I don't have any personally identifiable info on mtgvault so they can scour my posts all they like, they won't find anything.
And no I'm not righteousbrightgirl whoever that is.

I have [[Aether Vial]] to cheat it out, but probably could use more. It is actually a very strong part of the deck when you get down to playtesting it. I'll see if I can find some more and better ways to ramp and cheat battletide in.

I think you seem legit, but it sounds like wickeddarkman has had to deal with some really shitty people in the past. Probably just a coincidence that your name matches their MO.

Yeah [[Prismatic Ending]] is really good and I could see it as a pretty decent removal option for this deck even though it doesn't really run white. Shouldn't be too hard to splash. I'll try and playtest it when I get a chance! Thanks for the feedback!

Try reading [[Battletide Alchemist]] a little closer. Hint: The effect stacks. I'll take a look at playtesting field of ruin.
But as for the Battletide Alchemist, the general flow of the deck is to fog with kami/children until you can set up the lock with battletide. It's incredibly powerful and worth the five mana imo.

I think you may have too many equipments here. I would go down to just [[Kaldra Compleat]] and [[Sword of Fire and Ice]] in the main board. [[Batterskull]] can stick around in the sideboard and come in place of Kaldra when you need a more lifegain based approach (or if you find that maybe you need the vigilance). [[Sword of Hearth and Home]] isn't worth the slot in my opinion. Soul herder fills the role of blinking once a turn and you'd rather not spend resources blinking stoneforge mystic just to get another equipment. I would also run [[Priest of Fell Rites]] as wickeddarkman suggested. Maybe swap it for the Tidehollow Skuller as it doesn't give you permanent card pressure on your opponent. Priest can return grief though which will then permanently remove the card giving you a better advantage, but its also able to return other things like Solitude or even a countered/removed stoneforge mystic giving it a lot more versatility.

I haven't playtested it, but it seems like you might flood on blink instants slightly. If you're only running two Solitude I don't think you need 3 cloudshift. I would either go for two, or go up to 3 Solitude and run 4 grief 3 solitude 4 ephemerate 3 cloudshift.

I'm not sure the Callous Bloodmage or Dusk Legion Zealot really fit. I think you've got them in here for card advantage, but they seem a bit too heavy to me just for that. I would consider investing a little more into blue for some cantrips like [[Opt]] [[Serum Visions]] [[Baleful Strix]] [[Archmage\'s Charm]] or [[Jace, the Mind Sculptor]]. Baleful Strix is particularly good because it synergizes with your blink theme. ETB triggers are what you want to thrive off of.

Just looked at his only deck... wtf... that literally makes no sense. Even if you drew anything but islands, you can only cast a 2 mana artifact that does nothing because you can't cast any creatures...

Wow... people are dumb

Makes sense. I've also seen your posts getting randomly downvoted for no reason... Like someone is going around just finding all your posts and downvoting them. Seems kinda low...

Seems a bit paranoid but oddly feasible...
In any case, regardless, its just a good idea in general not to put out too much information about yourself on the internet where anyone can read it anyway.

Well thats annoying... Has the mtgvault community fallen that low?

Awww... That's unfortunate

Oh I can absolutely think of a bunch of cards I'd like to bring in, but who wants to spend 4 mana to put a chalice of the void in hand? Yes you can use it multiple times, but honestly how long is karn gonna stick on the field anyway. And you just spent all your mana to cast him so hes pretty much an open target unless you've got a bridge out, but even then you're up to 1 card in hand unless you want that 4 mana chalice to be on 0... I just don't see the value. There are much better things for the slot.

What if you have a card that has a ' in it like Teferi's Protection? Do you just drop it like [[Teferis Protection]]?

Ooooh okay. Thats weird but now I know! Thanks haha

I will consider Abiding Grace. the 3cc is a little steep but just low enough to potentially be good. I'll have to playtest it but thanks for the suggestion!

Thinning the deck is exactly the reason this deck runs fetches (The only reason you would ever use fetches in a mono-colored deck anyway). But you should never underestimate the power of thinning your deck.

Doesn't work :/

[[Dawn Charm]]

Honestly I really don't see what you would want from the sideboard that isn't already in the lantern core to warrant 4 mana. Adding karn just seems like it would unfocus the deck.

But now those are subject to Dawn Charm :)
btw how do you hover-link cards? I haven't been able to figure it out
