MTG Salvation

This is my take on Uyo, Silent Prophet. This is just a rough draft, as I haven't quite decided what I want this deck to be or how to use Uyo to get fullest potential.

It's mostly built as a 'goodstuff' blue deck at the moment, with a few fun spells to copy with Uyo as well as a few ways to put lands back into play.

Suggestions are welcome.

I didn't realize that the sorcery cards weren't showing up properly when I first posted this, and have fixed the list.

I intend to put this deck together tonight and start play testing it this weekend. ^.^

C14 update.

Out
Island

In
Myriad Landscape

Not much of a change. So far, the deck has been fun. ^.^ The only card I'm really on the fence about had been Crucible of Worlds, but there's plenty of MLD in my group, so I doubt it's coming out.

I like your banner, did you do that yourself?

I had to actually read what your commander does as I didn't remember lol. My first thought was I would love to mash the commanders ability up with Blatant Thievery and just hijack as many lands as you can lol. It would probably take some mana doublers to really pull off though.

Cool looking deck! Have you considered Talrand, Sky Summoner as an alternate win condition?

Thanks! I've kind of been on the fence about Talrand. He does work, but he has to survive, which is hard to do in my playgroup. >.<

Also, I notice that you're not running any cheap card draw at all, it may be personal preference but I'd suggest trying to find room for Brainstorm, Ponder and Impulse at least.

It's probably the green player/Timmy in me, but I've never really like those small value spells. They just feel... miniscule. I know they're not, but I love splashy effects. I'll look at where I can maybe fit a spell or two in, though.

As for Crucible, Cephalid Coliseum can combine with it to make a pretty powerful draw engine.

And ohhh. I forgot to add Coliseum! Thanks.

I still need to find a Blatant Thievery for the deck. Although I did win earlier today by getting infinite colorless with Rings of Brighthearth and Basalt Monolith, and then casting Eternal Dominion and copying it four times, sending four of the triggers at an Azami player to get Arcanis the Omnipotent, Swiftfoot Boots, Laboratory Maniac, and Mind over Matter. It was hilarious and no one saw it coming.

Ixidron, Duplicant,and Perplexing Chimera all put in good work in my mono-blue.

I like Commandeer, but others says it's too situational. No Fact or Fiction? Curse of the Swine is amazing. Especially with your commander. Also I'm going to promote a pet card of mine: Cultural Exchange. It's always fun and can also break backs. I love giving other players, their opponents' Hexproof-Voltron-Commander.

Mono-Blue!

I've never liked Fact or Fiction. I honestly think it's overrated as I don't consider it to be auto include for blue. Personal opinion, but without much recursion in the deck, it's easy to be burned by it.

Duplicant is part of my maybe board, I'd need to find one, and then find a spot for it. Curse of Swine is in a similar boat. I do have it, I just am having trouble making cuts for it. I really like most of the spells I'm running, which has made it difficult to make changes.

I think that the Chimera is funny, but I do run a lot of big spells, and it could backfire. Ixidron seems pretty situational.

Other than that, Commandeer seems like our wouldn't be worth it unless a really big spell is cast. Cultural Exchange is also tough, as it's less useful in a creature light meta.

Sorry if the responses were kind of short, I'm replying from my phone.

You always get the stack of your choice though... I don't think I have made a blue deck without it (ok edric...). The mana cost and how far it digs you are what sells me on it.

I actually agree with this, and personally I run one or both of Frantic Search and Deep Analysis way before I even consider Fact or Fiction in most decks.

I also prefer those kinds of spells to it. ^.^

As far as random chance goes, I have pretty awful luck. Usually it had involved me getting two cards I want/need and having to lose one of them. I just prefer running spells that I have more choice with.

I know that some people swear by it, I've just never had much luck with the spell. ^.^

Edit: Because this deck accomplished its goal the other day, I've been thinking about throwing Thassa, God of the Sea together. >.< I'm gonna have to think on it. I like this deck, but I can see it getting old quickly.
