MTG Salvation

In regards to your decklist has Neoform, or Lezotep Plating made a place in your deck at all??

I've made extensive changes to the OP, including adding sections on mulligans, sequencing, and matchups.

Thank you for this awesome resource on Ezuri. It helped me optimize my own build for my playgroup, which seems to be winning most games nowadays.
Have you considered Finale of Devastation? For me, it's been better than Birthing Pod. Having the backup of getting creatures back from the grave as well as finding them in the library is a great safety net and redundancy.
Keep up the great work!

I thought about it, and have been considering testing it. I feel like it'd be a 2CMC Green Sun's Zenith in most cases? I rarely want to recur, but maybe the tutoring versatility makes it good enough.

Well, since it can find creatures of any color, including Sage of Hours it is better than Zenith, in my opinion.
With it I had opponents counter the Sage only to bring it right back.
Also, for finding Sage, it's cheaper than Pod.
So, I'm a huge fan.

I know Modern Horizions hasn't been fully released yet. But at this moment are there any cards you are thinking of adding to this decklist??

Collector Ouphe, Deep Forest Hermit, Prismatic Vista, and Waterlogged Grove are looking like they're gonna make it in.

I have an idea of what you would cut for the 2 land cards.

But for the 2 creature cards what would you cut for them??

Beast Whisperer and either Birthing Pod or Trygon Predator are my likely cuts. Ouphe turning off Pod and it being one of the slower remaining cards are making me lean toward removing it.

How good would gitaxian probe be in this deck?

On average how many cards do you usually find yourself drawing with mystic remora per game. When do you stop paying the cumulative upkeep cost?

what do you think about the Hexdrinker?

Gitaxian Probe is good filler. I'm not running it because right now, every card in the deck has proven useful enough times to not cut it, but Probe is a worthwhile inclusion.

As for Mystic Remora, it draws 2-3 cards if I don't pay the cumulative upkeep. Normally I'll play it turn 2 or 3, depending on how many dorks I have, and paying the cumulative upkeep also depends on whether or not drawing more cards is worth compromising my sequencing/mana efficiency. It's been decent so far.

Hexdrinker does not belong in competitive EDH. Life totals and damage rarely matter unless you can one-shot someone.

I have been analyzing the place of Kiora, the ability to potentially bring a creature and a land looks very useful, you think that in this deck is superior to Jace, The Mind Sculptor and his brainstorm? both cost (4) I think Kiroa's advantage is that it helps "filter" the top, right? either way both enter after ezuri, they are mid game cards, kiora could enter before but I do not see much profit, at least you have a super land or a remarkable manadork to untap.

Kiora's advantages are numerous. She is easier to cast, allows me to untap multiple mana sources to potentially hold up a counter, digs a card deeper than Jace, and allows me to use Yisan multiple times in a turn. I'm not interested in a 4-mana sorcery-speed Brainstorm; I am interested in a card that digs quickly and can help add more mana with Gaea's Cradle.

Kiora is often cast before Ezuri; digging for a protection creature or a land so you have counter mana up when you cast Ezuri can be important.

Have you gone and added Collector Ouphe, Deep Forest Hermit, Prismatic Vista, and Waterlogged Grove to your personal decklist yet??

List updated.

Just wanted to say this deck is frigging great. Good design man. not very often I see something in CEDH forum that strikes me as really cool, and this is super cool. Nice to see something than the same pile of 30 cantrips, tutors and mana rocks with the same suite of removal spells, and then a different combo.

Very nice deck. I've just started brewing deck with Ezuri and your primer is good inspiration.

Is there a reason for not running Mulldrifter? 2 cards + Exp. counter for 2U (evoke) sounds great to me.

3 mana for 2 cards is not a great rate in cEDH. Normally Cold-Eyed Selkie and Fathom Mage draw me more than 2 cards each turn, whereas Beast Whisperer often did not and thus got the axe. I've kept Duskwatch Recruiter around since it can both accelerate and dig for relevant cards. For what it's worth, I'd probably play Mulldrifter at 1U.

What do you think about Veil of Summer? Just one mana, hexproof + counter counterspell + cantrip. Just for black/blue spells, but still ..

I considered it, but I think I'd rather have Dispel (which I'm trying to make room for) since it stops spot removal, some tutors, and Ad Nauseam.

From the new commander set, and the latest spoilers. Any cards really pop out to you?

Nothing. Most sets have nothing worth adding, so I'm not surprised.

Since the last Change Log on 6/19, have there been any changes since then??
