Ah yes, Spellskite is probably the better (but less surprising) choice :)

Ah yes, Spellskite is probably the better (but less surprising) choice :)
When you're getting your pieces Abrupt Decayed, or when there's a Chalice of the Void on 1, for instance. It's a flexible protection card that is undervalued in the metagame, I think.
I always found people underestimated the power of Apostle's Blessing as a protection spell for the key painter combo pieces, amongst other things. Maybe you could try it for matchups like Grixis...
A number of moons ago, when BR Reanmiator first reared its ugly head, I decided to axe all D&T's graveyard hate for 4x Leyline of the Void in the SB. The very first match I found myself in need for...
I was tempted to ask in here what's going on with that, too. Is it connected to the price inflation of Storage Matrix in any way?
I'm developing a UR list into that same direction. Some of the interactions that Liquimetal Coating enables are completely bonkers, but I'm not sure yet if I want a combo-ish Painter shell, or a...
Engineered Explosives has random upsides of its own, though: You can use sunburst to effectively get around Thalia, Guardian of Thraben's CC tax, and I've also cast it for 0 into a Chancellor of the...
Liquimetal Coating is a *very* interesting card. It enables a lot of shenanigans with Goblin Welder and Dack Fayden, obviously, but I also like how it interacts with Transmute Artifact, Affinity, and...
In my experience, the actual value of Ethersworn Canonist primarily depends on two things: First, if the opponent has removal for it right away (as opposed to having to dig for it, which *will* take...
Abolisher completely shuts out your opponent during your turn own, so any instant speed interaction with Painter's Servant or (casting) Grindstone is nullified, which will win the game for Painter -...
I was considering Mother of Runes in this deck as well. I've been playing Death and Taxes long enough to appreciate how good that card is. Now, I also respect Ethersworn Canonist for its ability to...
Smuggler's Copter doesn't make the cut for me because it depends on another creature to do _anything_. And that's for a 2-mana artifact that itself eats creature removal if it's doing work, costs 3...
Leonin Abunas is 2/5 even, and it interacts much more favourably with Goblin Welder than Hanna's Custody. It's rather hard to tell which one to try, but I do feel intrigued by both options!
