's not fun for either player. Take your time to play. Don't rush like person A in my previous comment, because that's not fair play.

"I cast Gideon of the Trials, he resolves, then I activate his-
*taps 2 islands*
"Cyclonic Rift"

Yeah warped landscape isn't as good, but I can see the panorama land being better because they do tap for mana. That's a good upside for when you don't need to fetch but do need mana

Open the Armory is a good cheap alternative to use vs Enlightened Tutor. It's worth a minor splash. You could add a single plains and either Flooded Strand or one of the basic fetchlands like Evolving Wilds (I don't recomend them if this is competitive because the land you fetch enters tapped)

the updated legend rule states that two players can have the same legendary anything at the same time. planeswalkers are not legendary and follow a different rule, which states that a single player can only have one of any type at any given time. casting a second gideon results in you having to sacrifice one of them

You realize that the legend rule applies to every single Gideon cast, so you'll only have one out at a time right?

Aura Finesse doesn't attach Conscription in the hand to Storm Crow. You would have to use the Aura Swap ability. Plus if you already have Conscription on Researchers, why not just swing with it? If you have Slip through Space, it's damage either way. I feel like you could drop Finesse for something better here honestly.

one is plenty. just discard the others with the first ones ability

Can't have 'Barter in Blood' in here. It's black.

He has eight fetch lands and arbor is a forest. He'll get it plenty

You're forgetting Dryad Arbor. Effectively that makes it a one mana activation cost, even though I understand that it's really just crewing it like normal. There may be only one arbor, but it's still a good possibility. Plus there's always the rare possibility of not having anything you can play and using this to dig for something you can, which is one of the reasons why it was so abused in standard to begin with.

Nasty good. I'd love to play it, but not against it

Ordruun Veteran will be getting swapped with Combat Celebrant from Amonkhet. Also debating a slot for Throne of the God-Pharaoh, but not sure on that one yet

Dude. You don't have to hashtag your tags. Also, too many noon sliver cards in here. Slivers are a predominately creature based build. You need less mana fixing one off spells and more permanent solutions (pun doubly intended). Also, you don't need so many tutors. Your commander IS a tutor. That's plenty. Also you should double check what you have in here with keyword abilities. Winged sliver for example is more than Galerider sliver. Stuff like that
