MTG Salvation

So, I don't play a lot of control but I got tilted a while back by my groups hard control into big mana win cons. So I made Oona as a big mana, draw go deck. So... let's see how it goes.

Silumgar, the Drifting Death could give you a beefy blocker who can also counter some swarm tactics. Fog Bank may be kind of weak given how many similar effects you run I tend to like Guard Gomazoa just a little more given its less weak to Sword of Fire and Ice / Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite.

Academy Ruins would fit nice given some of the powerful artifacts you run. I like Volrath's Stronghold too but it might be a little weak for your list given what your creatures look like.

I don't love Disallow just given I don't know that there is anything you specifically need to stifle here. I tend to like it more when I actually want to consider Stifle as a card in the list.

I actually... really like all of this feedback. Instead of switching out Fog Bank though. I am going to to just trade Disallow for Silumgar, the Drifting Death. I also shifted some lands around to include more swamps and include both lands you just mentioned.

Noteable Changes
Disallow -> Silumgar, the Drifting Death

I am not as sure about this one but Torpor Orb might be nice too. I did see like 7 ETB creatures in your list but thats probably not that many that you couldnt play arround it.

Whir of Invention might also be good. Its been a card that has been doing some good work for me of late. If you do consider the Torpor Orb I think its a nice add too. I would go as far as say that at the minimum you could probably trade Trinket Mage in for Whirl.

Both of these suggestions sound fairly solid actually. Whir is also nice in that, it will let me grab a mana doubler potentially at instant speed, or a wrath.

Torpor Orb also sounds amazingly solid.

Notable Changes
Trinket Mage -> Whir of Invention: Whir hits more the same one drops for one more mana, but also hits more expensive things. It also does it at instant speed.
Bitter Ordeal -> Torpor Orb: Bitter Ordeal sounds awesome... but I doubt it is going to work out without having to many moving pieces.

So I was talking with a friend and he mentioned that Dark Impostor might have a lot of synergy with this deck in regards to big mana. I had added Scour from Existence in the initial list to deal with creatures like Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Wurmcoil Engine, and other pesky creatures.

Scour from Existence -> Dark Impostor

Ohh my god, I needed more draw. Hopefully these changes fix that issue.

Noteable Changes
Kokusho, the Evening Star -> Necropotence
Bitterblossom -> Read the Bones
Expedition Map -> Mystic Confluence

You said the goal of the deck is to draw go into infinite mana but you're missing a lot of infinite mana combos such as:

Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + Mana Rocks
Cabal Coffers + Deserted Temple + Rings of Brighthearth
Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith
Basalt Monolith or Grim Monolith + Power Artifact
Paradox Engine + Isochron Scepter + Mana Rocks

I wouldn't add all of them but a few would help your game plan.

One other card I really like in my list is Dire Undercurrents. It's pretty similar to Kindred Discovery but has discard attached as well which is useful. My list is much more black mana themed but might give you some ideas.

The deck isn't infinite mana. The deck is BIG mana. The difference is that I am not trying to combo win, just attrition by generating faeries that I can use to block with.

Dire Undercurrents was a card I was considering but I hadn't added for some reason. I should likely find space for it, as neutering people's hands while generating faeries sounds amazing.

Ah yeah that makes sense. Avoiding infinite combo is a valid choice. Another huge blowout card is Oblivion Sower. If you aren't going inifinite but have exiled a lot of cards from a library you can get a ton of land off of them.

I completely forgot about that card. I don't know if I can include it, because it feels a bit win-more. Lets assume I am able to mill someone 20 cards with Oona, 1/3 should be lands which means it should be about 7 lands. Before playing that card. I would need to use 21 mana minimum milling a single opponent (which is hard to validate as I try to use my mill re-actively to generate blockers and punish the attacker). While this would pay for itself I think it is a touch too complicated to include. Also important, if I just jack 7-ish lands the person who I have been stolen from have the ability to spite scoop and deny the lands and I would like to avoid that. That is my only issue with that card.

Dire Undercurrents is more likely of the two to find a home however due to the fact it curves into Oona, draws cards, and disrupts my opponents which I like a lot.


Noteable Changes
Mystic Confluence -> Dire Undercurrents: I added Confluence because the deck desperately needed more draw. I also run enough counterspells already, so the choices it gives are not impactful enough for me to prefer it to Dire Undercurrents. Dire Undercurrents should add some power draw, and add consistent disruption.
