Thanks man! I was wondering if I should red source card draw but I think Dig actually strengthens this deck by delving excess lands.

anything you can use to eat your graveyard is great here, you will be throwing a lot in there. im thinking of building this as grixis and running gurmag angler and tasigur. or run den protector to retrieve cards from the graveyard

It's a bit expensive though

I know, but I don't like decks that are so expensive it'd be hard to justify buying it for a year.

I mean it's resonable. Don't think there is a competitive deck under 100 right now

True, but you could cut this deck to $30, which is 1/5 of the price. You juts need to get rid of Jace. This is an amazing deck, but I feel like Jace is useful, but not essential. And, if it means cutting the price by 1/5, an saving $123, I'd go for it. Maybe I'm missing Jace's purpose in this deck, but I'd guess it's for his cast from graveyard power. Which is good, but if it means saving $123 for a quintessential card, I'd say go for it. I'm the kind of player who wants to save some money if it means cutting a good but not essential card. And I mean, this is $123. If it was under $20 I'd say do it. but $123?

I think you should just by a playset of jaces anyways, if you look through standard, legacy, modern its played in most blue decks. if control is your type of deck you need em. if not then just don't by any expensive blue cards. problem solved!

Well, but Vryn's Prodigy isn't good for control. His big minus is mill, which is good in a MILL DECK. His middle ability is good, but not $123. His plus is admittedly good, but -2, -0 isn't worth 3 slots which could have slots for land to born, and save $123.

To be fair, I think Jace has gone up in price a bit since i brewed this version of the deck. As the only other permanent on your board other than lands and Vortex, he really helps defensively. He is initially a blocker who is super easy to transform in this deck. As a planes, he takes attention away from you for damage and can weaken opponents attacks with his +1. And his +2 lets you Dig more often.

His +1 is useful for attacks, and his -3 is admittedly good, but not $123 good. You could instead run Dragon's Eye Savants, which is a 2 mana (same cost) 0,6 with Morph, and when turned face up target opponent reveals their hand. It is standard, and costs 16 cents. I think that it is over all better.

And, if your smart you'll never attack jace. In this deck, he is useless exempt for his -3, so any smart opponent will just go for you.

I totally agree that Jace isn't worth the money. If you happen to have them though, then I think they are a good fit here.

Hmm, that's up for disagreement, but what ever. I'd personally run more land, or counter spells, or something like that. I have a deck that's a clone of this one, here:

I made some adjustments to make this deck Standard legal again. Dig Through Time had to go. Added Fevered Visions. I have no idea how it plays now.
