I see this being ridiculous in a correctly constructed or deck. It's a Kitchen Table MVP.
It'd be right at home in my weird casual Izzet/Prowess deck with Curse of Inertia and Hidden Strings, for example.

TerminusEdge posted a message on Jace, Wanderer of SecretsCan this be not-Jace? I think Jace has already hogged enough of the design space for blue planeswalkers.Posted in: Custom Card Creation
As for your abilities:
+1: Until your next draw step, creatures gain "This creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step." and "At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay 1. If you do, untap this creature."
-X: Scry X, then draw a card.
-8: You get an emblem with "Whenever you would draw a card, you may instead search your library for a card and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library."
I feel like Archmage Ascension would be a really cool emblem for a blue walker to give off its ultimate. -

Ashk'rya posted a message on [Developing] Simic DefianceWell it doesnt actively try to winmor lol, but its happens. I think winmor is fine if the deck isnt designed for it. This deck, the synergies is what makes it winmor, but taking away the synergies to make it winles seems...dur. LolPosted in: Standard Archives
what do you suggest? I know you have a great mind for the more competitive side of standard. What should be changed? A dash of control? That was my sb plan, to remove defiance and put in counters. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Creature - Ooze Octopus Oyster
When Ocho enters the battlefield put a slime, pearl, or tentacle counter on it.
UG: Remove a slime or pearl counter on Ocho and put a tentacle counter on it. Ocho may block up to 8 creatures this turn.
UG: Remove a pearl or tentacle counter from Ocho and put a slime counter on it. Ocho can't be blocked this turn.
UG: Remove a tentacle or slime counter from Ocho and put a pearl counter on it. Ocho gains Shroud until end of turn.
4/4

You are correct that it does make the deck weaker without it. Paradoxical outcome only costs 2 when you have a mox, turn 2 an anvil, etc
However if it is out of your price range I'd suggest a spicy SB and run a few other basics and Pentad Prism in it's place. Doing this you activate cards like Anger of the Gods (SB), Blood moon (SB), Fatal Push (SB) and it basically does the same as mox when casting an outcome while having the benefit of paying for whir all by itself, and paying for manaleak and it's ilk.

Agreed 3-1 is a nice step.
I see the count of snipers going down. I'm so proud. (Tear) Looks like in your report that it was just bad against 2 of the decks and situationally decent against the other 2. But I could be wrong...
Glad to see the bridges did work for you.
I kinda see this becoming a free win madness or madness side board deck. Where you sit behind bridges or moons and go wider than the opponents can handle. The red version wants to burn them out or whatever. This deck can outvalue decks in the long game due to squee effectively drawing a card with every looting or helping make a board faster than they can draw removal.
Example I would like to give is let's say you have a mediocre hand and iok a player with that style deck. Hand is squee, blood moon, bridge, infestation. What is the correct card to rip out? Unless your mana base is unable to get the colors in time you probably take moon, but then you have to think which is worse? Bridge locking you out or squee powered infestation? That's a hard call. One can stop you. One can stall or even kill you.

When Simian Arsonist enters the battlefield you may destroy target artifact if R was used to cast it.

Shortly after Goyf was printed I went to Dallas regionals. You know how many goyfs were at the tournament? 4. My 4. I placed 9th with a vexing sphinx goyf beat down deck. Only losing to dragonstorm in the 2nd round and round 5 ID with a friend I rode up there with. He placed 2nd to the same dragonstorm deck that beat him in round 4.
What's the point of this? Play the cards people haven't caught on to yet. Sometimes you are just ahead of the curve.
