Easy, there :)

You seem a little desperate to question a newcomer that fast :)

No need to rush it :)

So, 28 likes in 5 years :)
I still stand by the land discussion...

I think the second releases hint at the order of the events, but we are missing two more clues at the order.

I remember the iceage meta fondly.
So many different things were happening in magic at that time, and though most thought of it as a "combo winter" it was a lot more than that. Sligh was a thing that I was trying to examine with computer simulations back then.

I got 2 echoing truth and 3 spellstutter sprite in my own stuff.

It might not be worth the blue, the only instant that can blink a land is teferi's time twist.
It a common though, so it will be easy to get. It can save and grow a creature.

No problem :)

A fast look through the meta.
Familiars, monowhite heroic and kilnfiend are decks that contain 0 power creatures, against these decks it's a bolt that draws you a card.

I didn't look at the walls decks, which was a bit silly :)

But I think if you go carefully through your weakest matchups you might find it to be a really good sideboard card.

Think of it like this.
It's a cantrip, so you can always just switch some of the opponents attackers.
You won't get a card behind because you draw a card.
Also does any of the tier decks play creatures with 0 power ?

Maw does it by itself, but you usually don't dedicate it to a switch out of fear of a bolt, so being able to "reset" the maw is part of the fun.

And you can target the opponents creatures too.

I've recently posted a build with fat end creatures, called "the end".

I'm sure there's some cheap fat end eldrazi too.
Nah, there was only two that looked a little interesting.

A few Inside out could be worth the surprise.

I did search for blink cards that targeted your own permanents, but theres nothing for white in that.
Maybe blue has something if you ever go azorius.

One synergy you might have missed because I only see 1 seijiri steppe in the list, you can actually bounce lands with the kor skyfisher...

Here's the project masterpage.

Don't click follow on me, you'll get totally swamped by my endless updates that happen several times daily.

Take a look at the decktag: counterlings
Which might be usefull to your ur-ninjas.

Echoing truth was used a lot by faerie decks of the past as a "lock" by bouncing spellstutter sprites.
It's also a way to get more draw with ninja of the deep hours.

It's my intention to invade modern with it.
So you might find coverage on modern cards you never thought about, both in modern and pauper.
I'm extremely ambitious and have trained two persons to professional levels, one becoming champion several times, the other got really competitive but got out of touch so I don't know anything about him anymore.

Heh, the list is a prototype, I'm pretty sure I could develop it into something brutal.
These days I only work with halfdecks, but that shouldn't be a barrier. I'm working a bit on pestilence in one of my other halfdecks, and the plan is to one day expand my 30 halfdecks into 60 halfdecks.

When I was most competitive I researched my own results a lot, and decks that I brought to the meta for longer periods were adapted to, so at first they performed great, then they started to go downhill.

At that time I started up a project with a "random" playlist where I had planned out what to take to the tournament a year ahead, with a scrambled playlist. It was a roaring success, while I adapted to the meta overall, noone could pinpoint what I brought to the tournament. I had 6 decks with very different game plans.

Since halfdecks can be thrown together at random. It does the same thing. I'm prepairing to adapt against my 64 proxy testdecks from 2018, (so far it's been merfolk alone just to reach a certain level.)

It's a heck of a project, but at some time I will be able to couple a pestilence deck with a power switcher deck and see some good results.

The process is a bit "glacial" because it's such a huge project.

Thanx for the zendikar headup :)

Oh, yeah, kataki went up shortly after treasure tokens became popular, and neon dynasty and a few other artifact heavy sets kept it crawling :)

I remember when I started using it mainboard in 2018.
I was late at a tournament because of a friends lax attitude towards meeting early at tourneys. So the first game against an opponent was an auto loss, so my opponent looked rather confident. He played affinity, so when I dropped
Kataki on turn 2 he was pretty shocked.

When your opponent is forced uo spend mana on attacking you simply start dividing their attention with other costs...

Ghostly prison, kataki, war's wage and similar :)
