I would love to see cultivator of blades combo with combat celebrant I just think the combo will be a lot harder without blue and UGR I think would be a very inconsistent base
I have been playing around with mono red and am in the process of switching it over to UR. Besides following this thread I was watching some videos and saw it being used and hadn't thought of it. I may try it tonight. Still tinkering the list and not sure exactly what I will play tonight since I am still missing some of the cards I want/need (warkite Marauder, spirebluff canal)
Thanks kmk888, great write up. 2 questions. I don't quite get what you mean by "Kill Toolcraft Exemplar with the trigger on the stack." Also, have you played around with Battlefield Scavenger?
What about using the effect in the opposite manner? Instead of trying to get it into kill shot range, can you somehow repeatably switch its power with your life total to cause a "gain life" or "lose life" trigger?
Correct me if I am wrong, but swapping life with power, going from 20 to 4, would not trigger "whenever you lose life effects" and switching it back, going from 4 to 20, would not trigger "whenever you gain life effects".
Lets take a moment to appreciate that with this printing, Sage of Lat-Nam will have been a common, uncommon, and a rare across three different printings.
Mythic sage when, Wizards?
SO I really like river sneak, especially with deeproot waters, it is usually 3 unblockable and often 4 or even 5. I guess the minus is more often not having a turn one play, assuming you are playing these over some or all of your Mist-Cloacked Heralds
In the few games I played over the weekend, Strategic Planning was key to get getting GFG on Turn 4. My biggest issue in the local meta is figuring best way to sideboard. Need more practice and thoughts at that. Facing mono blue control, mono black zombies, and Ramunap Red.

I think we have 1 more. I am assuming in G since there is no green mythic yet. Probably Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar.
The mythic printing will be in Masters 30
