i agree, i think the core of the deck should be more UW. With the pain lands enabling TKS and displacer.
There isn't much around for creatures with good ETB triggers. Maybe just add more utility in the jeskai card that can copy a spell for 4 mana. the two drop i cant remember its name.
I honestly don't plan on playing standard anytime soon but it would be cool to see this type of deck around.
I want to start by saying I currently not playing competitive standard but i saw two cards that peeks my interest in SoI. I play UW blink in EDH and really enjoy playing the value decks.
Essence Flux - Can easily just ignore the spirit part of this card. Eerie Interlude - Being able to target which creatures you're blinking is pretty nice.
Thanks in advance for taking a look at this thread. I'm looking for some feedback and any synergistic cards I may have missed.
I pretty much only play multiplayer and the meta is non combo. We feel combo really takes away from the spirit of EDH. We do have soft locks and cards like omniscience floating around, but as long as you don't explicitly search them out it's fine.
The general idea of this desk is ramp/remove threats until it's not needed any more then spawn/pump tokens to kill people.
Notable Excludes Boundless Realms - Not enough basic lands to support it.
Most of the artifact ramp is excluded due to an abundance of hate in the meta. Juniper Order Ranger(and like cards) - This type of card felt too slow with the exception of Cathars' Crusade
This update is great. Have you thought about trimming the multicolor down to three cards per pair? In such a small cube I have found 30 multicolored cards to be more than enough.
i have to many pet cards in multi color to make that cut...
I think they're about on par. Random discard is really powerful when it connects though... I think the potential power level of the Hyppie makes up for it's lack of consistency.
Edit**wall of text with tons of advise =). the post below was b4 i saw that comment.
on Hermit Druid, lol, was never in my cube, 100% a typo last night when i was putting the list on MWS
i fixed it on the list in this thread as soon as i saw that.
thx both for the feedback =)
@sexyindiancurry and rant - going to do this comment by comment from each section
i just made a huge change to the list about a month ago, i was out of town and didnt get to see any of the new stuff in action. spell pierce, yea no clue yet.
land
i really only have 10 slots to worth with after duel/shock/fetch. i tried the muti-color manlands before i cut the cube to 375. i really like them but there is just no room for them any more =(
As for city, port, dust. just no room unless i cut the vivids. i haven't seen much 5cc out of my play group for some reason.
artifact
icy for puppet strings is going to happen for sure. i have been wanting to do that just gota find me a foil 1 =0
obelisk of alara only goes in one deck for the most part, so cutting cut it for the new masticore seems very reasonable
sigil has been really good for me, but ill give bonesplitter a shot
green
i agree with u that i need more 3 drops but i was trying my hardest to stay away from the double green in the lower drops, that being said Viridian Shaman is going in over the command, i would like to add wall of roots back in as well.
black
i been trying to cut cards from black, its a pain, ill look in to disfigure and Fume Spitter =)
blue
this section had a major change i havent played with the cube since then.
red
the goblin is new as well. it may just be really bad but idk yet. ill fill you in after FNM
gold
meddling kids > call target, that turns off a ton of cards in the cube if u are ahead its hella nice.
wild nat. is a shard card imo, was cut when i went to 375
loam lion/ape what to cut ? tattermunge? and ugg, yea idk, i love me some old boarder foil mirari's wake.
i know my g/u section is horrible ill get on that =/
Flickering trinket mage to get Sensei's Divining Top to drawing my deck, then looped Stroke of Genius for the win.
Flickering Reveillark to get Burnished Hart back, sac it for a shuffle, then use Sensei's Divining Top until I get the card I wanted for the win.

4 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy
4 Thought-Knot Seer
3-4 Essense Flux
2-3 Eerie Interlude
4 Reflector Mage
2-3 Archangel Avacyn
4 Declaration in Stone
4 Anticipate
2-3 Goblin Dark-Dwellers
2-4 Roast
3-4 Exquisite Firecraft
2 Eldrazi Displacer
24-26 lands
Essence Flux - Can easily just ignore the spirit part of this card.
Eerie Interlude - Being able to target which creatures you're blinking is pretty nice.
With cards like Goblin Dark Dwellers, Reflector Mage, and Jace, Vryn's Prodigy in the format does anyone else think there is room for a blink deck?
Let me know what you think...

Mega Gaming and Comics is the store where i play.
cube link in my sig.
i have to many pet cards in multi color to make that cut...
i love me some random discard =)...good ol' hymm.
slaughter pact hasnt been in the cube since the first update.
i cut it for innocent blood, for some more sac effects.
edit** the list on the first page is now** up to date.
Spell Pirce ---> Glen Elendra Archmage
Spitemare ---> Brion Stoutarm trying this guy out.
Lilana's Specter ---> Go for the Throat i was never really a fan of the specter.
what should i cut for....
Go for the Throat?
and i wanted to add Glen Elendra Archmage to the mix ...not sure what to cut there ether.
the list in the original post is not accurate due to updates posted...ill get on that..
~ maximo
ill get the updates list to the cc thread asap, it takes me a while to sort and what not. i dont really know all of the tricks yet.
yea i havent played with the current list yet.
the old list was heavy heavy reanimator which usually won
or
the r/w aggro armagedon gets there
ill let u know as we get some more run in with this list.
As for updates
see post #1 ill have all my changes in there. ill update it shortly
nacatl feels like a tri color card to me. i think i may just add it in a artifact slot.
ape/lion will come in for the cards your suggesting
id rather go with utility then manlands to replace vivids
~maximo
on Hermit Druid, lol, was never in my cube, 100% a typo last night when i was putting the list on MWS
i fixed it on the list in this thread as soon as i saw that.
