I never got the update email for this post! Thank you for posting an update.

It looks like these are the changes you made:

Grand Coliseum --> Path of Ancestry
Fabricate --> Search for Azcanta...

Have you guys tried out Approach of the Second Sun, yet? It's alarmingly easy to set up the win in this deck. Door to Nothingness is hella sweet, of course, but Approach is probably a better win-con...

Any new tech out there you guys are trying?

Who's tested Painful Truths or Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast?

In other news, it looks like we have some sick Invocations to look forward to in...

Spoiler Warning! for Aether Revolt


So, we get two copies of Voidslime, now. Alternatively, we get a slightly easier to cast version of Voidslime, now.

Just wanted to echo this feedback about Seasons Past.

Every time I play against a GBx deck and they start looping Seasons Past with Demonic Tutor, it's nearly impossible to beat. Mid-game, a...

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I appreciate the question. Let me tie my earlier statements in better to what we are talking about in this thread and why I brought it up.

Child of Alara...

Other than Anguished Unmaking, is there anything of note for this deck in SOI?

In other news, I've been playing a 5c "Pauper" Commander deck that uses Child of Alara as the Commander. All other...

I'm with you.

As for Centaur Vinecrasher, how does it compare to Worm Harvest?

Did you guys see anything good for us in the new Commander 2015 set?

So, did you swap out a tutor to test BtL? Or a card drawing spell?

If you were just to compare BtL vs Wargate, how would you evaluate which of those cards to run?

Yes, you cast the card you find right away. The DT thing I mentioned is a way around that restriction, sort of.

Amon's comment, that BtL acts as a split card for different effects that we run, is...

Here's a quick list of cards with comments from Battle for Zendikar that might work in this deck. I haven't tested any of these yet, but I'd be interested to read your thoughts.

Ob Nixilis...

Agreed. The 5-color fixing of the artifacts is probably more useful than the slightly faster green ramp spells. I guess it depends on how quickly you want certain spells online.

There were quite a...

Ramping
I did some testing (10 games, 1vs1) with different configurations of ramp cards, swapping out the artifact ramp for the green ramp spells: Nature's Lore, Farseek, Explore, Three Visits,...

Jace's Sanctum jumped out at me from Origins. The curve on this deck is pretty tight, but spending less mana is always nice. I'm not sure that I am cranking out enough spells to make the repeated...

Brainstorm is one of those cards that makes this deck "smaller." Similarly, Ponder and Preordain, for a very low mana cost, will fix weak draws. Can you tell me more about cutting Brainstorm?

I...

I am probably going to break this up over a few posts so that I don't get timed out. :)

My short answer is that if I absolutely had to run Starfield of Nyx, I would also run Sterling Grove. To...

This is essentially what I am saying about Starfield of Nyx.

Starfield is a bad Replenish. I only need one effect like that in the deck, and Replenish is easier to cast, immediately impactful, and...

It's all good!

Amon has done an incredible job of describing this deck. I play less spot removal and more manipulation cards, but the mix of other cards is very similar. We are to the point where...

Starfield of Nyx also jumped out at me. I think it is worth testing. It's grindy and adds inevitability. That said...

It's a slow Replenish, a card we already run.

It also makes our...

Every slot in this deck is precious. If I was going to evaluate Myth Realized, without actually testing it, my thought process would be to compare it to what other cards we have available.

Myth...

I'd have to take another look at my deck, but the one card I've been testing that comes to mind is Rings of Brighthearth in the Phyrexian Metamorph slot.

Rings is great.

It puts you way ahead...

Keep the posts coming!

Like I said before, we travel in a pretty small circle. I've searched the web for 5c control EDH decks, and while there are some, I haven't found anything like what we are...

I've had the same experience with Door. It's is a one-card win condition, but I've been caught before by someone removing it from the game. Eating a Bojuka Bog at the wrong time sucks.

Just a couple of notes and thoughts.

Monastery Siege

I've been testing this out and I like it. I realize that this sounds crazy, but I swapped it in for Phyrexian Arena.

I'm not having...
