Hey guys! I'm building a Phoebe, Head of S.N.E.A.K. Commander deck, where the goal is to play a "bag of tricks" style deck, with evasive creatures, the ability to steal cards from my opponents, as well as some graveyard shenanigans.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggested cards or strategies to get this deck underway!
I would run quite a bit of artifact mana and lands that can produce any mana, because there will be some commanders/creatures who have activated abilities. So Fellwar Stone, Gilded Lotus, Chromatic Lantern, Coalition Relic are all good fixers.
Because you can basically steal all the creatures on the board in a way, I think your "stealing" cards should focus on things that can get non-creature permanents: Dragonlord Silumgar, Blatant Thievery,
Would phone still be able to steal after the first creature or would the ability disappear afterwards? (It does t replace her text box right?)
the closest answer I can find is Phoebe now has her own text box in addition to the one she stole and maybe If Phoebe has abilities that contradict one another, the most recently added one wins.
also If Phoebe leaves the battlefield, the stolen text boxes are lost. She doesn’t keep them, and she certainly doesn’t give them back to their original owners. if you can bounce her.......also Modular Monstrosity and Rules Lawyer also X
You can bring the text box back by blinking it. (Since of course, it forgets that it lost it once it leaves the battlefield.)
And remember, you draw a card for each instance of Curiosity when she hits. The defending player discards a card for each instance of the Specter ability. Each instance of old-school poison is another poison counter. (Note that this does not work with infect because it changes the way damage is dealt.) Et cetera.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
