MTG Salvation

Mythic Sanctuary looks promising.
Land - Island
This enters the battlefield tapped unless you control three or more other islands.
When this enters the battlefield untapped you may put target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to the top of your library.

Thank you Funky D for the decklist.

How is what you are playing with now working for you? What is your typical to-go win condition? Where do you run into problems? What type of decks are you normally playing against? You have a lot of counter magic for a multiplayer EDH deck. How's all that working for you?

Some immediate suggestions include:
Disallow over Tale's End
Future Sight instead of Precognition Field
Rain of Revelation, Foresee, or Deep Analysis seem better than Sift.

I would try to find room for staples like:

• Preordain
  
• Merchant Scroll
  
• Muddle the Mixture
  
• Faerie Trickery
  

Some of your counter magic might be what I cut for those. Rewind, Unwind, Overwhelming Intellect, & Overwhelming Denial.

Additionally, while I really like Brainstorm (and think you should keep it) you have no means of shuffling your deck after casting it which is kinda bad. If you want to keep it I would suggest adding a few more cards that search your library to help optimize it.

Good luck!

I like it but I don't know if it has a place yet in the current meta. Feels too slow and/or win-more. Somewhere in the future if Pauper gets more utility sac lands, or permanents that allow you to sacrifice lands, it might have a better application. Still planning on picking up a few when it comes out.

Pulse of Murasa and Weather the Storm are probably the best life gain options you don't already have listed. If you want to go all-in on Gates, Saruli Gatekeepers might be another option.

How's Spark Harvest been working out?

From Daily MTG today.

Pauper will soon be an official format for paper events and tournament support.

Per the article:

The Wizards Event Reporter will allow Pauper format events to be sanctioned at local stores and for large tournaments.

Gatherer will officially support searching by Pauper legality on July 9.

The definition of Pauper legality is expanding to include any card with a common printing in any paper or digital set. If the card is listed as a common on Gatherer from any set, it is legal in Pauper. This will add cards to the format that were not previously legal on Magic Online.

3 Additional cards will be added to the Pauper's banned list including:

• Hymn to Tourach
  
• Sinkhole
  
• High Tide
  

-------------

I'm excited by the news. Kudos to everyone who has been an evangelist for this format!

//EDIT:

Official announcement from Twitch.

Tolarian Community College has a video regarding the news plus additional info.

Just so everyone is aware MTG Salvation will continue to be online and accessible after July 8th but will be under new management. You can read more here. I believe some of the mods & admins were developing a new site prior to this new owner/manager coming about and they are committed to seeing it through so some may be leaving to focus on that site.

Isolate the character or elements you want to extract using the Quick Mask and other selection tools. Then cut & paste them into a new layer.

MTGSALVATION IS SHUTTING DOWN.. What a sad day.. I super loved talking about this deck and all the help you gave me with crafting this deck.. Better get any last chatter about this deck before it shuts down.. Sad day for pauper COA.

The site will remain in read-only mode after the close date (July 8th) and several of the mods are working on another site for future discussions. So all hope is not lost. Stay tuned.


//UPDATE: MTG Salvation will be live and accessible after July 8th to all but under new management. Read here for details.

No need to bump. This is the only new post for this sub forum in 2019.

This looks like a good start. I'm definitely interested in hearing how your games go. Here are a few notes:

I'll second Reaper's two cents on Mnemonic Wall over Scrivener. There are plenty of times where being able to recur a more relevant sorcery can matter.

Scribe of the Mindful's activated ability is slightly cheaper than Spellkeeper Weird's if P/T isn't a big factor for the deck. Both have "tap" in their activation so I am curious how well they do.

Other cards to I would consider for your maybe-board include: Costly Plunder, Perilous Research, or the newly spoiled Spark Harvest as a means of getting your creatures into the yard. Also, Fade into Antiquity if Deglamer and bounce aren't enough versus indestructibles.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world.

Nice article with interviews with the artists involved and nods to classic art.

Quote from Bradipo322 »

In an interview to Gavin Verhey made by the Professor, he announced that Oubliette will be reprinted in an undisclosed "future set".

Maybe I'm just being a little more skeptical in my old age but what I heard at approximately the 3:30 mark was "There is a set we are thinking about putting it in." (Emphasis mine). That's not a lock by any means.

And more than likely Wizards would want to update the artwork and that is typically done a year out from release. So if it's not a lock at this point that means we probably won't see it until the end of 2020 at the earliest.

That said, I would love to see it reprinted and I'm excited about a lot of what was discussed in the interview but at the same time things move super slow so we'll see.

Are mythics allowed as Commanders or just normal rares?

I know some constructed variants for Peasant have a limit on the number of uncommons a deck can run. Does this have one?

Are there specific uncommons that put Alesha on your watch list? I've brainstormed an all commons version but was never impressed with the deck's power level.
