Tomb of urami seems like a bad choice for a deck like this, as does death cloud. You kinda DON'T want to kill your mana engines in tron

Mycoloth *cough cough*

Ethereal Ambush and Write into Being would be good examples of things to add

what about manifest cards? something like that with a little bit of scry and you could set up easily

I personally would've give with monastery siege so yeah, I agree with you there

For the discard

It has been erratad(?) To badger beast, so yes, it is tribal

Easily. I have a modern narset control and use her as a beefy draw engine, or to rebound a board wipe (thug life right there). I don't think I've ever used her ultimate though

Crazy expensive? Have you SEEN beta lands? This is cheap! Cavern may not be but the shocks are

I always ask new players just what kind of play style they would like to try, or their preferred method of winning and then base a deck off that. Favorite animals, colors, and such are always a fun place to start, or a general theme like knights or zombies.

All good pusch. Recover and get back to this when you can. I do appreciate the experience

Alright so I got a good look at each of them. Scroll rack looks amazing and I think that it's going to find a slot in here. I honestly love necropotence and would love to use it, but triple black does hurt so sadly it won't be going in unless this deck ends up only being two colors (most likely blue black since that's what the feel of the deck is). Fact or fiction isn't bad, but I'm not really a fan of it personally. Mind bomb is just so much trolling that I may include it simply for that. Thirst is okay, but tutor is cheaper and better, and I have like six collecting dust right now. Wheel and deal is nasty and probably will find a spot in here. Diabolic vision is just win, so probably going to run at least three. Ancestral knowledge is nice and I can choose how long I want it out before letting it die, and I can tutor for it!

Honestly not sure how I missed some of these. Guess my search skills are getting rusty. I really do appreciate the help with this by the way. I feel like the deck will primarily blue and black, with tiny splashes of red and white for specific pieces. Now here's the all inclusive question: how do we wrap this up and win?

No I mean, turn 2 you can't car and use leap. Your wording is off. The bit with reaper I'm not concerned with.

I still say my favorite is Training Grounds, Paradise Mantle, and Gilder Bairn. Counters for days!!!!!

Except you can't stack with the creatures put into play from leap because none of them have haste. Major flaw in your plan

That's because it is...

Ok I'll look at each of them and get back to you

I did consider using Containment Priest, but it's only useful if I'm not using creatures and my opponent is, which I can't always count on. Omen screws control over hard if I can get it out, but otherwise it's entirely dependant on what is across the table to determine if I'm going help them or hinder them

Ok so here's the issue with using those two cards: omen machine prevents drawing. I considered brainstorm before and didn't use it because of that, and sylvan library does the same thing. Early game they're great, but eventually they're dead draws once omen is out

Hey I'm okay with that. Let me look at those cards and then make some adjustments. We'll go from there
