Nice list! I’m watching this thread with interest.....
My build of Teysa is more treasure orientated but I’m am liking reliquary monk as a removal slot. Just wondered people’s thoughts on this card for Teysa?
I’d like to say something constructive and supportive about this card, but I just lack the language to do so, thus i’ll just yell that this card is utter toss.
I agree that this deck needs viscera seer. It’s cheep and relevant early and late game, is a great ninja enabler for the general via sack and scry is very relevant for the deck!
Also have people considered standardize? Again a cheep surprise ninja enabler that is more directly tutorable with spellseeker!???
What’s people thoughts on chord of calling and the convoke mechanic with regards to being an extra tap ability for the fish sticks?? The 3 green mana required might be a bit steep? But the tutor ability I feel out weighs this cost...?
If your considering Nykthos then I feel that Growing Rites Of Itlimoc is also a must for big mana, esp with so many fish sticks (floating?!!?) around, hell if you can afford Mana Drain then go “all in” with Gaeas Cradle!!!
Speaking of lands I run Holdout Settlement (there is also Survivors Encampment) just to provide another tap ability for creatures.
I to am starting to warm to your thoughts of removing Coralhelm Commander. Might replace it with Cloudstone Curio, as combined with Cryptic Gateway and Intruder alarm things can go bonkers...
Ps sorry for not making the links for each card I suggest on your forum simply put I’ve forgotten how too! Doh
Haha I take on board your comments! I know it can be nerve wracking in a removal heavy meta waiting your next untap step re tradewind.
As I said my list went bant and I’ve gone a stax route in order to fully capitalise upon my multi untap abilities, thus no awaken for me!
I also get what your saying re Shepard but I also have the luxury of aura shards in my deck!
Have you considered using minamo School at waters edge? GREAT with Empress G and the new legendary change for planewalkers!!!
Hello I run a very similar deck but have gone into bant, but here are a few suggestions for your consideration!
Cryptolith rite is earthcraft v2
Throne of the god-pharaoh is an alternative wincon
Tradewind rider is surgespanner v2
Nullmage shepherd I think has better potential in this deck than reclamation sage
You can go bonkers with cryptic gateway esp with intruder alarm in the deck!
Dear god PARADOX ENGINE nuff said!!
I appreciate they are not Merfolk. Tradewind is redundancy with surgespanner (but can be costly for the effect) and might combine well with the Aluren suggestions being posted.... food for thought!
Hi Tev
Have you considered tortured existence to complement phyrexian reclamation?
Found it excellent in my Edgar build, mind you my deck has a minor madness theme to support it
Here are a few suggestions that have worked well for me!
Scarecrone. Has a self sacrifice for card draw
Grim haruspex. More excellent card draw
Cadaver imp. Recursion
Sorceress queen. If I'm correct with the stacking rules using sorceress queen on a creature with above 1 power and turning it into a 0/2 means that when that creature dies shirei's trigger resolves and allows you to return that creature!!
Coffin queen. Great for resurrecting creatures from ANY graveyard.
Noxious toad. With the card errita it now reads each opponent discards a card when it dies!!!
Triskelion. Great for pinging or doing direct damage and can self sacrifice to allow it to return
Good to see another azami player!
I've found with my list is that I tried to make my existing wizards as flexible as possible so they can do various things depending on the circs... What do I mean? Well various wizards have activated and triggered abilities... And they can draw cards with azami, but what about being able to counter spells as well? That's why I recommend you get
Patron wizard!!!
Tapping your wizards to counter spells! Yes please!
Add with this the ability to tap your wizards multi times in a round and things get bonkers! Which is why I also recommend
Intruder alarm
Your enemies will be afraid to play both creatures and spells! And with suitable timing on your turn you can draw 10's of cards!!!
