You can immediately add those to downsides of playing Primal Order.
But why is no one playing Grim Discovery? I would have thought that at least Turbo Depths would at least try it out.

I think something like Night's Whisper ends up being better, and even that basically sees no play.

Nahiri, the Harbinger
- great abilities, ultimate is a game winner in two turns with Emrakul, just never seems to see any play.

There's a 3-card combo with Hazoret's Monument and Grinning Ignus. I imagine there's also some kind of necrotic ooze pile.
Re: Obscure Cards with Latent Potential
Reality Scramble seems like a card with potential. You could turn Jace, Telepath Unbound into Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, clue tokens into God-Pharaoh's Gift, or creature tokens into Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.

I'll join the suboptimal train and and say Connive // Concoct. Same cmc of Sneak Attack+activate once, and it synergizes with Lim-Dûl's Vault and, of course, Brainstorm.
Make The Black Show happen.:laugh:
Re: Obscure Cards with Latent Potential
4 Basalt Monolith
4 Aphetto Alchemist
4 Wake Thrasher
4 Crackdown Construct
What would be the best shell for this two card combo? Blue Stompy alongside Intuition and FoW?

What does power artifact add to the combo?
The 2 card combo makes infinite/infinite creatures. It doesn’t have any need or use for infinite mana.

i think it's a cheap, efficient beater that has utility. An added black lotus on it makes it ripe for abuse. I like Lava Dart with it, but there's plenty of stuff to play with this.

I've too have been experimenting with these cards since Crackdown Construct was spoiled and I enjoy the extra avenue of attack that infinite mana provides. My favorite use of that mana is Walking Ballista, which is a great card in this deck anyway because the infinitely large creature have no evasion of any type and the Ballista can help clear the way.
