So you can Standstill, then use Jace to draw cards or Plot a bunch of spells, then cast them for 0 whenever opponent pops Standstill. You could even set up a big turn where you -20 yourself to Orcish...

Missed the opportunity to call this 3dogs vs 8gobs
Edit: Wonder what decks we'll see on Monday. Akroan Horse stompy vs Goblin Cannon
OK, if you do want to try brewing, there are some structural hurdles to overcome.
You need consistent ways to:
1) Get Eye onto the Battlefield (rest of deck depends on it, no replaceable effect)...
Another reason why this is not the time to innovate with UB Reanimator (with Eye or Conspiracy Unraveler).

Discrepancy.
Looks like GoblinSmashmaster may be right.
OTP 4dogs blocks fast enough to stabilize. But what if GoblinSmashmaster never attacks? Then 4dogs can only make 3 1/1s. 3 1/1s can't...
If that was the only life loss, sure. But it's 0 cards drawn unless you pay more life to cast those cards. Surveiling more cards doesn't really benefit you on its own. Draw7/Atraxa does have value on...
True, why pay 2 life to Taigam's Scheming (to then spend more life to cast things) when you can pay 7 to draw 7? Or pay 0 to draw 4-5 from top 10?
This is a fun thing to durdle with in Commander...
Aww rats, forgot to submit on time. I was on Show and Tell + Emrakul too (other cards were different), could have -4ed you!
FTW: 0 pts
Rules question: Is any of that actually Surveilling?
So you can kill something/discard opponent/Bolt them and then +Oko. Seems good in non-Beans 4c piles, but awkward with Beans (doesn't trigger with Solitude or Leyline Binding or Fury).
I'm surprised by Sword of Wealth and Power. Thought Hasbro was hoarding that for themselves.
The Gatherer piece says that.
But rufus pointed out another rules trap: both Flashback and Collect Evidence are alternative castings, and you can't do more than one alternative casting thing at...
It might be worth trying in the new Dredge. It can cast Faithless Looting and Otherworldly Gaze and Dread Return, to trigger Poxwalkers. It can also cast Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis without needing to...
Whole archetypes/brews were attempted, but never made Tier 1-1.5. Archetypes were attempted because the effects seemed theoretically strong T1. In practice, the decks didn't live up to potential.

A colorless 1cmc effect is clearly better and easier to use. But those 2-3cmc cards are castable turn 1 OTP. The decks that play them aim to cast them as early as turn 1 (using mana accel). Same...
Ban update seems fair. Bowman is not oppressive. It's nice to have something nonblue that keeps blue card draw in check. The format feels diverse. 2 different monored decks are tier 1, so black and...
Remember Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Emeria, the Sky Ruin are textless monocolor tapped lands if you never reach 6-7 lands. They require surviving to the lategame.
6 lands is not easy to hit...
If you want to combo with Scapeshift, it could still be protected by blue counters. Force has more synergy than Grief when you have Beans and no Reanimates.
Bloodghast is pretty bad these days,...
Is it having any success in paper Stoneforge builds?
The 1 putting up results (Coat) I made a note saying was good, just that it doesn't work with Thrull. Both Thrull & Coat builds have 4xStP, because removal matters like I said.
Guess Costume isn't...

Didn't mean to criticize your choice. They're mostly the same in your deck. Those are reasons why others would choose Therapy. The upsides are irreplaceable in other decks (flashback, and life loss...
